The award winning Teach Your Monster to Read created by the The Usborne Foundation has been a hugely successful game in aiding children with the early stages of reading since it’s launch in 2012. It is widely used throughout schools and homes all over the world.

I was asked to create a concept for the teaser trailer to introduce the second game. Using some existing character designs that had been developed for the game by the talented Chris Garbutt and Richard Wake, I created a short and fun animation teaser to create excitement at Your Monsters new adventure and gave people a fun view into his zany friends and colourful universe.

Since the second trailer I have been asked to create further trailers that expanded on the current style to launch the iPad version and third and final game.
