Design Rationale

This laugh out loud and extremely fun story allowed for playful fonts and bold colours to be used in a purposeful way. The cover lenticular panel provided the ideal platform to add humour and convey the cartoon-like elements within, while the title within the speech bubble pushes the conversational-style narrative idea. The internals were delightful to design, utilising the wider format to spread out the content and manipulating fonts to great effect. The introduction of a second ink enhanced the playfulness of the book, not only setting it apart from the competition, but bringing it to life even further.
