Her Illustrative Mind is my Brand name and my social media platform where I can showcase my talent and create a voice for the ethnic minority. I love a challenge especially when its got to do with creating awareness for third world countries. However, towards the last year of my Illustration degree I have leaned more towards designing characters and overall children’s books which I never thought I’d step into before taking on my university course. Having the opportunity to illustrate characters, I’m able to draw characters of colour which we don’t see often and for myself, as a muslim, I don’t see enough characters in books that are muslim or wear an islamic attire. I want to break this on going monotoned cycle of separation and illustrate a book that includes characters of all shapes, colours and faiths.
