Matthew and Nina had developed the idea for a personalised children’s book to help explain dementia to children in a gentle, age-appropriate way. They had already written the story and commissioned the illustrations, but needed help bringing the elements together into a finished book that felt warm, thoughtful and engaging, while allowing names and details to be personalised for each reader.
I developed the book layout and typographic system, working with the existing illustrations to create a gentle rhythm throughout the story. The design was created to work across both print and digital formats, with a flexible structure that allowed each book to be personalised while maintaining a cohesive visual experience.
