The Works of Hayao Miyazaki is a 20-page booklet delving into the extensive career of renowned director, writer, and animator, Hayao Miyazaki. When tasked to design a booklet for an artist or designer of their choice, Kayla found inspiration from The Boy and the Heron’s 2024 Academy Award win for Best Animated Feature. As the co-founder of Studio Ghibli, Miyazaki’s films continue to remain a source of inspiration for filmmakers, artists, and audiences alike, aiming to inspire all who watch to live life as fully as possible.
The line art seen throughout the project are original illustrations. Kayla did additional research on Japanese wave line art, referencing the work of Mori Yuzan in his book, The Han Bu Shu (1919), and created several designs in trying to mimic the style. Her favorites made their way into the final booklet.
