Busy Ben Book (Finished)

I have created the front and back cover for Busy Ben's first book, Recycling Fun!

Front Cover

Back cover

I have now completed the book, after having a lot of problems when trying to print the book out.

eBook website - Shop Page

I have added in another page on my Busy Ben website, which provides images of merchandise that I am selling.

I have decided to make a website for my audience to interact more with my product. Firstly I was going to create an advert for my book, but the audience is not able to interact with an advertisement. So I decided to make an eBook, where the audience is able to go on to the web and view my book, page by page.

Busy Ben - Recycling Fun!

I have completed 12 pages for my first book, Busy Ben: Recycling Fun!

Over the period of about a week, I was able to create and modify the pages to exactly how I wanted them to look like. I only had one problem, which was scaling the images down, so that they could fit on my website.

Characters

I have finalised my main character and I have also created three characters.

Main character: Busy Ben

The mother of Ben (Two dress colours to choose from)

Eddy

Tiffany

All of these characters will be featured within my books.

Charlie Chin - first adapted Idea

This Charlie Chin and he is 5 years old, he has also just started school.

Starting school means he will be coming across several new and exciting experiences, for example, Recycling, Keeping Healthy and learning the ways of life.

This idea isn't my final adaptation, as I have been informed that the name and the look of the character can be seen as politically incorrect.

Main character - Charlie Chin..

I have drew up an idea which I think will work in a story. His name is Charlie Chin!

This is a basic drawing of Charlie Chin, I am going to be adapting him so that he's a lot neater, also I am going to be changing his hands and feet.
