The Brief: An A3 portrait of her newlywed friends' intertwining cultures as a wedding gift. The couple are French and Malaysian respectively, but now live in Singapore together in a new chapter of their lives. Elaine wanted ot highlight all their favourite parts of all three cultures.

The Process:

Concept Sketches
A page-by-page script was prepared by Bernice & Jon, detailing stuff they wanted to feature in each page. I then helped to write copy for each page to better supplement and drive the story.

Concept / Sketch to Final
Since it's a single-coloured zine, I could focus more on clear elements and compositions that would bring out the story in each page / spread. 

Since every part the story also had to fit the unique size of each page / spread, I focused on simple yet clear shapes for the smaller illustrations, while saving the detailed reveal for the final spread, allowing readers to really take their time to look at it when they reached the end.
