Children's Books

Based on a suggestion made by Annie in our tutorial, we decided to use a book as a visual for Lola to decided to go to the park as opposed to her seeing a park on TV. I think this works slightly better with the new night time scenes as a "child" watching TV so late at night is less believable than her reading a book before bed.
Luckily I have a library card for the local library so I went down and perused the children's book looking for something good.




Though as there seemed to be no particular system to the books I asked the librarian for help finding a book that had a swing or park in it.



The latter picture I thought would work the best as the main image that makes Lola want to go to the park,  I could just imagine her trailing her finger along the path and stopping excitedly at the picture of the swings. It also just happened the the text on the page fit perfectly with what could be going round in Lola's head
As well as having this books I thought it would be more realistic to have a few more in the background, either spread out on the floor or around her. 



I picked these books as I felt the titles foreshadowed the events to come. I then left the slightly more kiddish section and picked a few books that were at a slightly less picture based and rhyming level. I picked girly/quirky titled books which I thought would help reflect Lola's personality.
