/ Visual research /
To make my publication more interesting for my target audience I decided to illustrate on top of the athletes. These illustrations would describe the speed, nickname or the nationality of the athlete. Illustrator Jiro Bevis was a large influence for these illustrations as he often illustrates on top of photographs.

/ Image development /
The illustrations are supposed to give the publication a lighthearted feel making it more interesting and exciting for the target audience. I am covering the top 10 fastest runners on the planet and adding illustrations on top of them. These illustrations have been drawn using tracing paper and scanned in so colour can be applied digitally.

/ Website /
The website allows users to create similar illustrations to those in my publication. Users are given a random athlete which they can draw on top of using the paint palette provided. Once they are finished these illustrations can be uploaded to an online gallery. This website could be used to host competitions for the best ilustration submitted being awarded with the book plus other 100m goods.
I have also mocked up an app for the ipad. This would work in the same way as the website but allow users to turn the ipad sideways to get a full screen of the drawing surface. Creating an app for the ipad will also help advertise the book because of its popularity with people within my target audience.

/ Point of sale displays /
These are mock ups of POS displays which could be used to display my book in book stores such as Waterstones. I have also created a POS display to sell bookmarks which are often present on the counters of many book shops.

/ Facebook page /
Social networking is extremely popular with the age group I am targeting for my book. This means it is the perfect place to advertise the book, the website and competitions. with a chance of winning a prize. When a user likes the competition it appears on their friends newsfeed and therefore advertises your the company.
