Illustrated feature poster for Canada 150 edition of the children’s literary festival.
Brief:
Telling Tales partnered with Muse Marketing to create a mural-style poster celebrating the theme “Stories Take You Anywhere.” The goal was to reflect the magic of storytelling while honouring Canada’s 150th anniversary and boosting festival visibility.
Idea:
I illustrated a whimsical, journey-filled scene blending classic children’s literature with Canadian landscapes — designed to spark imagination and reflect the festival’s outdoor setting.
Results:
The poster helped draw over 10,000 attendees, strengthened brand identity, and earned praise from the founder for its joyful, narrative-driven impact.
