One thing that inspired me when thinking about the aesthetic of my children's book was vintage Ladybird books, especially the colours that are used, they always seem quite faded and neutral. I want to mix this with my style of creating texture and bold image.
The narrative style of Ladybird books is also something that I want to try and include in my own book, in the instructional books particularly, the narrative style is quite blunt and straight to the point, obviously to make it easy for children to understand. I think using this style of writing will help to give the appearance of a children's book yet adding adult humour will mock the context.
