Project Description
For Black Forest Artworks, I created a series of nine hand-drawn animal posters designed for children. Each illustration features a different woodland animal character, created to feel friendly, expressive, and inviting, encouraging children to connect emotionally with the images.
All posters are designed to work individually, while also forming a visually cohesive collection when combined in any configuration. A central focus of the project was the color palette and overall harmony, ensuring that every poster fits seamlessly with the others, no matter which animals are chosen or how many are displayed together.
The result is a warm, child-friendly poster series that combines character illustration, gentle storytelling, and thoughtful color design. The collection is well suited for children’s rooms and playful interior spaces, offering flexibility in arrangement while maintaining a clear and recognizable visual identity across the entire series.
