A
blog about Katie Woo's clothes by the book's designer, Emily
Harris:
Greetings from the design cube! Today I get to share with
you my most favorite little character and series of books, Katie
Woo.
Katie is special for many reasons-she's got the sass, spunk
and curiosity that makes her a great, relatable character
for children.
Katie Woo is an amazing series to be working on, and my
favorite part of the project (it's very difficult to pick
just one!) was helping to create her outfit and look. In the
beginning I had some ideas-she had to have glasses, and she
must look like she picked out her own clothes to wear. From
there, I let the illustrator concept how she saw Katie in
her head. There were revisions of course, until we came to a
version that everyone was happy with. Below is the evolution
of Katie Woo:
Round 1: While cute, we were looking for something a little
more funky and colorful.
Round 2: Much closer to what we had envisioned. However, we
still felt like she needed something to make her stand out.
Round 3: Perfection! We love everything, from the cowboy
boots to the turquoise glasses. She's done!
