About this title

About the Author

Katie Scott graduated from University of Brighton in 2011. Her work draws influences from traditional medical and botanical illustration, both in aesthetic and subject matter. Her work plays with the ideas of scientific uncertainty and speculation, fabricating the inner and outer workings of the world. Her illustrations depict a familiar yet fantasy vision of plants, humans and minerals.

Story of Life: Evolution will be a graphic, fold out guide to evolution. The book will start with the first single-cell organisms and end with modern life forms. Packaged in the same format as Big Picture Press's Design Line series, Evolution: Story of Life is a strong non-fiction offering for the Big Picture Press list that will complement Animalium and is a valuable edition to the 'Welcome to the Museum' series. Read it as a book or fold it all the way out, this is the sort of package that makes Big Picture Press one of the most stylish children's non-fiction imprints.
