I Love Earth!: Illustrating Picture Books for Early Learners
The diploma project opportunity, offered by the sponsor, involved creating illustrations for a series of picture books; for a set of poems based on the theme ‘I Love Earth!’ The books would be packaged as a learning kit for pre-school children in the age group of 2 to 4.
The design process involved research into the background and context of the project, inspiration-gathering, and explorations in illustration styles and treatments. The project offered the chance to not only experiment with illustrations, but also look at the interpretation of grand themes; such as earth and nature awareness for young children.
The initial stages involved gathering information on children’s books, studying pre-schooler interests, and analysing how picture books play a vital role in early learning. The final illustrations were created following streamlining and feedback, using collage with various textural elements as an innovative means of storytelling.
