505: final range

I'm not sure if I went about the project the right way, having focus on one product and then fitting the others around it, but I suppose that is quite common in regards to picture books. I feel that I have done a good job of making a concise range that interacts and is relevant to the main title and is of interest to an audience of children/ adults buying for children. As mentioned before I was keen to make a range that was considered and with products that work with one another.



 The range is:

  • The picture book / main title
  • E-book: it is now common to  have digital versions of books now, and it's not uncommon for children to be using tablets in a  fun or educational way.
  • Activity book:  a notebook for more child / parent engagement on rationalising experiences, but left quite open and can be used as they wish. Probably would be sold with the main title.
  • Stickers: could be used as reinforcement for the activity book or just an accompaniment to the main title
  • Clock: to be displayed in the child's bedroom/ somewhere in the home. This design could also be translated to a watch face. 
  • Bookmark: to be used with the book, or other books. Aimed at children, but could be used by anyone who reads! This was the product in the range I was least sure about because I'm not sure how many children of the age reading Too Much would be reading books large enough for a bookmark.
  • Prints: could be bought by adults for their own use or to be displayed in child's bedroom. Just prints of the illustrations without the accompanying text, which may make it more marketable to an adult audience, but would also lessen any confusion of out of context writing.
For the stickers, clock and bookmark I created simpler digital designs rather than paintings, as I was interested in how I could take those more complex images and make them suitable for processes that may require less colour information / detail/ things that are small so may not display detail so well. I am unsure of how successful this is though.


I feel that these are all relevant to the audience of child and parent.

I'm mostly pleased with the book, there is a lot I would have done differently particularly in regards to the image making but I am pleased with the idea and the making of a children's book with subtlety but hopefully enough excitement! I would like to see how a child would respond to this book.
