BUKKY

A cheerful, full-color children’s picture book designed and formatted for Amazon KDP print. The story follows two playful kids and their bear friend through sunny meadow adventures, celebrating friendship and kindness. I handled the complete interior layout, including: Text placement and typography chosen for early readers, with clean, legible fonts that sit naturally within the illustrations Full-bleed illustration spreads with correct margins, bleed, and gutter settings Print-ready PDF setup that meets KDP specifications Color balance and image optimization so the artwork stays vibrant in print Consistent page flow and pacing across spreads for a smooth read-aloud experience The result is a warm, engaging book that looks professional on the shelf and holds a young reader’s attention from the first page to the last.

The brief was to create a professional, visually compelling book cover for The Ballad of Scarborough Shoal, a poetry collection exploring maritime heritage, cultural identity, history, and the deep connection between people and the sea. I developed a full-wrap book cover design featuring a dramatic ocean scene at sunset, using warm golden highlights and deep blue tones to create an atmospheric, reflective mood. The design incorporates carefully styled typography, a coordinated front cover, spine, and back cover, along with author information and an introduction to the book. I focused on visual balance, readability, and a cohesive layout to give the publication a polished, professional appearance. The result was an elegant book cover that reflects the collection’s maritime themes and poetic character while presenting the author and publication details in a clear, organised format. The project demonstrates my skills in book cover design, typography, and print-ready book layout.

The brief was to present a children’s book in a clean, professional, and reader-friendly format, combining well-organised text with engaging illustrations to create an enjoyable reading experience. I created a book interior layout featuring carefully arranged chapter text, consistent typography, page numbering, and a black-and-white illustration of friendly animal characters. I focused on clear text hierarchy, balanced spacing, and a structured page layout to ensure the content remained easy to read while the illustrations complemented the story. The result was a polished book interior design that brings together readability, visual appeal, and professional formatting, making the book suitable for print presentation and demonstrating my skills in book layout, typesetting, and illustration placement.
