This university assignment brief had the student pick an existing children's song or piece of literature and illustrate it. The Illustrations would then be sent off to be printed as a book in the student’s choice of stock.​​​

I had to re-write the story to fit a university assignment brief which only allowed 12 pages. I took into consideration the age group this book would be targeting. And even cut out some darker plot points from the original story that I deemed too sensitive to my intended audience. 

My Goals were:

  • Have the inclusion of rhymes, for ease of reading.

  • Mixing the right  imagery with dialogue

  • Rewriting the story, to lessened sensitive subject matter appropriate for age group.

  • Having the story narrated in the third person.

  • Friendly, playful font

Printing the pages out and laying them in front of me gave me a deeper perspective and helped me plan out and plot the dialog.

And finally having each page with my illustrations on them made it feel way more tangible than just working digitally.
