Where You Came From

hundreds & thousands design inc., Vancouver, British Columbia, 2008

Description

This book follows When You Were Small by the same author and illustrator. We kept the same project dimensions and used a similar grid and typeface. Our intention was again to be mindful of small details and add playful touches without overwhelming the content.

Each page of the text begins with “No,” so we played with the repetitive uppercase N. The illustrator was commissioned to provide a number of black-and-white ink drawings, and we used these in place of drop caps: a different N beginning each page.

Juror Notes

The subtle illustrative details and hand-drawn typography enhance the magical aspects of this story.
