I put all the pages into a powerpoint so I could pdf them. That changes the layout from the aspect ratio and page position that the final book will be in. I will work with Chris tomorrow in Blurb to get it all together, properly, for printing. I may need to make another glued together prototype for the 3rd exhibition, just so I know I'll have something to present.
For this Pitch THIS! competition, I've added an episode summary to the beginning of the illustration/dialogue sequence, contents page, and a creator bio/mission statement.
I've asked my PR/journalist mate to look over the bio/mission statement. She's already suggested pointing out Girl's name is meant to give her a fresh slate that a name like Britney, Dakota, or Elle (for example) would not give her. Nobody famous, nobody UNfamous is called Girl as a proper name. And it could be that she HAS a real name but since only the imaginary friends talk to her, that's what they call her and that's fine. After all, do we talk to ourselves with our own names?
It's looking more and more like a real pitch bible!
I've also added line sketches to the character pages to fill the "dead" space above their descriptions.
Some of them are more interesting than others; Jellybean's shows movement and character development while Prickles just shows a grouchy ball. I think that Prickles, above all the characters, will be very "face-based" in the acting to make him interesting. He doesn't have any hands or walking styles that will help convey emotion, so getting his expression right and keeping them constantly moving will be key.
