This was a fun video to make! Months ago, I received a copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and illustrated by Andrea D’Aquino. It’s a contemporary retelling of the famous story, crafted with beautiful collage imagery that’s unlike any interpretation I’ve seen. To give you a sense of that, I created a 30-second video in which I quickly flip through the entire thing. Despite the brevity, this is a book you’ll want to spend some time with.
Andrea has illustrated spot images and full-spread compositions, with some interesting use of text. One of my favorites is how “Off with their heads!” was designed—you can really hear how low the Queen shouts!
I’ve also included some selections from the book, which is now available on Amazon.
