Found this...

This is really just a quick post, meant especially for the other members of my group.

I found this http://www.boneart.co.nz/meanings.htm website, which should be very useful. It has all the meanings behind the symbols. I think we could very easily incorporate a lot of this information.

And now, I should probably actually blog a bit.

Because I've got previous experience with InDesign, the creation of the book has largely fallen to me. I don't really mind though; it's been a while since I used the program, and its pretty fun.

We've also got pretty rough designs for most of the characters now, and have loosely each been assigned characters to develop further; pretty much the ones that we've been the most successful at getting to a finished stage already.

I've got the boatman, the queen, and the devil. We've finally got the devil to a level where we're all pretty much in agreement about him. We did a bit of research into maori devils (or Taniwha, which we're now referring to him as) and that helped a lot to take him in the right direction.

I've also spent the last half hour looking up maori words to help with naming our characters. So now, instead of referring to our hero as simply 'the luck child' we can call him Angitu which means lucky or successful.
