There is a time when a child will hang on a parent’s every word—and then there is the rest of growing up when they “want to do it themselves”. This Bible was created to enable kids to have a wonderful adventure while teaching them the foundational principle that God’s Word is full of riches—truths that can help a person throughout life by establishing a rich relationship with God through Christ.
Design Corps was asked by The Livingstone Corporation to develop visuals for this new concept to help sell the project. Originally what was requested were several samples of different insert items placed in a two color design of the interior for several sample pages.
But, as the project began, Design Corps realized it just wasn’t enough to design a few extra background images. This was a kids’ Bible, and kids don’t like boring. And it was also a project we believed in. Design Corps had caught a bigger vision. To get the point across required lots of illustrations. This was necessary in order to convey the continuity of style as well as the richness of diversity of images.
We did illustrations for different types of study notes (archaeological, historical, etc.). Then we added realistic types of coins, stamped with nine different traits we gleam from reading God’s Word. The largest insert art was for the title page of each book of the Bible.
Finally, to make sure that the client knew we were really talking ADVENTURE, Design Corps designed a cover that would really POP on the shelf with the same type of illustration and richness of style that was found in the interior, but in full color.
