Working on Colouring Books

Ora Murphy is a writer and artist based in Los Angeles, USA, and has published several books and pieces of art. Recently, one of her projects has been scribing and painting Hebrew letters in her own unique and Mandala-like style and decided to release the letters as a colouring book children and adults could purchase to view her work and colour their own versions.

Ora approached us for a consultation and provided specific instructions to create a design for her title "Ora's Happy Hebrew Tangles" that she could use, design a book cover that reflected her unique style, and laying out the book for different methods of production.

All we received were scanned images of all her letters which we retouched and cleaned up digitally. We also had to create black and white versions of her coloured letters. While designing the book cover, we used some of her artistic borders she illustrated as elements for the design. 

We had to create two different book layouts for the publication as one would be printed in colour by an independent printer, while the other format was to be black and white and for sale through Amazon's print-on-demand service (which had its own specific submission requirements).

We were stoked when we received photos of the first batch of books that were sent from their printer. The books looked great, inside and out!
