I started off by writing the book, it changed a lot throughout the process but I thought writing would be best to get out of the way first. I then sketched out a basic outline for each page and vectorized them in illustrator. After that I put the layers in photoshop and started to add textures in, my inspiration for this was Eric Carle and the various paint textures he uses. I expanded on his technique slightly and added more natural textures such as sand, canvas, and some glass textures. I tweaked these layers with some shadows and layer styles to really bring the paper look to life. I then moved on to InDesign to add the text, I really wanted it to flow like water hence the wavy effect the copy has. Finally I brought some pages into Adobe After Effects to actually bring them to life!
