Little Bird Stories, Vol. 7, was created during my time in the Book Publishing practicum at York University in tandem with Invisible Publishing. The book is a short story collection, part of an ongoing series from the Sarah Selecky Writing School and their Little Bird Stories writing contest. The book is now available for purchase through Invisible Publishing.

For Volume 7, I was responsible for designing the covers and the interiors of the book. For the cover, I chose a public domain painting by Johann Friedrich Naumann. For the interiors, drawing on the bird theme present in each volume, many of the illustrations either reference birds or allude to a significant visual cue in each respective story. The images are either public domain, drawn by hand, or I used creative solutions to make them.

For example, for "Pufferman", which featured cheese puffs and caramel cakes as a plot point, I scanned some Cheetos and rice cakes, and via Photoshop and Illustrator, turned them into "hand-drawn" sketches.
