This is the result of our making process of the Helper. We ended up with a full scale model, a character cardboard cut out and a poster. We also made some extra elements like a range of different felt fish to hand out to visitors of the exhibition and the rest of the little inventors.
We made a poster to go alongside the model for the Exhibition to help to bring together all aspects of the little inventors design. We used a range of blue tones and colourings that resembled the child's drawings. This added warmth and a more realistic aesthetic to the underwater model.
To go alongside the model, the little inventor drew a character who would operate the Helper. It was important we made this Character engaging and so we animated it, cut it out and made a stand to allow it to be presented well.
