ASSIGNMENT 08 COMIC STRIP STORY & INITIAL LAYOUT
 |
For secret santa in my 10th grade year I got Heather, we didn't know how it could happen since we drew randomly, but I wasn't going to question it. Some people were a bit peeved about it, but whatever. I decided to pull a prank on her and have her open a box, then another, then a bag, and then another box before she could get her present. Unfortunately I couldnt find a small box to ft in the bag so I simplified my plan. She was pissed and she flips me off in the video I have. I believe I should post it on here sometime.

ASSIGNMENT 05: My Children's Book Story- Initial Layout
The King was grumpy and having a bad day.
Hoping to end his bad mood, the knights went out to find some company that would make the King laugh with glee.
All across the country, the King’s men searched, finding jesters, jokers, and bards. They even searched as far as across the bay!
One by one, the King saw through the line of people, looking unimpressed and bored. Things were looking bad, as far as the guards could see.
When the prankster first entered, he juggled cups and pots of tea. The King only yawned, too bored to yell.
Out went the prankster and in came the joker. He started a joke with a ‘knock, knock.’ But the King didn’t answer, instead he waved his hand and away the joker went.
Gone was the prankster, out was the joker, and next was the jester. In he bounced and fluttered, dancing like a buffoon while talking with his shell.
Scowl in place, the King never cracked a grin. So out went the jester, with the prankster and the joker. The King sat still when his nose caught a sweet scent!
The King sat straight up and smelled the air, his stomach grumbling at the sweet smell. Turning towards the guards he asked, “Where is that smell coming from?”
The guards looked at one another before shrugging their shoulders. “I don’t know.” “Neither do I!” “Nor I!” They shouted out in a hurry.
As the guards scrambled out, in search of the mysterious smell the last performer entered. With an extravagant bow before the King, he began to play and hum.
The bard’s music was soothing to the King; he didn’t feel as bad as he had. In fact, he was forgetting all about his fury.
As the King relaxed, the guards rushed back in, followed by a nervous baker.
The King looked upon the baker and his goods, hearing the rumbling in his tummy. “What can you do for me?” The King asked the baker who stood before him, holding a tray of breads and crackers.
“I-I have s-s-some b-bread here, if you’d l-like.” The baker replied nervously, holding the sweets. “They’re v-v-very yummy.”
The King looked onto the tray of sweets, feeling his tummy grumble and rumble.
He waved the baker over, as the bard continued to play. The closer the baker got, the louder the King’s tummy roared.
Shaking in fright the poor baker walked closer and closer to the grumpy King, hoping he wouldn’t be thrown out the castle in a tumble.
At last he reached the King, where he ate and ate and then he some more. The knights then knew, that they had scored.
Once full, the King cracked a smile and then he laughed and once again the kingdom was saved. Thanks to a baker and his tray of bread.

ASSIGNMENT 03: Short Story Through a Child's Eyes
I like cookies very much but my mommy tells me that I mustn't spoil my appetite. I'm smarter than I let her think because when she turns her back I’m quick to try and sneak some. But mom is smart too and she puts the cookies on top of the fridge. I’m lucky though, because my sisters are older and taller. But we still can’t reach the fridge no matter how much we jump and try. Then all of a sudden I get an idea from the t.v from what I watched on the Rugrats. I tell my older sister Amanda to kneel on the floor before telling my other sister Danielle to climb on top of her so that I can climb and reach the cookies. Just like Tommy, only Amanda has to be Chuckie and Danielle has to be Phil and Lil. So I climb on top of my sisters and I reach up to grab the jar and get some cookies for us. Hurridly I climb down and we eat hurryidly so that mom won’t know. We smile and high five for a job well done. Mom doesn’t know we keep having snacks and keeps yelling at Uncle John to stop eating our snacks. Its really funny cause he’s not, but he keeps getting in trouble for it. We smile because she doesn’t know its us. We wait for mom to leave the kitchen before we try and get more cookies. Amanda kneels down and Danielle is next to try and get some, but when I try I hear my mom and it scares me. So I stop and look and she’s watching us next to my Aunt Chrissy. She looks really mad and it scares me, so I don’t look at her. I’d rather watch my toes curl so I don’t have to see her look mad at me.
“Go to your room!” She yells at us and we run to our room before we sit on our beds and feel bad. We should have listened to mom when she said to stay out of the snacks. Mom comes in after a while and tells us we’re grounded for breaking the rules and we nod. We know we did bad, but the cookies were really good. Mom takes some toys away and tells us we have to stay in the room until dinner time, but we know tomorrow when we go to school that we’ll have cookies. Cause mom loves us and she tells us so when she leaves us notes in our lunches. Even when we do bad stuff she loves us. That’s why I love her.
So when she calls us to eat I tell her I'm sorry. She just smiles and tells me she knows and that next time I'll be in big trouble. Since mom has forgiven me I feel much better and I don't feel bad anymore. What's even better is I get to have my favorite food for dinner, TACOS! Yum!
