Il Palloncino Rosso by Iela Mari


Simple images, exclusively depicted in black, white, and red tell this story of transformation. What starts as a bubble being blown from a person's mouth turns into a balloon, an apple, a butterfly, a flower, and finally an umbrella. Ample white space around the main picture and background designs allows space to tell a story around what is happening as well. Motion is also conveyed, even though the pictures are very flat.
