Planning booklet word

1. Digital Graphic Narrative Planning
Use this booklet to help structure your planning and collate your planning documents.
Considerations:
There are lots of things to consider in this project. Fill out each section in detail to show you have thought about each one. You
should imagine that this is a live project, so considerations like cost, quantity and codes of practice must be thought about in that
context rather than just as a college project.
Costs:
The production costs that I will take under consideration is that it would be in the price bracket of around £3-£5
is I feel that this is a very suitable for a book, also this is the type of price what most books sell for in retail
stores.
Available resources:
The resources which are available to me are computers, Internet, Photoshop along with a camera if I wanted
to take some pictures which may help the story have a realistic aesthetic and so that it looks like my own
personal work, this will reduce the risk of infringement.

2. Quantity:
The amount of books which I will be creating will be in the price range of around 50-100, this is because I feel
that it’s best if you start off with a reasonable number as your books aren’t guaranteed to sell out, also it’s a
sensible number to start on as you don’t know straight away what the retail stores will sell your book.
Audience and Target Market:
The audience that I will be aiming at is the age between 6-11, as I feel that this is the appropriate age for the
books content and the writing style. With regards to other demographics that I have aimed at, I think that my
book will be appropriate for all social grades and I also think that the book will appeal to parents or Guardians,
as the book is based on an old Fable story, which they’re familiar with.
Quality Factors:
The quality factors of the book are that it will be made and each page quality through out the book will be the
same, this will allow the book to have consistency and will make the product sell.
Codes of Practice:
The codes of practice, which I will need to follow, are that my work has to be my own and can’t infringe any
cartoon characters, which are already still in existence or use the exact same characters in a different setting.
One other aspect that I have take under consideration is if I create my own setting and not use pre existing this
will allow me to not go under any copyright infringement.

3. Regulation:
The regulation that I will be following is what is shown on the code of practice, it is important to follow this so
that your work doesn’t go under any infringement. I don’t have anything that will be a problem towards the Toy
Act as it doesn’t have any Toys in it.
Copyright:
With regards to copyright, I’ll make sure that my work is my own work and it doesn’t copy any other character
or any of the setting of another book or the content of any huge media based corporation.
Ethical Issues:
In my book their won’t be any ethical issues or any offensive content which may offend my target audience, for
example it doesn’t have any harmful content in the book that will cause any offence to the reader and it also
won’t influence any negative behaviour towards the reader.

4. Resources:
A successful project relies on good planning. Considering all the resources you will need for a project and then assessing which
you already have and which you need will help ensure you are ready to start your project.
If there is a resource you don’t currently have, then consider how you are going to get it before you go in to production.
Resource:
Do you have
it? What do you need to do to get it?
Computer Yes College have the facilities in order to complete the work
Photoshop Yes College MAC’s which also have Photoshop on them
Internet Yes College has WIFI

5. Production Schedule:
Delivering your project on time is vital. In order to do this, you need a solid plan of action. This will help you divide up your work in
to manageable chunks to be tackled one at a time. It will also allow you to plan which tasks need to be done in which order. It will
also allow you to track your progress each day. If you are falling behind, you will need to modify the way you work. If you work
faster than expected, you can clearly see what the next steps you need to take are.
Each session is a half day of college.

12. Health and safety:
Your health and safety and that of those around you is very important. Just like in industry, an accident could prevent you from
working. Whilst we don’t work in a highly dangerous environment, there are still risks. Some are short term, such as trips and
spillages whilst others, such as long term damage to eyesight or back problems, may affect you much later in life.
Consider the risks based on the activities you will be undertaking during the project. Explain how you could prevent them from
happening.
Ensure you reference appropriate pieces of legislation, design to protect people at work.
