Development of series of books for children: the first experience of team work
Abstract
The reason for writing of the article was the first experience of team work in the publishing project “SlovOpys” (the author of the project – Ruslana Kostur). The project objective is to develop a series of book editions for the children of preschool and primary school age in order to promote the Ukrainian language ordered by the publishing center “ACCA”. It was decided to develop a series of books with stickers, on which the rarely used words in the Ukrainian language are written and illustrated. The series was called “Decorate your life with the Ukrainian language”. The students-publishers and the students-advertisers were involved into development of this project.
Children's editions in all their genre and typological diversity are a powerful tool for education, development and teaching of young generations, performing important communicative and regulatory functions in the society. The book repertoire for different sections of the population is formed by the publishers which produce printed products into the world. Therefore, the effectiveness of young reader's acquisition of the edition’s content, correct understanding and perception of the information provided depend on the publishers. Unfortunately, after analyzing contemporary printed products, it is necessary to state the imperfection of its thematic structure and disharmony of content and illustrative components. The main reason for such shortcomings is the ill-considered concept of a printed product. In order to develop a high-quality children's edition that could meet the needs of the recipient, one needs to determine its readership interests. This is the significance of this study.
The objective of the article is to analyze the experience of team work on development of the concept of a serial edition for children, in particular, to define the stages of this work.
