The images below are my final designs for the V&A Illustration competition. I have decided to use bright colours combining simple shapes with intricate patterns. This style fits well with the audience the book is aimed at, The Just So Stories are based in Africa so I wanted to combine the African patterns and colours with a more western influence and I feel confident that I have achieved this.
I have added a gradient to the sky of the original paintings, I was unable to do this smoothly with paint and feel that this pulls the images together well.
The images would work well in a sequence with the illustrations from the other Just So Stories, and given time I would like to explore this.
