300 dpi print

The brief

Northshore Quarterly wanted covers that felt handmade in a year when everything looked generated.

What I built

Four tiny islands, one per season, each carrying a single object: a tree, a ruin, a lamp, a campfire. Pixel art at print size means planning every pixel for 300 dpi, so each cover was drawn at 1:1 and scaled by a whole number.

Result

The spring issue sold out, and the editor framed the winter cover in the office.
