Children’s books!!

I am quite excited to take on this next brief of designing a children’s book. I studied child language acquisition for my English A level where we created a book and am looking at becoming a primary school teacher so I feel this brief is quite relevant for me. I also enjoy looking at beautifully illustrated (or humorous) children’s books.

Some of my favourite children’s books are:

I have discovered from my favourites that I appreciate the illustrated designs more.


 

Here are some children’s books that I found on Pinterest that I like the look of:

I like the simplistic design of the first and third books the most. I think I will want my designs to be relatively simple and just using a good colour scheme like these too. I feel like you could create a book like the ‘Little Owl Lost’ using a collage which might look quite nice. I am not sure if my drawing abilities are up to scratch to create a book that is as beautiful as ‘The Great Paper Caper’.
