The Art of Book Illustration and Promo Design
Immerse in the enchanting world of ‘The Boiling Cauldron of Grandfather Radey’ by Anna Blake, a captivating storybook designed to ignite the imaginations of children aged 9-12. At Nebula, we breathed life into the rustic fairy tales through the warmth of watercolour illustrations. Every brushstroke and colour palette was thoughtfully chosen to transport young readers into the whimsical worlds within the pages of the book.

The project didn’t just stop at illustration and design. We wanted the magic to spill out of the book and into the real world. We crafted a captivating promo video that serves as a doorway into the grandeur of Grandfather Radey’s world. The video invites children to dive into the story and help the author promote the book across all social media platforms.
