My client wanted to create a lavish picture book for her grandson's first birthday, depicting the family dog, Donar, and all the memories they have shared. From my client's script, I storyboarded, designed, and fully illustrated this charming 18 page cardboard book.
Designed & illustrated in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
