Ellie Sage: Curious About Chemistry

by Katie Smith

11 in x 8.5 in, 4 pages

As part of the Illustrative Design senior portfolio at RMCAD, students were required to produce a final project that combined text and illustration.  The goal of the printed project was to demonstrate skills working with illustration and graphic design.  I created a juvenile magazine featuring my Ellie Sage STEM character.  This four-page magazine introduced the concepts of elements, molecules, and compounds to children at the third-fourth grade level.  The first page introduces the concepts with Ellie Sage.  Pages 2 and 3 are a two-page spread with a baking soda and vinegar experiment.  The last page is a glossary of terms used throughout the magazine.  I created traditional and vector illustrations throughout the magazine.  I used my seamless patterns on the cover and as the background.
