Frequently asked questions
What does the Mid-century storybook style look like?
1950s–60s limited-palette lithograph look with geometric shapes and slight misregistration.
Can I use Mid-century storybook for a black-and-white interior?
Mid-century storybook is a color-first look. For a black-and-white interior, pick one of the line-art styles instead, or keep this style for the cover and color pages.
How do I keep characters consistent across pages?
Describe your main characters once when you plan the book. kdpbook.us reuses that description on every illustration prompt so the same character appears throughout, in the Mid-century storybook style.
