Work Session
Yesterday
you should have roughed out your storyboard for your picture book, and today
it's time to start putting it all together!!
First, you should decide what text is going on what page. Using your
rough draft, go through and mark what you want to say on page 1, on page 2, and
so on. Consider the following:
Don’t put too much text on the page so that it will overshadow your
writing.
Consider, perhaps, putting text on one side of the page, and
illustrating the other side.
If you want a single sentence to stand out, put it alone across one or
two pages. Or, if you have a beautiful illustration, you could dedicate a whole
page to it and put very little writing on that page.
Next, you should figure out what pictures you want to put on each page.
Obviously I don’t want you to labor over the drawings on the storyboard, but
you should have an idea of what the pictures should show. Consider the
following:
Make your illustrations dynamic. You don’t want to have the same picture
over and over again, right?
Make sure your illustrations show what the text says.
Use lots of color and imagination in your drawing ideas. Remember, this
is for little kids!
I'll give you guys paper to begin your bookmaking process and remind you
how to fold it. Enjoy!
