Design Rationale

The design brief was to bring the successful Billie B Brown early-reader series to a younger age group through a hardcover picture book format. The new series focuses on the joy of imaginative play, which we achieved by designing age-appropriate logos, typography and the incredible die-cut cover.

The internals are designed to move around the busy kindergarten location, with speech bubbles and emphasis typography. The design and layout centers around Billie’s movement from reality to her imagination and back
