The Sound of X

When I look at the letter X, I see the alphabet. I think of a children’s illustrated alphabet, which is full of bright colours and simple illustrations. I wanted to focus on the sound of X and how you can pronounce it in many different ways, words like luxury, fox and xylophone all have the letter X in them, yet the X sounds completely different.

I wanted to illustrate a fox and a xylophone to represent the different sounds that X can make. The fox is hunting for mice, the mice make a noise that can be represented as music to the fox. Then the xylophone has musical notes coming from it, representing the sound that a xylophone can make when played.
