Project Overview

Illustrator Class Project

Approach

This project was created as part of an illustration class assignment to design a book cover incorporating illustration skills. The main challenge was adjusting the level of visual detail to suit the target age group. Since the book was intended for early elementary school students, I carefully balanced simplicity and clarity while avoiding overly complex elements. This project marked an important turning point for me, helping me discover my passion for children’s illustration and influencing my current work in educational content creation.
