Understanding Pages & Spreads for Your Book
Illustrating a children’s book requires careful planning to ensure each page flows seamlessly with the story.
Here's a quick breakdown of how pages and spreads work:
SPREAD
A spread illustration spans across two facing pages, creating a seamless, immersive image that enhances storytelling by using the full breadth of space. This format is ideal for capturing expansive scenes or conveying movement, depth, and drama, drawing readers into the story.
Page
A page illustration occupies a single page, focusing the viewer’s attention on a specific moment or detail within the narrative. Page illustrations are versatile, working well as standalone images that complement the text without overwhelming it, and are commonly used for highlighting key scenes or character moments.
SPOT
A spot illustration is a small, standalone image typically used to enhance specific sections of text without dominating the page. Unlike a spread or page illustration, spot illustrations are designed to complement the content subtly while adding visual interest.
Whether your book needs spots, standalone pages or dynamic spreads, I’ll guide you in choosing the best format to match the rhythm and impact of your story.
