An opportunity for one of our\u00a0Children’s\u00a0Illustration Students….<\/p>\n
—————————————————–<\/p>\n
In summary, my eldest daughter – herself only 12 – has written a series of short rhyming stories ostensibly to entertain her younger sister and cousins.\u00a0 These stories are genuinely entertaining – I am not an over-indulgent parent!-\u00a0and\u00a0feature as their main characters 3 sibling monkeys.<\/p>\n
The aim of the stories is to entertain but also each contains a deeper message around appropriate\u00a0behaviour in common domestic situations – entertaining and educational.<\/p>\n
We would like to enhance the experience for the reader by adding illustrations to bring alive both character and scene.\u00a0 There are 5 stories\u00a0in her collection and each one contains\u00a0between four\u00a0and six distinct scenes that would require illustration.<\/p>\n
I am interested to hear from any student that would like the challenge of brigning the characters to life (my daughter has a view of how she wants her characters to look) and in so doing create a compelling visual accompaniment to her text.\u00a0 I envisage we would provide a brief to interested parties for them to create a single illustration from which we would select a winning\u00a0example and commission the artist – for a fee – to complete the\u00a0series.<\/p>\n
My hope is that this opportunity would appeal particularly to students engaged on your children’s book illustration course but I am happy to hear from anyone at the college.<\/p>\n
We live in the North West of England but the geography is not an insurmountable issue and\u00a0electronic communications are a great help of course.<\/p>\n
