Technical Instructions for Designer: Handcrafted Kids’ Activity Book
Project Overview:
We are creating an activity book for small children aged 2-5, focusing on drawing with foot and handprints. The book will contain 40 inspirational images along with instructions on how to create them. The overall style should be very handcrafted, resembling genuine stamped kids’ feet and hands. The drawings should look as if they were truly made by children, avoiding any digitalized or overly polished appearance.

Key Requirements:

Handcrafted Appearance:

The images must look hand-drawn, simulating actual stamped foot and handprints.
Avoid using any digital tools or templates for elements like eyes or other features. Everything should be drawn manually.
Uniform Style:

Ensure the book has a consistent, cohesive look throughout.
Maintain a similar artistic style across all 40 images.
Backgrounds:

Keep the backgrounds simple and uncluttered.
Backgrounds should complement the main objects without overpowering them.
The background elements should be relevant to the object in the drawing.
Materials and Medium:

Use traditional art supplies such as pencils, markers, crayons, and watercolors to create the images.
Scan the hand-drawn images at a high resolution to maintain the quality for printing.
Color Palette:

Use bright and inviting colors that appeal to young children.
Ensure that the colors are consistent and harmonious throughout the book.
Instructions:

Each image should include clear, easy-to-follow instructions.
The instructions should be presented in a child-friendly manner, simple enough for parents to guide their children.
File Specifications:

Provide high-resolution scans of all the drawings (at least 300 DPI).
Deliver the files in a common format (JPEG or PNG).
Ensure that the files are organized and labeled clearly according to the order they will appear in the book.
Submission:

Include all 40 completed images along with the instructions.
Ensure that each drawing adheres to the handcrafted and cohesive style as outlined.
