FULL NAME: BAILEY FORT SCHOOL NAME: GEORGE BROWN SCHOOL OF DESIGN ENTRY CATEGORY: EDITORIAL DESIGN PROJECT RATIONALE A children’s book created as part of an editorial design class, “The Bewundering World of Bewilderbeests” is a fun read for young children, with silly poems, strange creatures, and rich illustrations—all things that captivate young audiences. The target audience includes children from the ages of 2–10. In order to make the reading experience more dynamic, the text was integrated into the illustrations in a manner that mimics the musicality of the poetry. The illustrations include whimsical creatures that would be intriguing for young readers, in a variety of different environments. My objective was to create a mesmerizing children’s book, generating all of the content— the concept, the words, and the illustrations—and ensuring that all of the elements work together in a dynamic way. Integrating the words and images in a whimsical style, with silly creature names, and bold illustrations, helped to make the whole much more than the sum of its parts. The illustration technique was a combination of hands-on and digital techniques, helping to add a depth and rich texture to all aspects of the work. Generating all aspects of the work was a very involved process, especially in ensuring all parts worked together in a way that would be fun for children. Words and images by Bailey Fort.
