Coloring Book Project for Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children
Here is the plan for the coloring book. Page one is just text, so that is omitted here. The captions are provided so you have an idea of where to leave space on the page for them. You don't need to type or write them out, just provide the line drawing described. On the right you will see reference photos and in some cases, a rough outline Jeff worked on while communicating with the staff. You can create your own vision, though, as long as it fulfills what the staff has asked for.
Jeff was nice enough to draw out the first versions of the kids. The hospital staff has requested big pupils, cartoon-like, with calm, happy facial expressions, and a ponytail for the girl. They sent the reference pictures on the right of the look they are going for. EDIT: The staff has requested that the girl be drawn in a dress or tunic with leggings instead of the shirt/skirt combo for her street clothes.
Please note, on pages 7-12, the kids will be dressed in their hospital outfits instead of street clothes.
Draw graphics to fit into an 8 x 10 space (consider the room you must leave for captions as well, so not all images will fill up the entire space) and send 300dpi tiff files to gennypen@gmail.com. Our tentative deadline is April 3, though that can be extended.

Caption: When it is time for your procedure, your nurse will take you to the operating room and have you lie on a bed. It’s very bright in the operating room. The people in here may look funny since they will be wearing gowns, hats and masks. This is to keep away the germs.

Caption: Once your procedure is done, your doctor will stop giving you medicine and you will wake up slowly in the recovery room. Your nurse will be with you. They will ask how you feel using these faces.
I believe this is the actual face chart they use, so it will be on the page with whatever you draw.

Caption: Once the doctor says it is ok for you to go home, a nurse will take out your IV (the small straw taped to your arm) and you can get dressed in your own clothes. The nurse will talk to you and your caregiver about taking care of you at home, and then you’ll be ready to leave!
