Research in Children’s Books
Research into Children’s Books
Ok, so I really really want to become a children’s illustrator as I love the energy kids get when they read their favourite character in a book. So, I thought I better do a little research into this topic so I got the following books out of the library:
The Bloomsbury Guide to Creating Illustrated Children’s Books – Desdemona McCannon, Sue Thorton and Yadzia Williams
Children’s Picture Books; the art of visual storytelling – Martin Salisbury and Morag Style
Illustrating Children’s Books – Martin Ursell
I am going to analyse these books and show what I found helpful from them. I also took out the following books:
Charles Harper’s Birds and Words
ABC’s – Charley Harper
I found these illustrations really interesting as at first glance I thought they are colourful yet they are quite minimalistic and I would have personally designed them for children. Further discussion will be done on it’s own post.
