OUGD504 // Design for print and web // Activity book content

The design of the activity book is the next thing i am going to tackle, i dont think that this will be that hard to design and something that i will enjoy. The majority of the publication is just a heading on a page, but then i am going to liven it up by doing some doodles; hence me enjoying designing it. 

Here are some mock ups to show the style and how each page will look:


I have a long list of things to put in the book to get the user interacting with the book, im not going to include them all because i think the closer to the end of the book the worse they get, so i will select the best to put in the book.

I was going to rearrange this list, so similar things were together but then when i thought about it doing that would make the book more boring, because you would be doing similar things one after each other - thats not fun, so instead i have jumbled it up more and made sure the same things are together!
