For my print solution to this brief I considered a comic strip a suitable option. However, despite enjoying reading comics when I was younger and appreciating the imagery, I was putting off actually producing any illustrations for it, as I didn't feel comfortable drawing the characters. That was until I came across this book "Tim the Tiny Horse" - written and illustrated by Harry Hill. This was really useful to help me develop my approach to the task at hand. The humour used is ideal and the style of illustration makes me feel a lot more comfortable and suits the kind of narrative my book/comic strip will have.



"Little people in the city" is also a useful resource when looking at scale of people in comparison to the environment. However, a lot of the content involves making miniature props which isn't something I'm interested in doing for this brief. Also the humour used is probably not suitable for a younger audience.



This is a stationery set that was given away free with a Dr Who magazine. It's interesting to see how they've used the Dr Who brand across the stationery. This has given me some sort of idea how to approach my branding of the stationery.



I bought these pieces of stationery because they have the ability to be re-branded. Also it's interesting to see how they have approached branding the objects. Unlike the Dr Who example they have used labels and other packaging to do this, whereas the Dr Who stationery was printed straight onto/used stickers. These are two possible approaches I could take.
