An illustrated children’s book inspired by Russian folklore, exploring morality, kindness, and the harsh beauty of winter.
Old Peter’s Tale of Frost is an illustrated edition of the short story ‘Frost’, written by Arthur Ransome. The story retells a traditional Russian folktale, steeped in magic and myth.
Set within a harsh, atmospheric landscape, the narrative introduces children to the richness of Russian folklore, offering a unique tale rooted in morality and cultural heritage.
The book is aimed at children aged 7–9 years. It includes some challenging vocabulary and themes, making it more appropriate for an older readership within this age range.
It offers an accessible reading experience that introduces younger audiences to traditional Russian stories, helping to spark imagination and curiosity through rich, atmospheric storytelling and illustration.
A book uncovering the forgotten stories, histories, and hidden details of medieval churches in West Sussex.
Life and Death in the House of God is a historical non-fiction book exploring the stories, history and artwork connected to four medieval churches in West Sussex.
The project focuses on creating a historically authentic and engaging cover design and chapter header inspired by medieval culture, religious artwork and manuscripts.
All aspects of the design are carefully considered to ensure the final outcomes feel cohesive, visually impactful, and appropriate to the subject matter of the book.
Pearlfisher Competition Brief
A brand that champions letter writing as a deeper and more thoughtful form of connection.
Digital communication is fast and convenient, but often feels surface-level and impersonal. Messages are brief, easily misinterpreted, and quickly forgotten.
People are now feeling increasingly disconnected, despite being easier to contact than ever before. This has led to a growing desire for more meaningful and authentic ways to communicate.
PEN IT. aims to address this shift by encouraging a return to letter writing as a more intentional and meaningful form of communication.
By slowing the process down, it promotes more thoughtful expression, allowing people to connect on a deeper and more personal level.
Stop Typing, Start Writing.
