Minimal Storybooks
CREATIVITY WITHIN CONSTRAINTS
What happens when illustrators choose to create constraints and work with them cleverly? This series of stories was illustrated in two colours – facilitating a more cost effective design while unfolding unseen visual styles. Black, the primary colour of the design, was manifested through distinctly fresh styles – Thin wiry lines, thick brush strokes, paper cutouts and doodles. Compositions were minimal and the essence of the story was captured through simple quick sketches. The stories from this set are Do and Don’t, Can and Can’t, This and That, Curly and Straight.
