Mr Men and Little Miss
Illustrator and Author: Rodger Hargreaves
These were some books I found on a bookshelf at home which I think everyone knows. The Mr. men and Little Miss books are illustrated with colored images on every second page. I found out during research that these were done using marker pens. when I looked at the drawings I could see this. The design of these books is simple as the books are usually white with a simple non complex drawing. This is children book collection and they work well for children as they are bright and colorful and stand out and are also very simple in images.
I looked at the book Mr. Happy and how he has created the character to have these traits for example he looks like the sun because he is round and yellow.
In some scenes he does not use blue for the sky but white. The colors also commonly clash, such as reds and greens. He uses a black outline around all his is images.
These books have nothing scary or too detailed about them, which makes them great for younger children. I enjoy seeing how an artist can only use simple markers to create a book that has great impact and popularity.
