The Story of a Rice Grain

 

A picturebook project that I illustrated and designed as part of my Bachelor Degree at The National University of Arts in Bucharest.

Context:

The Story of a Rice Grain is a picturebook for children around 5-8 years old. The story is written by Adina Popescu and the project was coordinated by dr.conf.univ. Stela Lie and asist. dr. Giulia Crețulescu.

Details:

The story follows the main character, The Rice Grain, into a self discovery journey around the world. The project had 3 important stages that I worked on: the illustrations, the book design and creating the book as an object. This book brought together all the skills I’ve developed in the three years of university studies.

Technique:

Adobe Photoshop editing and Adobe InDesign for the book and cover layout. The book format is 20/26 cm, inkjet print on 120gsm Pergraphica Natural Smooth paper. The printing and binding of the book was done at Fabrik Media. The illustration are 36/48 cm gouache paintings.
