Ever had the feeling that something is off about your illustration, but not quite sure what? We've all been there! Sometimes it helps to get another point of view. Every month, we'll be taking submissions from our students and demonstrating how to improve.
This is your chance to see how a pro would do it!
This month, you will design the front cover of a book about Godzilla for children. Be creative, have fun, and come up with something unexpected. Remember, that story is king! Any size of illustration will work, but remember that this is for the cover of a children’s book. Have fun designing the book title. Upload your finished illustration to the forum by June 1st, 2024.
HELPFUL COURSES:
For this prompt, you will create an interesting visual story that fits the text provided in the prompt. Ask as many questions as possible to develop story ideas. These could include what kind of food truck it is, what kind of being “she” is, what planet it’s on, why her customers love it, what time of day it is, how many people or animals or creatures are there, is the food running out or abundant, what time of year it is, is there one customer who hated it? Your illustration can include little side stories but maintain one main focal point. Your finished illustration can use any format. Upload your finished illustration to the forum by July 1st, 2024.
HELPFUL COURSES:
This is a chance for you to tell a visual story well beyond the prompt! Don’t get tempted to try to illustrate too many concepts in your image. Write a creative story within the prompt. Try to write a story that is funny, sad, exciting, etc. Here’s an example: The family is sitting down to a dinner feast on a huge table full of ice cream sundaes, all kinds of candy, donuts, cotton candy, cookies, cakes, cup cakes, brownies, pies, etc. Your finished illustration can use any format. Upload your finished illustration to the forum by August 1st, 2024.
