Creative Children’s Book Printing with “My Body Made a Human” by Emma Ahlqvist
When it comes to creative children’s book printing, Emma Ahlqvist’s “My Body Made a Human” stands out as a prime example. This unique A5 book, with its stark black and white illustrations, is a testament to the power of simplicity and the impact of high-quality printing.
About the Book
“My Body Made a Human” is a beautifully illustrated book by Emma Ahlqvist, a talented artist known for her minimalist and impactful designs. The book is a celebration of the human body, exploring the theme through black and white illustrations that captivate both children and adults alike. The book’s design is a testament to Ahlqvist’s artistic vision, with the black ink standing out against the white background, creating a visually striking effect.
The Printing Process
The book was printed by Ex Why Zed, a leading company in children’s book printing. The book follows an A5 format, with a 4pp cover printed onto 300gsm uncoated paper with a matt lamination outer. The text is printed onto 115gsm uncoated paper, with black print throughout. The book is perfect bound, adding to its professional and high-quality finish.
The printing process was carefully managed to ensure the starkness of the black on the white background was maintained, allowing the quality of the illustrations to speak volumes. The result is a book that is not only visually striking but also tactilely pleasing, offering a unique reading experience for children.
The Impact
“My Body Made a Human” is a testament to the power of creative children’s book printing. The book’s success lies not only in its compelling content but also in its high-quality print and design. The stark black and white illustrations, combined with the high-quality printing techniques used by Ex Why Zed, result in a book that is both visually striking and engaging for young readers.
This case study demonstrates how creative design and high-quality printing can come together to create a unique and impactful children’s book. It also highlights the importance of choosing the right printing options for children’s books, such as the type of paper and binding used, to enhance the overall reading experience.
