BrainStorming 7!!!

This “Storybook” assignment is a group project, which consists of 3 persons. It’s a difficult and painful process for this “brainstorming”. My group faces a lot of problems deciding on the topic and the characters to use.
Despite all these challenges, we still come up with some ideas for the story first, before fixing the type of characters to use. Our approach is to design the characters using hand-drawn and to come up with a rough idea for the storyline.
But before all that, we are supposed to come up with the “design document” and the layout of the book before “all drawings” are drawn. Thus, I come up with a “rough” design document, with the help from my lecturer, Julian; as most of the terms used in the “Sample design document” are too “alien” for me. Ha-ha!
Last but not least, the proposed designs for the characters are, to use “mushrooms”. The story will evolve around a “mushroom” character, who is always bullied by his classmates. But until something happen, then they become friends. This story is to voice out the voices of the “bullied” ones, but at the same time, trying to show that someone “different” from others ought not to be bullied, as he/she may turn out to be a very nice person. “Never judge a person by his/her looks!”
