Character Design, Page Layout, Illustration

Project Context: Designed a playful one-page feature for the BOV Bank magazine “Huttafa.” Created a local bird character (Għasfur tal-Bejt) to interact with text and guide readers through the page. The goal was to make informative content fun and engaging for children (and adults alike).

Character Creation

Designed Għasfur tal-Bejt, as per client's request, as a mascot that can adapt to different stories or text in future issues.

Pose-ability

Focused on energetic poses and fun expressions to make reading lively.

Typography

Selected playful fonts that are readable but whimsical.

Colours

Used vibrant colours to appeal to children while remaining professional for adults.

Interaction

The character is able to interact with the text and elements to guide the reader’s eye while creating a fun element.

Flexibility

Designed character to be versatile for recurring appearances in future magazine issues.
