App Spotlight- Interactive picture book

Coming from Visual Design background, I always wished if somehow illustration could be integrated with apps. I never really liked the way every graphic element used in app was either taken from stock image sites or inspired from works posted on Dribble . Even in most kids app we can find a set style of imagery is used which has a general look. I felt the visual treatment lacked uniqueness.

Then one day I came across a storybook app Pickle – the little bird who doesn’t tweet  which was authored and illustrated by Alina Chau's work. Since it was an ios based app I couldn't download and experience it. I kept on searching in Android platform to find out similar apps.

Luckily, I found two apps which were free, developed by Fox and Sheep 
1. The Jungle Book
2. Nighty Night - Bedtime story

I love the illustrations and the tiny interactive animations that happen in these apps. Fox and Sheep collaborates with Illustrators to develop these apps. Artists like Chris Haughton and Christoph Niemann have collaborated with them.

Illustrator- Matt Johnson

Artist Found- Debasmita Dasgupta

For past few months I was coming across beautiful cover design of the book 'The Teenage Diary of Nur Jahan' publisher by Speaking Tiger books, in various social media sites. I wanted to know who is the illustrator, but could not find much information. I even went on to ask Speaking Tiger books, via Instagram, but didn't get any answer. But today I got to know the name of the illustrator, because someone kindly tagged her name in comments over Instagram. She is Debasmita Dasgupta. On a side note I will like to mention, it makes me feel real bad when I find, there is no mention of illustrator when book promotions are done in various media. This is a big issue and there are artists outside India, who are voicing their views on this over twitter. That would be a whole another blog post  for some other day. So back to my artist find-Debasmita Dasgupta Debasmita Dasgupta is from West Bengal which is my home state too. She currently lives in Singapore, as evident from her Ins...
