Why Dogs Wag Their Tails
A graphical redesign of the story, featuring simple illustrations and a minimalist design.
Brought to you by Areté at Ateneo Basic Education, the fable "Why Dogs Wag Their Tails" draws inspiration from the Philippine Folk-Tales written by Clara Kern Bayliss et al., and it's brought to life through the narration of John Kevin S. Samson.
Category: Print - Storybook
Duration: One (1) week
Role: Graphic Designer, Layout Artist, Illustrator
Main Problem: Converting the text-only story into a graphical, more appealing, and more
engaging format, suitable for its target audience which are children.
Approach: The approach was to start with understanding the source material first, then think of
ways to enhance the story with complementing colors and graphics.
Challenges:
1. The colors used. Selection of colors was a primary problem that needed to be solved.
The colors had to be appealing to the storybook’s target audience (children). It had to, in
a way, pop, so as to go get attention from readers.
2. The graphics. The source material itself is purely text-based. Accompanying graphics
would greatly enhance the appeal of the output. Selection of the graphics was a
challenge to begin with, begging the question of how it will tie in with the overall design.
3. The next problem is to evenly distribute the content into an ample amount of pages. The
source material is short, dividing it into parts was a challenge.
