1) The Three Little Pigs Visual Style- Bright colors, textured, cartoon, Hand drawnLayout of text and images- Images are at a large scale that cover most of the page, text is presented always at the top of the pages. The amount of the writing that is consisting in the book is between single lines to an entire paragraph. Images cover at least ¾ of a page, however there some pages which contain a large scale of another images with no text at all which designers use to continue a follow of a story and make it link to the text from the other pages. Fonts and text per page- Font is presented in a serif, text is a large scale, text per page is either a single line of words or mostly consist of a paragraph as the author goes into the story in a lot of detail.Author- Patricia Seibert Publish- “Brighter Child” Book Company Illustrated- Horacio Elena No. Pages and page size- 32 pages, 20.3cm high and 20.3cm wide

2) The Hungry Caterpillar Visual Style- The designer for this book follows a different style to other children’s book illustration, they kept to the same design feature. The book is a pop out featured book which can interact with the viewer within the story. The images are all hand drawn again and are illustrated so that it could be easy for be drawn by a child. The designer also usages a texture technique to make it stand out. Layout of text and images- In this book they use both pages on each turn to tell all content. The text is presented above both pages and the images are always covering most of the rest of the pages. In some pages when the author is telling us what sort of food products that the caterpillar is eating, the text is a lined up with the image. For example, “One piece of chocolate cake” this is above the large scale illustration of the chocolate cake. Fonts and text per page- They also use of serif for the style of fonts for this story, however again they did not mention the type of font that they used. However, the text presented on the top of all of the pages are all in relation to the main character of the story. Every turn of the page the caterpillars eats more and more food products, at first he eats stuff but he is tiny and the then the text is also tiny, the more and more the caterpillar eats the larger the scale of text.

3) Curious George Visual Style- This designer uses hand drawn to scale out the images, they use a simple plain white background so that it is easier to see from the viewer’s point of view. They use a bright color in all images and use different use of colors for tone and shading making the look of the illustrations look more alive than just a simple image of the paper. Layout of text and images- There is always a picture on every turn of the page, some are a large scale in which covers most of the entire page, sometimes used to describing a setting, character or content in general, However the artist has some pages where the images is split into two to three smaller images, in which are all related to each other and the text. Fonts and text per page- I do not know the exact font that the publisher used for ‘Curious George’, but if I was comparing the font to a font that we used in office applications then it is similar to Times New Roman as it has a very similar serif. The text is formed in a similar layout to a poem, with a large scale of the font making it easier for the reader for all ages. Author- H.A.
