This is my mood board for the story poster. This Haiku reminds me of the feeling of mutual help and warmth, so the main colour of my mood board is yellow. To reflect the warmth of yellow, I choose the blue colour as well. Therefore, the main colours of my poster will be yellow and blue.

My story is about caring for people with depression. With an increasing number of people living with mental health problems in our society, we should treat each other with kindness, whether as friends or strangers.

I hope that after watching my story, everyone can show kindness to people with depression. Sometimes a little help can have amazing benefits for them.

I wanted to have three characters in my story, and one of them is a person who is depressed. However, with his friends' companion, he becomes happy in the end. My story wants to shows the power of friends. With this in mind, I made a rough draft in my notebook.

Then, I started work it on the "Sketchbook" app on my ipad.

I created many layers for one page, then combined them when I finished one page.

In the process, I think it is essential to plan each cartoon's content in my head. I only have a rough idea before I start drawing the draft, which leads to the situation that I end up with one less cartoon. Therefore, I think it would be good for the efficiency and the continuity of the story to give us more options for structural sub-shots to make improvements based on the new electrons.
