Pigeon English Website Proposal Kerrie Wang
Project Statement Project Description:
Summary:
Target Audience:
Armed with a pair of camouflage binoculars and detective techniques absorbed from television shows like CSI, Harri and his best friend, Dean, plot to bring the perpetrator to justice. They gather evidence—fingerprints lifted from windows with tape, a wallet stained with blood—and lay traps to flush out the murderer. But nothing can prepare them for what happens when a criminal feels you closing in on him. Recently emigrated from Ghana with his sister and mother to London’s enormous housing projects, Harri is pure curiosity and ebullience—obsessed with gummy candy, a friend to the pigeon who visits his balcony, quite possibly the fastest runner in his school, and clearly also fast on the trail of a murderer.
To create a website to promote the book. Using the book cover and the elements in the book to extend the concept of the design, such as color, typeface, patterns, and graphics…etc.
Since this is a story about murder, it fits in the age of 16 and above.
Purpose:
The purpose of the project is to create a website for the readers to search and navigate information about the book. At the same time, there will be promotions about the author since this is the first novel he wrote. The website will provide links to purchase the book and links to the author’s website and social media.
Obstacles: Since the there are not enough elements on the book cover for a full design, we need to create new materials but also retain to the original design concept.
Key Benefits:
The main idea is to promote both the book and the author through the website.
Style and Tone:
Will use vivid colors and some geometric shapes to design the website.
Media: Website
Lying in front of Harrison Opuku is a body, the body of one of his classmates, a boy known for his crazy basketball skills, who seems to have been murdered for his dinner.
Told in Harri's infectious voice and multicultural slang, Pigeon English follows in the tradition of our great novels of friendship and adventure, as Harri finds wonder, mystery, and danger in his new, ever-expanding world.
