Blueprint Update
Manuscript: The manuscript is almost complete. I have decided to include these categories within my book; fruits, vegetables, kitchen utensils, tools, colours, shapes and school supplies. I have also decided to vary the number of items within each category because of the different sizes and shapes of each item. Each item will be followed by a brief definition and description. The end of the book will include a section where the child can photograph and describe a collection of items of their own, it will be engaging and fun for them to complete!
Children will find this book valuable because it is a visual resource filled with great information, while parents and teachers will also find it valuable because its a great learning tool!
Size: I have been going back and forth a lot with the size of the book, should it be big or small? Finally I’ve decided to make it 6.75 x 9 inches. I think this size works well with my target audience, as it’s not going to be too overpowering
Grids & Typesetting: I have decided to use a 5 column grid for this particular book. I am still determining the typeface and size. I am thinking of using Twentieth Century and Centennial.
Photography: I am still in the process of taking all the photographs for the book, below is a sample. Each section of the book with have an establishing shot similar to the one below. I will also include close up shots of each item that will be included next to each definition and description.
Binding: I agree with the class’ responses and have decided to create a hardcover for the book.
Potential Names (again): Stuff you should know!
