Graded unit

The first mentoring session has passed and now I can move forward on what I would like to focus on.  I will be doing the caterpillar life cycle. I have drawn a few caterpillars with different textures in Illustrator.  I tried out the graphic pen, which I found to be much like using the mouse but I will use it again tomorrow, to see if I find it better to draw with once I get the hang of it.  I like one of my caterpillars as I have given it a furry texture which makes him more lovable, which I think would appeal to children.  We have been working on 3D this evening and my Lemur is coming along slowly.

Start of the graded unit

I have picked the brief on the interactive timeline.  I have chosen to do a children's theme where a caterpillar eats and eats, and gets fat and turns into a cocoon and then emerges as a beautiful butterfly.  I will be aiming it to 3-6 year olds (remembering that parents and teachers would also be the ones to purchase the tutorials).  The idea is to make a fun interactive game for little ones to play (easy to navigate) where a lesson is also learned which would be the life cycle of a caterpillar.  I will design the whole thing on Flash and design the CD cover.

Here is the storyboard of pics to get my creative juices flowing.  The board has been annotated, but by hand so is not showing on here.
