Leo’s Birthday Adventure Book Design
The design of our children's book, "Leo's Birthday Adventure" was somewhat of a challenge for various reasons. One of the issues was that some of Jean's paintings were smaller in proportion compared to the size of the book.
The solution to the sizing issue was to add details around the paintings. This is an example regarding the last pages of the book where we included miniature drawings surrounding Jean’s painting, “Leo's Birthday Cake”.
As the design of the final pages evolved, including a more colourful background in yellow, we realised, however, that it might be better if we kept it simple.
By adding colour, there was less need for the drawings around the illustration, and we also decided that red was more visually pleasing.
