Page Changes

When making the PDF in InDesign I found I had to add pages to fill out my book to make it work for blurb.com, so i could get it published professionally, I found it very difficult with the pages as the website was very confusing as it kept changing the minimum page requirements from 22 to 24, I also had trouble with the sizing, for some reason even though I did the PDF in A4 it wasn't the right size for blurb. To help and change this I made sure I had 24 pages by including information pages and pages of my favourite illustrations. Fortunately on the website it helped my change the sizing and gave me a preview to help visualise it and check everything over. I have now ordered 3 published books.

Adbuster shows consumers how bad company's are to the environment and to them. My favourite image is of a baby being breast fed and the mother having a burger painted on her boob, this is very inspiring as it shows that any bad greasy food the mother eats so does the baby, this poster is meant to open women's eyes up to being careful of what they eat when pregnant. This has inspire me to try and develop a certain logo and change it into something bad they do; Pepsi logo being turned into an obese person as there is a lot of sugar and calories in them.

All his artwork is very realistic which works well in his favour as it adds more of a weird and creepy aspect to the work. It has inspired me to use colour but in a neutral and with a low saturation through out the book.

Original stories Dinsey used to base their movies off

Lots of Disney films are based off Original books that are changed to be more compatible with their child audience. The original stories are quite gruesome and horrid, I want to make a Illustrated piece to show people that not all stories begin happy.
