Milk Jar Café – “2-for-1 Thai Tea Event Promotion”
The Queen of Street Cats
Client:
Class Assignment
Illustrator, Designer
The assignment was to create an editorial cover that visually
reflected the story it accompanied while highlighting the central
figure. The story focused on a woman who rescued stray cats in
New York City, earning her the nickname “The Queen of Street
Cats.”
Role:
Project Objective
Design Process
I began by carefully reading the story to understand its themes
and the personality of the subject. Since much of her work took
place at night, I chose a New York alleyway as the setting and
used darker tones to convey the atmosphere of her rescues.
To emphasize her nickname, I depicted her seated on a throne,
symbolizing both her authority and compassion within the world
of street cats. This combination of setting, color palette, and
symbolic imagery created a cover that was both narrative-driven
and visually striking, capturing the essence of her story.
