A writer friend has reached out to me through the collective we are both a part of. She wrote a poem and wanted to collaborate with an illustrator. I loved her work and agreed to work on this illustration for her. For me it was a completely new experience to work with someone else's writing. I was quite experimental in my style and I was trying to make my visual language fit her work and not the other way round.
Final designs
Firstly I've designed an illustration based on the poem and then Anita asked me to incorporate the words from her writing into my illustration. When curating my portfolio I've asked for Anita's consent to publish this collaborative work and I've applied a mockup to it to see what this collaboration would have looked like when printed.
*at the time when this portfolio was compiled, the poem has not been published yet*
