Papyrus Colouring Book Extra Pages

Ideas and Roughs

• Ideas based around the same theme as the original brief - taking time to de-stress and relax. 
• Thinking about layout and how the cover pattern can incorporate text. 
• Layouts of internal pages, making the double page spread appear balanced. 

Drawings

• I drew out all the components separately to be efficient with my time. This would mean it was all editable on screen and I could make changes without needing to draw things out again. 
• I drew the Papyrus logo to fit in with this style, it is a flower so it fit in with the natural/woodland theme I was using on the cover. 

Cover

• Final design for the cover. I added in smaller versions of each element around the placeholder for the text so that it gave this are a kind of frame. 
• The layout of the front and back is almost identical but the pattern doesn't fall in the same place on each page which makes them appear different. 
• We tried out a number of ways to add colour using the Papyrus brand guidelines but decided against this in the end with input from the senior art director. 
• The day after completing this work, I was asked to send over the other versions with some spot colours on so I'm not sure which one they will use in the end. 

Introduction Page

• I had originally spread the shells across the top half of the left hand page too just leaving a space for the text but I was then asked to change this into a small border.
• I enjoyed drawing these shells, this was probably my favourite subject matter from the whole project. 
• There was no issue with colour here as this will be a page that can be coloured in. 

Helpline Page

• These were my least successful pages in my opinion. The layout doesn't look as natural as the others and it feels overly busy, but they were happy with the outcome. 
• I didn't think the large numbers worked well but after raising my concerns about how dense the drawings were and how the edges looked a little too crisp, they said this was how they wanted it.

Overall the extra work I have done on this project has been really beneficial to my development and learning about how projects like this work.  It has been a good experience and I have proved yet again that I can be very productive under pressure.
