The project

USI illustrated A Tree for Me for Tasha-Nicole Terani. The project included the sketches, vector illustration files and front, back and full cover art.

Style

Minimal vector-style 2D with lots of white space.

Process

  1. Sketches
  2. Vector illustrations (Adobe Illustrator files)
  3. Front, back and full cover
  4. Print template

Every page was drawn by hand. The author approved the full storyboard before final art, and revisions were unlimited from sketch to final color.

Result

The book is out: A Tree for Me.

Tasha came back for a second book, A Flower For You (folder in archive).
