BLEED MARKS

I think the hardest part of this project was just trying to get the bleed marks on the 13 X 19 place into document correct! The difference was so slight, but did so much damage!

Book Jackets

The progression of book jackets was really interesting. Not a whole lot changed between versions, but even the slightest adjustments seemed to have impact!

Revisions

These are looking like my favorite spreads so far. Trying to tie everything together, and using red for a little pop!

A bump in the road

It appears all my indesign files have mysteriously disappeared. Meaning this is going to take a bit longer than it would have otherwise -_-

SPREADS!

Don Bluth

I'm gonna go with Brad Bird I think on this project, but I still think it's worth noting Don Bluth here on my blog at least.

First off, looking through the works Bluth has done, while many were less successful animated films at the time, they were definitely the movies that made up my childhood. Rock a Doodle, The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Anastasia, An American Tail, The list goes on and on!
What's even more interesting about his works, are how he came to making these films. Most were created after he left disney along with a bunch of animators who were unhappy with disney's subpar animations at the time. Disney sub par? I can't even imagine that, but I guess every company has to have there ups and downs!
