Bubba & Mimi is a storybook that follows the dynamic of a frog and a fox after an interaction accidentally turns them into friends. Mimi is a grim reaper that is sent out to collect Bubba, however, their collection is delayed by Mimi’s oblivious nature that eventually connects them together.
This personal project revolves around illustration and the execution of characters in a fantasy world onto a printed format. Mockups are used to demonstrate this execution along with typesetting.
the PROCESS
bubba & mimi
Bubba & Mimi were built off of the visual psychology concept of Bouba and Kiki.
Bubba represents bouba, with round shapes and lighter colors following an RGB color scheme, an addative color scheme most attached to digital mediums.
Mimi represents kiki, utilizing sharper shapes and bolder colors and a CMY color scheme, a subtractive color scheme most attached to print and physical mediums.
The distinction of RGB and CMY is important to the symbolism of their characters, as they come from two different worlds and their personalities reflect the digital and physical culture climates they come from.
illustrations
Illustrations were made once the story was fully written.
Comic books and journal doodles drove the art style as it gave a feeling of youth and innocence, but the cohesiveness of a final drawing.
The cover
I wanted the cover to compose a cover that conveyed ambiguity, as it reflected the relationship of Bubba & Mimi.
There is no clear direction on whether or not they are falling or rising, or if the sun is rising or falling.
The only clear thing is that
they are opposites, shown through posing and color scheme. However, they are brought together by a common object, which is the jellyfish between them.
