Silly Tim is a rhyming children’s book about internet safety that was published in 2022 by Blossom Spring Publishing. I was commissioned to create the visual identity of the story which included illustrating and designing the books layout.
Using the technique of line and wash, I wanted to stylise the book using traditional drawing techniques in contrast to the contemporary story line and era that the book is set in (modern day). This gave the book a sense of nostalgia whilst still being relevant. I also wanted the main character to be of mixed ethnicity as the demographic is under represented in children’s books currently.
