I was given a lot of creative freedom in the design of this book in order to bring it to life. Disney provided all the character art and I designed the remainder of the artwork. The diary contains notes, pressed flowers and other mementos. I scanned actual flowers and leaves (and a child's sock) and created hand-drawn title treatments with colored pencil. I even created a page that looked as if it had been torn out, partially burned, and sewn back in by actually doing those things rather than trying to fake it digitally. There are many special print treatments throughout the book such as glitter, glow-in-the-dark ink, and a secret code that can only be revealed with the included "fairy magnifying glass".
This Disney book features many interactive elements such as pop-ups, fold-outs, diecuts, pockets and special surface treatments. The cover of the book features spot varnish, glitter, embossing and embedded "jewel dewdrops".
