Custom Storybook Design and Illustration

Storybook Illustrator & Designer Needed (13 Pages)

I am creating a deeply personal gift for my sister — a “story of us” illustrated in a warm, soft, storybook inspired style. The tone should be emotional, nostalgic and heartfelt, without being too kiddish or funky. I already have the complete written content for all 12 pages, and I am now looking for an illustrator and designer to turn it into a beautifully crafted, print ready book.

Project Requirements

13 pages total

12 story pages

1 illustrated cover page

(Back cover will remain blank)

Each page will have custom illustrations based on what that page is talking about.

I will provide reference photos of me, my sister and other family members, so the characters in the illustrations should resemble real people.

The design should feel warm, expressive, and heartfelt — inspired by classic storybook aesthetics.

Deliverables

Fully designed print ready PDF of the entire book.

Custom illustrations for all 13 pages.

A clean and aesthetic layout that complements the text.

High resolution illustration files (PNG/JPEG) if needed.

What I’m Looking For

Experience in storybook style illustration.

Ability to capture emotions, expressions and character likeness.

A designer who understands personal storytelling and can maintain the warm tone throughout.

Someone collaborative and open to feedback as we refine each page.

If this sounds like a project you’d enjoy, please share your portfolio, estimated timeline and pricing.
