The Three Pigs

This unique story merges many fairytales and takes them in and out of their books. All to help get away from the big bad wolf, as they all merge into one page and basically live a happily ever after. 

Lines & Texture: The textures of the story are constantly changing. At the beginning it is more like a story like with the lines dark and noticeable. Then we get to the part where the Wolf blows the first pig out of the page and has a more realistic texture and the lines are softer as well. Next the texture and lines become more cartoon and appealing to a toddler with the lines made in crayons or color pencil. Then the texture completely disappears and turns black and white looking like it was made with pencil.

Composition: All the elements compliment the story well as the pigs are going in and out of certain stories. The textures show the pigs 3d and realistic when they are out of the pages and blend with whatever texture the different stories they enter are. In the end all the characters end up with the same textures, lines, and color scheme as well as in the same page.

Illustrations: The illustrations played a major part in the entire story as the pigs keep jumping into the different stories. They end up blending with certain styles of the each story they enter with the rest of the characters also blending when they leave their pages.

Style: The language and the illustrations come together for an upper elementary audience. The story jumps from 1st to 3rd person throughout the story to add different affects of each story line.
