During the summer of 2020, I was part of a team of QUT design students tasked with creating a digitally illustrated mural for the Early Education Centre at the QUT Kelvin Grove campus.

The Brief

The aim of the mural was to assist the refurbishment plan in creating a visually exciting and engaging learning environment.

The general theme carried throughout the mural was loosely that of Narnia including a green forest, rocky/sandy mountains, and icy mountains.

The type of artwork chosen for the mural design was a vector-based flat image illustration.

Quote Wall

The initial quote chosen for the project was a quote from Roald Dahl's children's novel Matilda, "Somewhere inside all of us, is the power to change the world".

The style chosen for the quote was handwritten, playful and calligraphic.

The colours were black and white to keep it simple.

Quote Change

Nearing the end of the project the client had to change the quote completely. The new quote they provided was, "Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds" from the Children's Book Council of Australia.

So I began the design process again.
