session one - Video Notes

Here are some notes taken from the first part of the video about picture books:


• Feel the sound of the words and  the rhythm they make on the page. This will make them more interactive and appealing to children.


• Successfully picture books include the Beatrix Potter range, Noddy and more recently Charlie and lola.


• Books are like toys - they enter the world of imagination and play.


• An element of interativity will build up suspention making it more captivating.


• Some picture books evolved from nursery rhymes. i think this could have some relation to the movement, rhythm and repetition of type you can get in certain story books.


• Famous childrens picture book illustrators include Arthur Rackham, Kate Greenaway and  Randolph Caldecott.


• Caldecott took a nursary ryme and illustrated it in detail to create strong visuals that encapture children and adults alike. 1877 - 1886.


•A good strategy is the embrace sound with in the imagery.


• Laying out the typography in a way that reflects the rhythm and beat of the story.
