Violet's Tale

Illustrated Picture Book

2022

Extended Project for school assignment: Self-author and illustrator a sequential narrative.

Violet's Tale

A wordless picture book about an alternate version of Little Red Riding Hood - where Violet is a little too trusting of her new rabbit friend, who leads her deeper into the forest and lets her encounter the big bad wolf.

Here is a few of the spreads from the book (not the full story). The book is a 26-page full colour illustrated story that was written and developed over the course of the semester (12 weeks).
