I got in touch with a student from the college that studies photography and that has a pet hedgehog. She kindly sent me some photos that she took and has given me permission to use them in my design.

I have found a collection of short poems about hedgehogs:
The Hedgehog
The hedgehog sleeps the
Winter through.
He doesn’t get up like me or you
Nobody pulls him out of bed
Nobody calls him a sleepy head
He doesn’t get up till the
flowers are out
What do you think he dreams
about?
Little Hedgehog
A hungry little hedgehog
Comes snuffling late at night
But when I go to see him
He rolls himself up tight
He turns into a prickly ball
With head and feet inside
This clever little hedgehog
Has the perfect way to hide
Wintertime
Where do you go in wintertime
Oh hedgehog so sharp and small?
I hide myself under fallen leaves
And sleep like a curled up ball.
Harry
Hedgehog
Harry
hedgehog in the hedgerow
saw a tasty treat
Harry
hedgehog in the hedgerow
thought the taste so sweet
Harry
hedgehog in the hedgerow
licked his sticky lips
Harry
hedgehog in the hedgerow
spitting out the pips
Harry
hedgehog in the hedgerow
looked around for more
Harry
hedgehog in the hedgerow
ate an apple core
Harry
hedgehog in the hedgerow
rolled into a ball
Harry
hedgehog in the hedgerow
loved the fruits of fall
Hedgehog
Something
in my garden
Small
dark and stout.
Is
it coming in?
Or
maybe going out?
Hidden
in the long grass
Almost
out of sight
Edging
in slowly
In
case it gets a fright.
Little
beady eyes
Long
thin nose
Sharp
bent clause
On
little hairy toes.
As
it scurries off quickly
To
winter hibernate
I
see the snow is coming
Hope
he's not too late.
Hedge
in my shed
At
the bottom of the garden
I
walked in to my shed
There
I saw a hedgehog
Curled
up in his bed
As
I put the light on
He
opened up his eyes
This
must have disturbed him
And
caught him by surprise
Then
I saw him move
And
walk across the floor
Then
I saw him leave
As
he walked on through the door
I
went back in the morning
Because
he was in my head
And
there he was again
Tucked
up in his bed.
Hedgehog
and toad
I
saw a little hedgehog
Trying
to cross the road
Getting
to the other side
To
see his friend the toad
Of
into the field
They
both went to play
Away
from the road
Where
the danger lay
There
they played for hours
In
amongst the sheep
Until
they both got tired
And
both fell fast asleep
Sleepy
hedgehog
I
saw a little hedgehog
Curled
up in ball
Lying
there so still
Beside
the garden wall
He
looked very peaceful
In
his little bed
Lying
there so still
I
thought that he was dead
Then
he began to move
And
opened up his eyes
And
stretched his little body
To
its normal size
Then
he wandered off
As
happy as can be
Down
the garden path
So
wild and yet so free
Ladybird
Tale
There
was a little ladybird
And
she was very sad
She
had lost her spots
The
only ones she had
Noticed
by a hedgehog
Who
was walking by
He
had seen the ladybird
As
she began to cry
Then
he ask the ladybird
What
was the reason why
I
have lost my spots she said
And
don’t know what to do
Hedgehog
said don’t worry
Ill
find them again for you
So
they started looking
In
the forest ground
When
hedgehog saw a leaf
And
on it something round
I
have found your spots he said
Now
you can have them back
Then
off they walked together
Down
the forest track.
The content I have sourced for my double page spread is aimed at children so I want to create a simple layout with illustrations to work along side type and image.
General Research
The images below are the kind of illustrations I might possibly create for my spread.
Editorial design research
I have looked at publications aimed towards children to give me an idea of layouts, fonts and illustrations.
Fonts
These are some fonts I have sourced from the internet that I think will be appropriate to the content.
