The topic of this master thesis is the graphic design of a children's picture book created by combining illustration and photography, as well as a description of the technical process of its creation. Along with the introduction, history and development of photography, the theoretical part of this paper briefly presents graphic design, as well as tools and programs that can be used when creating a picture book. Also, this chapter presents a historical overview of the development of the picture book, the types of picture books and the main elements of its graphic design. The practical part provides a detailed description of the entire process of graphic design of a children's picture book - from the idea for creating a story and scenario, creation of photographies and storyboards, as well as a technical creation and design of characters. In this part of the paper, all the key stages and elements of the process are described in detail, and the visual solutions of the author's picture book The mocking trio (Rugavi trojac) are presented. By including illustrations and characters in photographies, a picture book attractive to children which can raise their interest and encourage them to read through visually accessible and attractive content, was created. The paper shows how by combining illustrations with the "real world" shown in the photo, a picture book that encourages children's imagination in "reviving" the characters from the picture book can be created.
