Maine Moments

A series of illustrations paying tribute to the best place for Summer, Maine. Inspired by Eric Carle's minimalist style, I wanted to capture the MAIN elements of summer here in ME.

Design Direction

For this series I wanted to experiment with a newer and more minimalist illustration style inspired by Eric Carle. Keeping in mind his simplistic, cut out paper style, I restricted myself to only straight angles for each shape. For the color palette, I referenced an old Polish camping map cover illustration from1972.

Spending much of my Summer outside exploring the beautiful state of Maine, I wanted to bring each composition to life with animation. The back and forth horizontal motion was inspired by the flow of the tide on the Maine beaches.
