My project will be (2D) book of a fairy tales (4-6pages) based on the oriental traditions and style The target market for this series of books will be  children aged 5-10 years. I will also print 3D physical version of this book   .


MEASURABLE

This project is measurable because I will know it is completed when I have book  (2D) , physical book (3D).


ACHIEVABLE

This project is achievable if I will be systematic. I think I will be able to complete this project on time.

    Your timescale needs a bit more detail, week 7 has nothing and the other weeks seem a bit vague. Remember what I said about getting in touch with the printers about how long it may take to produce a hard copy book - this should also be factored into your plan.

    May I make a suggestion about the title? I think it is a bit long - could you shorten it to the ;The Daughter and The Dragon'?

It brings wealth and good fortune and can shift into human form if necessary.  In Chinese legends dragons are linked with the water element and in the artwork they are often accompanied by a water source or clouds.  Dragons can be of any colour and in form it is similar to a serpent with a head made up of parts of fishes, snakes, and lizards, with carnivorous teeth and bird claws.  The East Asian dragon, as it is also called is wingless in comparison to its European counterpart.  The eminence of dragon in China means that they are represented in all traditional art forms such as embroidery, painting, sculpture, porce
