This is the first book I have studied as part of my case study on the author/illustrator Shaun Tan. Using the framework previously developed although I have decided not to use the last section as each had already been answered through the series of questions. This makes sense as it was a earlier chapter in Reading the Visual and was therefore a contributing factor towards the questions asked. This first exercise has involved only one particular image as my feelings are that when it comes to my own work I can use the set of questions to disseminate any works previously seen. These may help to solve issues as they arise, being aware of how I may tackle them is the most important factor. The notes taken are shown below, the aim is to conduct more of these studies on the work of Shaun Tan. Once a few more are done I can then compare them, hopefully any patterns or methods may become more evident. It may also show how different subject matters have been approached and why there suit that particular topic.

The contrast between the first and last images are in stark contrast in both the scale of images and the colours and overall tone of each piece as discussed in analysis.
The image above is an example of using borders and multiple images within the double spread. Tone, light and text are the main drivers in leading the eye through these images to get the narrative.
The images above show roughly the idea of the union jack having an influence on the overall composition of the work which is evident throughout the book and is discussed in the analysis.
