Illustrative Styles


To look at other styles of tunnel books, I decided to make a mood board on Pinterest. The board here is full of modern and old styles of tunnel books, so I started to look into it with more depth. The older styled book had a lot of painting-like art included, and incredible detail. I liked these styles, but I decided to look at more modern designs.

With some Googling, I found some more modern designs that were quite intricate in their own way. For instance, this fold out street of houses, and the woods behind. It's simple but very effective.

The next series I found I really love. This is a series of tunnel books by the same artist. It's very minimalistic with the colours and art, which I really like. You can figure out what's going on with the art and characters, and even make up your own story. The colours also give the books amazing depth, and I really love it.

Bearing this in mind, I started to sketch my own 'simple' design of the story I was using. I used simple colours and purposely didn't include any detail like the little girl's expression, etc.

I also did a prototype thats very rough, but it was good to get a feel of how much I'd need to include and how to layout the design.
