Why did you make this work:
My idea was to produce a vibrant and playful story using double 'o' words. The 'OO' letters were incorporated within the illustration to encourage children to engage with both words and pictures together. It's a celebration of both the sound and shape of words, telling the story of a day starting with the cock-a-doodle-doo of a rooster through to the hoot of the owl at bedtime.

How was the illustration used:
In a 40 page hardback picture book. 241 x 241mm

How did you make this work:
The concept dictated the approach and it needed to be carefully designed with clear images that communicated the meaning of each word, whilst also showing a larger story about a trip to the zoo. The typography and illustrations were created with hand cut rubber stamps, stencils, children's blow pens, acrylic paint and additional pencil work which were all composited digitally.
