We had our briefing with Jack Lever,the Author of Quibble. He has asked us to create a Book Cover (E Book Version), Postcard as part of advertising as well as the standard postcards, A Webpage, A Facebook Ad and a possible Bookmark.
A scene from out of the book with colours that flowed from is original book cover was his inital idea of how things could look. Some places that are mentioned in the book are real places and not made up. I do think this is a good start but im also gooing to look at alternative ways i could create something interesting.
This is the Website he has, my webpage has to be of 1024 x 768 px, and it has to be able to work with my final design.
The book cover dimensions are 21.6 x 14 x 1.8 cm, to create an Ebook Version for the use on the internet just the front cover is used and i will only need the dimensions of 21.6 x 14 cm.
Facebook ad has to work at 110px x 80px
Above is a brief description of what is needed to complete a facebook ad.
To create a postcard the dimensions need to be of standard size, this would be 105mm x 148mm.
Another part of the brief is to look at creating a bookmark as this would be great advertising material.The dimensions ive found this to be are 40mm x 150mm.
Characters
Throught the book Mythology was mentioned alot, Alot of the characters are Mythical Gods and creatures. I think these are an inportant part of the book and looking into it further as well has time travel and things like The Black Whole will hopefully help in toward my final design.
Thoth known as the moon god, inventor of spoken and written language,astronomy, geometry and medicine.
He was also a measurer and recorder of time and sometimes depicted in pictures with a head of an ibis.He was highly worshiped in ancient Egyptian Scribes. In the book he too was an important hightly regarded man but in a modern setting.
Ma'at was the goddess of Truth, Balance and Order, she was said to be the wife of Thoth.
A Ostrich feather is the symbol of Ma'at and she is pictured either in a seated position or standing. When the dead are said to be judged its the decision of Ma'at feather It is weighed against their hearts and if their hearts where as light as Ma'at's feather then they would be granted eternal life in The Duat, if they where heavy their souls where consumed by Ammut. In the book she works in PULPI (Pan Universal Legislative Policy Inspectorate) same workplace as Thoth and they had been lovers.
Chalchiuhtlicue means "She who wears a Jade Skirt". She was known as the Aztec Goddess of Water and Fertility. In the book she has effects men in a intimate way just by touch and being in her presence.

He is crafty sneaky and malicious, Because of all the malicious things he did and bringing death upon Baldur and is now trap in ecternal punishment. In the book he pulls tricks to mislead Quibble etc along the way in his adventures as he needs to use Don Oxford to gain entry back into his universe which he was banished from. He came to a tragic end in the book.In the book he was also called Finbog Farbautisson an Icelandic Diplomat.
