ILLUSTRATE A CLASSIC:

ASSIGNMENT: Illustrate the following extract from The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Originally written by Asbjornsen & Moe, retold by Vera Southgate.

TEXT:"Who's that trip-trapping over my bridge?" roared the troll.
The eldest Billy Goat Gruff's voice was even louder and gruffer than the troll's voice.
"It's me, the biggest billy Goat Gruff," he bellowed.


SPECS: Double-page spread of an 8.5x11" Picture Book. (Two facing pages). Bleed optional. Must leave space somewhere in illustration for the text (you don't have to show the text if you dont want to). text should fall within at least 1" from trim on all sides. Total illustration size with bleed = 17.5"wide x 11.5" deep. Total illustration size without bleed = 15.5" wide x 9.5" deep.



DEADLINE: August 31, 2007. (We have one month to create a finished illustration following with an online critique).

NEXT ASSIGNMENT: Posted on Sunday, September 2, 2007 by Tricia Tharp.
