My feedback was pretty positive:
theme and subject
- children's book is relevant idea, my style is well suited. Work so far with landscapes are figures look good
- possibly reconsider age group, is 9 too young?
- visual ideas are a great way to inform about this topic, makes it easier to understand
- characters are simple and iconic
- keep playing with scale to suggest authority/social class
appropriateness
- doing a second book may be too ambitious, maybe just propose the front cover and content
- keep exploring characters
- idea of having two books 'rise' and 'fall' works well
- how will you show link between two products? colour palette maybe?
- contextual references are very relevant
- make a colour palette to stick to, will make work more consistent
- consider how much text will be on page, relevant to age group
- simple/iconic approach is really strong
- keep experimenting with background, will help keep a common theme/mood throughout
media/format
- textures and background working really well
- where will the text exist? within the illustrations? make sure front cover fits will illustrations
- start including text so I can play around with layout and not rush it at the end - make it more if a combined product
other
- start planning pages asap and what text will go where, can have a more realistic idea of what I am dealing with
- visually everything is consistent
- if age group is 9-12, maybe include something interactive
- maybe consider a concertina format if I am working from a timeline
- from visuals so far it doesn't seem like there will be a struggle to put together a coherent book but think about narrative and how I will make key moments stand out
- age group is appropriate, but maybe re-word and simplify text to make it less long winded
- could maybe add a dialogue to make it interactive?
