Lattes published a selection of illustrations for a primary school children's textbook.
My job is to illustrate extracts of texts respecting the size of the layout, using cheerful palettes, inserting children with different characteristics among them.
In this project the chapters "Police" and "Horror". For each chapter an opening that respects the layout and summarises the concept of the chapter.
POLICE
Opening illustration
• Details, in this type of work it is important to be able to exploit even tiny spaces.
• Different characters for different stories, with various settings. In these details: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold John Le Carré, A Study in Scarlet Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The man of the port Cristina Cassar Scalia.
• Some sketches: The Mystery of the Villa delle Ginestre T.Percivale
HORROR
Opening illustration
• Frankenstein Mary Shelley
• Using a single palette helps make the page more enjoyable even if the subjects are from different stories. Mary Shelley + Stephen King, The wax museum Gastone Leroux
• Monsters in the night Mars Strandberg
• Dracula Bram Stoker
• The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Robert Louis Stevenson
