Development

Stories

It first started with google doc then my journal that got me started with writing down ideas for my stories.


Next came writing the keywords/title for each story. The story Land I start on a google doc and then went on to use my journal which helped me to come up with the ideas for my stories. How this work is that each word represents each story, it's a way to write about it but also making it the focus of the story.  Story 3 and six didn't happen because I did start writing it but I was having trouble trying to complete it, so I left it at four which is a good amount.













Next was adding small sentences and some keys words. This is very similar to a creating a chapter timeline, but with these stories, they don't have chapters, so instead, I did the keywords/titles.








 Part of story 4



Next was actually wring the story up on google doc, then Grammarly

Google Doc




Now all stories placed on the Blurb book layout on InDesign.





Book cover

Started with two sketches for the first two book cover Ideas.




But when I released that they were hard to design I came up with another sketch. This one is a more straightforward design so that it's guaranteed that I would have one that I could design if the other two didn't end up working out.



And on Photoshop I design the simple book cover



























However, when Nick saw it, he said that I could do better and showed me a simple design which looked even better. So using a different picture (I took the photo) I redesign the cover and also added an image that I used on my first FMP. Because I created the cover on the same day, there is no sketch.


New book cover which I will be using                                             



Everything is all laid out on InDesign ready for printing.
