Through this project, I not only explored the rich visual world of Marie Antoinette but also reconnected with a personal childhood memory. Researching eighteenth-century fashion, Rococo aesthetics, and the queen’s iconic styles informed the creation of my Marie Antoinette–inspired paper doll, allowing me to blend historical accuracy with playful illustration. The process reminded me of the joy I felt playing with paper dolls as a child, and I wanted to share that same sense of simple, nostalgic happiness with my audience. Working within the limited A3 outcome pushed me to refine and minimise my concept so the focus remained clear and centred, leading to multiple revisions as I honed the final design. By combining research, sentiment, and thoughtful editing, I produced a piece that feels both meaningful and visually cohesive.
