The familiar objects take on unexpected proportions. Blue birds move between a red cup, fruit and a large plant, with lemon slices acting as small bright punctuation marks. The cobalt book anchors the lower part of the arrangement and reinforces the publishing context. Flat shapes and loose outlines keep the objects connected without forcing them into strict perspective. This vertical artwork could inform an illustrated jacket, a chapter opener or a reading-campaign poster. Each use would require its own layout and usage scope. The displayed image is a single self-initiated concept, rather than a published book or a claim of client work.
Approach: Birds, fruit and a red cup stack into a playful still life. A cobalt book and pear, lemon slices and oversized leaves give familiar objects unexpected scale.
Concept brief: A self-initiated publishing concept about noticing ordinary objects. Bring birds, fruit, a cup and a houseplant together as a lively composition rather than a realistic still life.
