I was lucky enough to illustrate these genre bookmarks for my local library of Ashfield in Sydney through my work at Sweets Workshop. This project was such a fantastic one that I thoroughly enjoyed working on.


It involved librarians choosing a genre and compiling a list of their favourite authors to recommend to their customers. I was then given the task of illustrating the front of each of the bookmarks.


The genres included: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Australian, Cosy Crime, Crime & Thriller, Young Adult Fiction, Junior Fiction and my personal favourite Graphic Novels.


While illustrating the bookmarks I wanted to keep some graphic elements unified e.g. the placement of the open book and the centre circle.


I then used colour, hand drawn silhouettes as well as  positive and negative space to create illustrations that represented each genre.
