Brief:
Rushton was approached by the creative team behind Behind the Magic Door with a delightful challenge: to design a captivating cover for their personalised children’s book.
The vision? A vibrant, character-driven illustration that would charm both children and adults while subtly showcasing the unique, customisable nature of the story.
The final artwork needed to highlight the book’s imaginative essence, drawing potential buyers in with its irresistible charm. Timeframe: just 2 weeks. Budget: competitive but achievable.
The Result:

Rushton exceeded expectations by delivering a playful and polished illustration that feels alive with energy and personality. The cover bursts with the 2 charming characters and intricate details, each carefully designed to hint at the unique story within.
With his signature “cute” style, Rushton managed to evoke a sense of adventure and wonder while keeping the art clear and engaging for younger readers. Every stroke reflects the careful balance of creativity and precision, ensuring the design fits seamlessly into the personalised book’s branding.
Not only did Rushton meet the 2-week deadline, but he also stayed comfortably within budget, earning glowing praise from the author.
