1. Final Book Project

2. Objective: Produce a handmade book containing both illustration and copy. The written and illustrated area should cover the equivalent of eight 7” x 8.5” pages (half of a 14x8.5 inch sheet). This is the largest page size we will be working with. The pages must be in increments of 4 (8, 12, 16, ect.) so that they can be bound.

3. All illustration media are acceptable. Pen and ink… Watercolour…

4. Line and wash….Pencil crayon…

5. Just be sure that your images have context and a good composition… A is for apple.

7. If you wish to use actual typed copy, produce the copy on the computer, print it out, do a paste up and I will photocopy it on to the cartridge paper, then you can create an illustration.

8. The project will be evaluated on originality, technique, care and effort, and principles and elements of art and design. Marks allotted as follows: 8 Illustrations with text…../40 marks (5 each) Binding…………………………../10 marks Layout……………………………../10 Cover………………………………./5 TOTAL……………………………../65
