Written & illustrated by Zella Hunter
After my graphic design and video editing work on the Reading for Wildlife campaign, I worked with author and illustrator Zella Hunter on her children's character book about the wonder of trees. We all need to plant 17 trees!
The project has been about trying to successfully realise the author's vision, and to bring the text and drawings to life for young readers. The book has gone through many drafts and changes, with quite a few text alterations and format adjustments, as the author has received feedback in looking to get it published.
I have been involved the layout of text and images, page design for the end section of the book, and an ongoing dialogue with the writer with my input well received and often incorporated! I feel that my design and layout experience has really been appreciated and helped to create so many strong spreads, and to bring out the energy in the drawings and ideas. I look forward to working on the next book.
