How To Get People To Read More Research

My first role within the group was to research bookmarks to create a design for our own books they would receive when hey follow the wall and they complete the story when they get to the library. So here is my research i did for the bookmarks.

I likes this book mark due to the clip you can put onto the front of the cover as you cant always see the design of the bookmark. I like how you can keep the bookmark where it is as i tend to lose mine as i out them down and then loose then. So this seems like a good invention for me.

I liked this one as you have seen faces before you i have never seen tales or the pole sticking up out of the book. I think if we was doing an underwater story this would have been very appropriate. And also they are quite filmsey for a young children's book as they will just chuck it around it will bend and get ripped.

I liked these character which would be good as these are characters from the story i like the fact they are reading books too and you can clip them on the page rather than just slotting it in. The colours are very bright like what we are aiming for in our project.

This is an example of a bookmark using a different material which it would be very appropriate for an older target audience although the sharp edges and toughness of the metal would probably hurt the child. Although, i do think this is a very good alternative material as it wouldn't be as destructed as easily.

I like this was a unique bookmark as normally they are long & straight bu this takes up a large amount of the page across the top rather than downwards. The drawing is very simple but effective. And i like how it has just framing the title of the book. Although this maybe not be true for the position throughout the book, unless the book is designed for the bookmark.

 

This is a clever idea of having a front of the bear on one side and the back on the other. The shading shows a very realistic 3d effect the tale and the wings almost look like they are coming off the back, like they are separate.

This is my favourite i love the little worm. He is the bookworm,  like how he looks as though he is sliding through pages, although this would not be fit for purpose due then it would be on multiple pages and therefore not fulfilling its function.

When i seen this i thought this was very cute and very appropriate then i realised that reading educationally is not about the parent reading to the child its about the child reading with the parents help and therefore wouldn't just fall asleep on a page. I think if we do add text onto the bookmarks this will be a good thing to think about.

These characters are simple like ours and i like how they can overlap the page too rather than just slipping in.

This are very appropriate and i think if the characters where not digitally created then we should definitely go for a more creative different material on the bookmarks although this would not fit with the project so far so therefore would not be working as a group and the work would not match. But i also like the use of the feet and the head so you can open it up at either side but still close due to the thin string joining them together.

Then we had a rehink of what else we could do because we didn't have enough tasks for everyone. So i came up with the Star Chart/Reading Chart. When i started the research for this they was all so poorly designed and didn't know where to start. So i started to think about praise they need to move upwards to show they are getting better. And the best way would be through stickers to show them they are doing well as they learn from praise and receiving something for that good work. 

This is my research for the reading/star chart as they wasn't much on the internet for the design of star charts. This is the aim of a star chart to put stickers and fill the whole thing up and receive a bigger prize when you have filled the whole chart up.

 I like the idea of using different stickers so they can choose different ones that they want. I like the different shapes used in this as well.
