Graphic Design Project: Children's Book Creation (6-10 Pages)
Objective:
In this collaborative project, you will design and illustrate a fully realized children’s book. This assignment challenges you to combine storytelling, design, typography, and illustration into a polished final product suitable for a young audience. You may work solo or in a group of up to three students.
Concept Development:
Brainstorm ideas as a group or individually.
Submit a one-page proposal including:
Target age range
Summary of the story (beginning, middle, end)
Main characters
Visual style inspiration/mood board
Story & Layout Planning:
Finalize script (story text for each page).
Create thumbnail sketches of all pages (rough layout and placement of text/illustrations).
Determine font choices and color palette.
Setting, where does the story take Place?
Who are/is the main character?
What is the conflict? What is the journey of the characters?
What is the resolution or how does the story end? Childrens books almost always have a learning moment.
A story that is closest to the truth is the most relevant and belivable.
