A look into the components in successful character design, with a focus of children's illustrated books. Asking people in the industry along with analysis of past and contemporary portrayal of characters.

"I see character design as the elements and process of visually representing the characteristics and look of a character.
Character design has been a way of visually showing characters who represent ideas, products and people. Looking at the way designers design a character, who they collaborate with and what decisions are made with representing the message they want to get across, How a designer will create a character from the information they are given."
