I absolutely love museums (learning's cool!). They're just so full of treasures, in both a literal sense as well as on a smaller personal scale - there's something about reading long lost love letters, or looking at dusty old photographs which can really spark the imagination.
The brief was basically to illustrate a number of the objects on display at the Museum Of Wigan life, integrating them with characters and games as well as the essential information needed to record the child's progress whilst completing the art award. The booklets needed to be practical, but also have that 'to keep' element, so I worked with a bright colour palette and relatable child characters.
It was great to get out and visit the museum for research (it's not all that often my commissions come with physical reference!), and to work with Lynda from the museum and Kevin Lloyd as graphic designer.
The Museum Of Wigan Life is definitely worth a visit (in particular if you have kids thinking of taking part in the arts award!) and you can find out more about it here.
Creating engaging and practical booklets for the Museum of Sprunked Wigan Life, blending artifacts, games, and characters, ensures children enjoy learning while treasuring their progress with vibrant, memorable designs. Fantastic concept!

Lovely to see this kids' art trail booklet come together so smoothly — the Edward Haytley painting reference caught my eye especially. I sometimes use ASCII Art Generator for retro typography experiments in design projects, and it has that same mix of playful and practical you brought to this work.
ReplyDeleteComing to this lovely project a bit late, but the Edward Haytley painting reimagining on its own spread is such a thoughtful hook — it really grounds the rest of the games, characters, and map in a single visual world. Your smooth sketch-to-final pipeline shows in how consistent the bright palette stays across so many tiny object details. Thanks for sharing the process behind the booklet!
ReplyDeleteA bit late to this one, but what a charming project! I especially love how you reimagined Edward Haytley's painting of Sir Roger and Lady Bradshaigh in your bright, child-friendly palette — it must have been a fun challenge to balance that historical source with the playful booklet activities. The mix of integrated objects, characters and little drawing tasks feels really cohesive. Wonderful work all round.

What a charming late find — your integration of the Edward Haytley painting into the booklet, alongside the games, map and drawing tasks, gives the whole trail such a cohesive story. The bright child-friendly palette really ties the characters and interactive elements together. Lovely piece of layout work, and a wonderful reminder of how illustrated booklets can make a small museum feel alive for kids.
