The Sunshine Journal.
The Sunshine Journal is designed to fit within the branding of Yoga On Cards (another one of my projects). Its purpose is to encourage, comfort and empower its owner through the use of mindfulness techniques and happy leaf lady illustrations. The journal pages within the book provide uplifting quotes and methods to improve mental health and become more aware of physical health. These methods include daily mindfulness tools like tracking sleep quality, meditation and exercise, a daily gratitude list, setting an intention, and reflecting upon achievements and areas of improvement. The leaf ladies are gentle reminders that all body types are perfect and that connecting to nature will help to heal and nurture the body and mind.
The illustrations were created by first sketching by hand with pencil and paper. These were then scanned and recreated in Adobe Illustrator. The time-lapse below demonstrates the process of digitising the illustrations in Illustrator.
