Changing Sequence of order

Text according to illustration:

Final Story Board- Work in Progress

This will act as my blueprint later, and the visuals and the ending needs to be tested, so a rendered outline form of the book will help a great deal. Simultaneously the narrative is being formed, the reader gets a visual and text experience. To see if the point of the message is coming across, what is the experience the reader is going through. The content that was generated previously is put on walls around me so and cross check on the information that is put in the book, as well as understand the information that was not taken to form the narrative and how some of these small details can be added back

Full Spreads: Revenue Land, open for buying and selling, relationship between human and grasslands

Humans bringing in predators, apart from the ones that already exist in the ecosysytems

Re-Arranging Story Line

Breaking from the original cronological order, while sticking to it by creating a different beginning instead of starting from Agumbe, where the information about Agumbe and their work will now be mentioned in the Acknowledgements

Thinking of Alternative Beginnings

Feedback from seminar two

In terms of form,

- explore materials

-justify the form and size

-understand in what kind of a space this book will be used.

in terms of content

- whats the difference of information found in the book that you cannot find on google?

- rare events, specials events different from normal events

-doing justice to information

-bring the value

-as this information is based in a specific grasslands in agumbe, and not generalized.

-evidence making

-celebration of the data sheet.

-difference of behaviour of lapwing from agumbe grassland vs lapwing from a different grasslands

in terms of visuals

- give views (perspectives) that the audience cant really see.

- different angles

-dramatic during actions, and horizontal during narration.

in terms of storyboard.

-break from the chronological order

-let courtship, mating, nesting ....etc be the foundation but begin the book from a different point.

-in order to engagae the audience, add elements like thrill, trigger, suspence etc.

-make it like an experience

- non judgemental

- nothing should be assumed or should be from ('figment of my imagination')

 imagine the book, and how one will experience it and what will they go away feeling?

- imagine the ways of telling the story of the lapwing - it's cycles - through your visual style

- imagine the narrative that you will take the viewer through

- imagine your own journey through this project and what you wish to achieve for yourself

- wonder about the grasslands and lapwings evolving over time, whatever the time lapses, wherever they go and come from, whenever they are born or die
