Conceptual redesign of book dust jacket for children’s book, Matilda.
The book jacket illustration highlights the bright, magical nature of Matilda as she navigates her young life filled with cruel adults with pranks, and her love of learning. The pages behind the character illustration and Matilda standing on a stack of books indicate Matilda’s strong desire to write her own story and pave her own path. The secondary illustrations in the background contain imagery of the various pranks and instances that happen with Trunchbull, the evil principal at Matilda’s school. They are shaded in a pencil texture, matching the theme of Matilda writing her own story.
