- I redrew the layout for the kiss page. I think that the kiss sprawling out over both sides will be an effective use of space but I still think that something about it looks off. At this angle, the ghost looks a bit awkward and should be tilted more. To rectify this, I will tilt the mirror instead so that the flow of the page is still the same. I will also add hair and wafting smoke to make it feel more dynamic and fill up the blank bits to the left. It is the climax of the story so should feel dramatic.
- Another page I have continually reworked is the bath tub scene. The silhouette of the ghost behind the curtain comes off too creepy. It should be eerie but not intimidating. To change this I went for a more human but still nondescript shape.
- I so reworked the page with ghost in the upper corner. For this project, I have had to be very mindful to use the layout to get across the relationship between the characters. I still want them separated by the split in page, getting closer as it goes on, but I needed a way to still the them together to symbolise the ghost’s interest reaching out. While experimenting with this page, I chose to use a semi translucent smoke as it looked nice and got the feeling across.
- I also experimented with colour and decided to stick to blues, pinks, purples and greens. I tried to alternate between palettes to give the eye variation through out the book so the reader doesn’t get bored.
