In the beginning of 2022 I interned at Tulika Books, a children's book publishing house based in Chennai, India. My most exciting project during my internship at Tulika Publishers was illustrating and designing the layout for Shorewalk, a book about the coastline of Chennai.
I drew illustrations of the marine creatures in the pictures, bringing them out of the photograph and onto the page. I made the photographs as big as possible to make the reader feel immersed in the environment. The beautiful photographs taken by the author were inspiration to highlight parts of each photo in an illustrative form to make each page interesting.
These are a few spreads from the book. All illustrations and text are copyrighted by Tulika Publishers.
