Hamlet
Publishing, Illustration, Typography
Instructor: Matt Curtius
Embark on a visual journey through the world of Shakespeare's Hamlet with my illustrative rendition, where the classic tale unfolds in a unique and captivating manner. The loose and gestural illustration style, brought to life with colored pencil and gouache, imparts a distinct charm to the narrative. A cool palette sets the tone, weaving a visual atmosphere that resonates with the play's intricate emotions. To add a layer of depth, I implemented a color-coded naming system for each main character, starting with the dramatis personae and seamlessly carried throughout the entire publication. This system enhances the reader's connection to the characters, creating a dynamic and visually cohesive experience. Taking whimsy to heart, I crafted a custom typography design for the characters' names, ensuring it harmonizes seamlessly with the airy quality of the illustrations. Join me in reimagining Hamlet, where the words of Shakespeare come alive through a tapestry of illustration, color, and typography.
