I am curious whether you guys have any opinions on the text amount and placement. Clearly the images are far from finished. I would LOVE any critiques.
I would say your text placement is fine, but we have to remember that this is going to be viewed on ipads by kids. It'd be better to have slightly larger text that has to be pressed to change (Not necessarily the image changing, but just the text), for readability sake.
Make sure to leave the characters and text on separate layers to allow for animating them later (or anything else that will move). Also, I agree the text should go a lot bigger. Like, 30pt and I think maybe leave the tracking and leading normal. (for everyone else, that's "Bookman Old style" font)
You can split the text onto multiple frames. For example, for the first image, you can use the first line with him grinding, then another line, while he looks up and the rope pulls tight, then the last line, and hes being dragged across the floor. We gotta make that cow swingable, and the lady, you can split up into two, with one of her looking over her shoulder or something.
