So, this little guy arrived at my doorstep. First Chinese, now Korean. 

A giraffe in a hat.

This is when an author learns more about the contract she signed. When your book gets translated into other languages, it basically gets sold in its entirety to another publisher, who also has the right to re-design it in the way they see fit for their market.

{look at that tiny tiger!}

Luckily, so far so good. I actually love both re-designs. The layout, the tiny details. And especially, the giraffe in the hat. The Asian design aesthetic seems to fit really well with mine. 

And both the Chinese and Korean characters, so beautiful. They look like art on the page.

This has me thinking seriously about how I might want to evolve my own designs, while continuing to trust more of what comes naturally to me. More negative space and I like tiny, I really do.
