Entry Description

Let’s Create an Exhibition with a Boy Named Cai
(published November 2013)
This adventurous story book, presented in a small
landscape format with a glossy flexi-bound cover, is
inspired by the popular Chinese legend Peach Blossom
Spring. Incorporating influences from Chinese ink wash
paintings, the uncoated vellum internals were selected to
give the digitally-drawn watercolour illustrations a tactile
finish. In line with the hand-drawn aesthetic, a sketch
typeface was selected along with graphic elements of a
pin-board, creating a playful learning experience for
children as they discover more about each artwork
featured in the story and the concept of creating their
own exhibition.
