Editorial & eBook Design | Illustrated Corporate Brochure & Visual Storytelling
Editorial and eBook design project combining custom illustration, structured page layout, typography, and visual storytelling.
This project explores a modern illustrated publication format designed for corporate, educational, and professional content.
I developed the visual direction, page composition, illustrated scenes, information hierarchy, typography, and overall layout to transform text-heavy information into a more engaging visual experience.
The design approach is suitable for:
• eBooks
• Corporate brochures
• Company reports
• Educational publications
• Digital magazines
• White papers
• Brand presentations
• Pitch decks
• Editorial publications
• Marketing PDFs
• Illustrated guides
The focus is on making information easier to understand while maintaining a polished and professional visual identity.

Book Cover Design — The What-If Monster
I designed The What-If Monster as a warm, imaginative children’s book cover that visually communicates the story’s themes of fear, imagination, courage, and emotional reassurance.
The cover centers on a young girl and her friendly “What-If Monster,” creating an immediate visual connection between the child’s worries and the comforting character who helps her face them. I used a dreamy nighttime setting, expressive characters, and warm bedroom lighting to create a sense of safety while maintaining the mystery and imagination that children naturally associate with monsters.
The hand-drawn title treatment gives the cover a playful, youthful personality, while the contrasting colors help the title stand out clearly. The character expressions and cozy bedroom environment were intentionally designed to make the book feel approachable rather than frightening.
I also created the accompanying “About the Book” interior page using the same illustration style, typography, and color direction to maintain a consistent visual identity throughout the book.
Design focus:
🎨 Children's book illustration & visual storytelling
👧 Emotional connection with young readers
👾 Friendly, imaginative character design
🌙 Cozy nighttime atmosphere
✏️ Playful, child-friendly typography
📖 Cohesive cover and interior design
The goal: turn an abstract childhood feeling—“What if something goes wrong?”—into a memorable character and a visual story that makes children feel understood, comforted, and brave.
