Interior Illustration 1 of 18

Here’s the first interior illustration for Positive Promotion’s Hispanic Heritage book. The original art specs called for this illustration to read “Hurray for Hispanic Heritage” in English, which was also the header for this page. I thought that seemed a little redundant and missed a good opportunity to show some Spanish language in an otherwise completely English manuscript. It seemed appropriate given the subject.

Since I don’t speak Spanish, I used Google Translate to find the equivalent phrase in Spanish and gave the client the option to have me use that phrase instead. To be safe, I also warned the client to double-check whether my translation was correct, but I think it’s right. They didn’t correct me, anyway. 🤞
