About Zodiacville Runners Illustrazione per libri per bambini
Zodiacville Runners è una fiaba illustrata per bambini che racconta la storia degli animali di Zodiacville, i quali partecipano a un festival di corsa organizzato dal Re Drago. Le illustrazioni uniscono gli elementi della pittura tradizionale coreana minhwa a uno stile di puntinismo digitale. Numerosi puntini tenui sono stati sovrapposti uno a uno, ispirandosi a una tecnica orientale di pittura sul retro. Il libro misura 260 per 260 millimetri e presenta angoli arrotondati per garantire la sicurezza. La prima parte propone la storia per i bambini, mentre la seconda offre guide didattiche e materiali supplementari per gli educatori.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- This project is an experimental mixture of traditional Korean 'minhwa' attributes, fable narratives passed from mouth to mouth, and illustrator's own digital pointillism painting styles. Accordingly, folkish episodes of zodiacville animals are based on the humorous and joyful sentiment of the festival. Furthermore, numerous dilute dots were blended layer by layer, inspired by the oriental back-painting technique.

- Production Technology
- Layering hard-type dots one by one, the illustrator materialized the pointillism in a digital drawing environment.
- Design Challenge
- There were concerns that humorous expressions could convey distorted visual messages to growing children, as this book was planned to be used in educational sites. Therefore, the contents were continuously consulted by professional elementary teachers and volunteers from youth institutions. Accordingly, the illustrations have undergone modifications to prevent expressing certain races or minority classes in negative stereotypes.
- Research
- The project is based on anatomical research to represent detailed animal characters that fit the cognitive ability of shapes of teenage children. In advance, the actual bones and muscle structures of the animals in the book were analyzed in detail. After that, the silhouettes were organically simplified and the deformation technique was applied to give character traits.
- Inspiration
- This is a children's fairy tale about Zodiacville's animals participated in the running festival hosted by the Dragon King. The illustrator and writer enriched episodes with ideas from several workshops in the plot conception stage. For example, a four-character idiom, "Monkeys and dogs don't get along well", was naturally included in the episode.
- Project Duration
- The duration of the project is from October 2018 to February 2019. The project was mainly carried out in South Korea. Later, other countries where the books are planned to be distributed are Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine.
- Operation Flow
- The book is divided into Part1 for children and Part 2 for educators. Educators organize classes by referring to learning guides and supplementary materials in Part2, helping children understand contents in Part1. Educators use illustrations and Russian hint texts to encourage children to learn Korean and Korean culture naturally. Furthermore, children infer the situation with illustrations and learn in-depth on what the yellow-highlighted keywords mean in Korean.
