Storybook project – final reflections

My final reflections would be on coordinating with my group mates. In the previous posts, I presented our design process in a more organized manner to make it easier to understand, but we were actually quite uncoordinated and confused at times.

This was because Yin Lam and Melissa had finished tracing, and I had finished colouring a few pages when we consulted Julian on the story. So when our story was changed, some scenes were cut or had to be drawn again. This messed up the number of pages, and it was confusing for us to refer to any scenes or even the versions of the story.

I was particularly confused as I had to do the margins as well. I had lots files of different stages of the book: tracings, coloured pages, pages with margins, etc. I had lots of source files as well, from the different production stages, and some from Melissa, who helped me colour. As a result, I had to burn 2 CDs to contain all of them :S

Still, I enjoyed working on the book (though not the sleep-deprived nights) (;
