YGod Book illustrations

The Client

Danielle D'Souza, first-time author and daughter of Dinesh D'Souza was publishing her first book with Gospel Light / Regal Books.

My Role

While I was working as a full-time designer with Gospel Light, a Christian book publisher in 2010, I was offered the opportunity to illustrate Danielle D'Souza's first book, YGod: An Intelligent Discussion on the Relevance of Faith. I was thrilled to take on the opportunity. Danielle and her father, Dinesh D'Souza, did an excellent job providing colorful descriptions for the 34 images they wanted placed in the book. My aim was to provide an airy'New Yorker-like' feel to the line-drawing illustrations.

Problem

With a young author seeking to engage a young audience, the author and publisher were looking to break up text with fun illustrations.

Solution

I provided 34 line drawing illustrations, inspired by great prompts from the author and the publishing team at Regal Books.
