Another Blog: Illustrator Study

Well for most of this month I have been tied up working on final class projects. Two were blogs and the third a paper. I will be showcasing my Illustrator Study in this post. For the study, I looked at the work of two children's book author/illustrators.

I enjoyed working on the project for my Materials for Children class (INFO 263) at San Jose State University (SJSU) where I am completing my Master of Library and Information Science. I will have the degree completed, hopefully, this coming December (2017).

The above image is the first page of my project "blog" or I should say website. I provide information abut the two authors, Jan Brett and Rober Sabuda.

Screen Shot of Comparing Illustrators

Part of the Project included comparing the two illustrators styles. For this, I created the below image comparison and chart comparing their work/influences. This information is found on the website in more detail.

The above chart shows the information from the research I completed for the website and each illustrator. I found the similarities and differences fascinating. One similar influence was both were encouraged by their moms.  

This information and more can be found on the website for those who are interested in learning more about the two illustrators. Along with information about there is a brief bibliography of works for each illustrator including books written by each.

To view the whole project you can go to:

This is a finished project and will not be updated.
