Those with developmental disabilities are different, yes, but never less. During the beginning stages of the logo, it was thought to have the whole character in the logo. When the character design had a very unique hat, it became apparent that this would be a creative way to symbolize the character Bixy. This hat became the image of the logo. Having the hat of the main character was thought to show that when one sees this hat, one knows that this is Bixy. The whole character is not needed, only the hat is. It was simple and became the final logo. The prototype of a children’s book starts off with a storyboard. The storyboard is created to show the story to be told, and helps to provide a way to think out illustrations that would go with the words of the story. After creating the storyboard with the sketched out illustrations and the storyline, it is time to move on to a medium fidelity prototype. First creating the story and figuring out what illustrations one will need. Once the illustrations are figured out, it is time for that love of drawing to come in handy. Here drawing after drawing will be created to go with each page of the book. The medium fidelity prototype figures out where the lines of the story will go on each page and where the newly drawn illustrations will be on those pages as well. After maneuvering the placement of the illustrations and the copy, it is time to move on to the final stage: creating illustrations with vibrant colors on the computer, or scanning in the fully colored illustrations to the computer to then position each page of the book. This final stage brings the book to life and starts to tell the story one wishes to tell. Though this part takes the longest, it is the most crucial part of the children’s book.
