Great lies to tell small kids

One direction for our project we found is parents telling lies to their children. Although we have found a book that already aims at this specific audience, it is called 'Great lies to tell small kids' and is by Andy Riley.

Although we all really like this idea and agree that we want to produce something that is just as fun and light hearted, it has obviously already been done before. We thought about this and decided to turn the tables, producing something that aims at children telling lies to their parents.

Communication is a Virus, 'Tell a lie convincingly'

Definition of a lie:
A lie (also called prevarication, falsehood) is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement, especially with the intention to deceive others.

To lie is to state something with disregard to the truth with the intention that people will accept the statement as truth.

A liar is a person who is lying, who has previously lied, or who tends by nature to lie repeatedly - even when not necessary.

Squares

Just a few illustrations I have found relating to squares and pixels that I want to use to help develop my illustration for the back of my hot dog fold book for the book fair.

To kick off my designs I started by using the ambigram generator to get an idea of the general anatomy of the words and phrases that I intended to create.

My kind of type...

Take a look...

 

Reverse...

Although these ambigrams are aesthetically horrible to look at, they have given me a starting point to develop my three designs.

Ambigrams

I found a couple of websites that included an automatic ambigram generator. I experimented with their effectiveness with firstly trying my name.
