activities page ideas thoughts and opinions

After producing the main final spreads I was then able to consider and focus on the activity pages that  are connected to both of the spreads. By using the research that i had conducted earlier in the module, i then looked at this further exploring the ideas.

My ideas led me to focus on the idea of creating some thing that would allow the user to be creative themselves and another sheet that made them think.

Some possible ways in which this could be achieved could be...

• Drawing onto a egg - relating back to the egg shortage helping soldiers out 
• a food miles page - shows where the food came from (children have to guess)
• A word search (allows children to find the items either to do with the war or the recipe)
• A maze - this would include various illustrations to do with the recipe children would have to find the items
• Spot the difference - two drawings of a kitchen from WW1 spot the difference.

Once the ideas for each were laid out I then created a few quick thumbnails before asking for the opinions of others to which they believed would be best suited.

The majority of people suggested that for the eggless sponge page a Egg decoration would be a nice idea as it would allow the children to be creative and show originality. For the other page they said that either a word search or food miles page would look good. 

Using these decisions I was able to come up with the concepts for both spread activity pages opting for the egg decoration and word search ideas.
