Rob Steen - Flanimal

Above are the images from the popular children's book series "Flanimals". The "Flanimals" themselves are quite simple designed characters that do the job for a children's book. But what I'm looking for is how these book series lay out their pages individually, and as you can see from the above image, its layout is very simple, with a plain white background , the layout doesn't look anything special, but it works well with the image and the shape and size of the pages. I'm not a massive fan of the blank white page, blank white pages drive me made, as I have the need to fill them in with colour or some form of a background, so the white background approach will not be used on my final image.

The one thing I do like with this page layout is the false latin abbreviation of the character, the latin names are comical and probably stand out the most thanks to the use of italic font on the latin wording.
