Book Illustrations - Arabela In Wonderland

I had the honor of illustrating a book created as an anniversary gift for a married couple. The request was to draw and write the love story of how they met and how they spent their first year together.

For the visual direction, as requested, I drew inspiration from Disney’s Alice in Wonderland (1951). I studied the characteristic elements that define the movie’s style and reinterpreted them across the different illustrations, adapting them to the couple and their personal journey.

All illustrated pages were created entirely in Photoshop, while the book layout and typography were produced in InDesign. For the printing process, I entrusted the production to Printya by Sallman in Salzburg. Both the cover and the interior pages were printed according to the client’s wishes.

The couple shares a truly special story, and there was no better way to represent it than through a book inspired by the wife’s favorite animated film.
