Illustrating a Children’s Book

In effectively illustrated children’s books, the following elements are considered:

·                       Illustrations support the text

·                       Varying the placement of the text throughout the book adds eye appeal (see the variations in the written text and illustration placement in the illustrations below).

As you decide how to combine illustrations and text in this assignment and others, note the illustration and text placement techniques shown here.

Now, think about the process of moving the written text and illustrations. How do you think changing text and illustration placement affects the overall interpretation of the text?
