Tiivistelmä
The purpose of the following thesis is to describe the process of illustrating and designing a poetry book. The task was a part of a collaboration with a Lebanese writer who holds a bachelor's degree in English Language and Literature.
The implementation of the project required knowledge in several fields as well as the ability to make personal observations and utilize them in practice. The theoretical part of the written report examines the function of illustration and the basics of book design and discusses the stylistic and technical influences at the basis of the illustrator's works. The practical part of the thesis demonstrates the various stages of illustration and the book design process and provides insight into the challenges faced during decision making, as well as the illustrator's personal approach to visualizing the written word.
The outcome of the project is a prototype of a poetry book. It is important to note that the project is incomplete, as more poems and illustrations are likely to be added to the book in the future. No definite plans regarding publishing have yet been made.
