Solution

The overall design and illustration are meant to feel warm and comforting. With rounded, soft typography, bright colors, and wholesome characters.

  • Characters are designed to look familiar, safe, and trusting, so that everyone is able to relate and identify with them.

  • The overall illustration style is very cheery and friendly, with a vibrant color scheme, floral motifs, lively backgrounds, and characters.

  • The typography takes on a handwritten look, making the story more approachable for children while also maintaining its legibility.
