Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhymes

The focus of my work was to depict contemporary versions of the popular characters from both the classical fairy tales and nursery rhymes. Ultimately becoming a project about the power of combining text with imagery, my original objective was to produce a mixture of newspaper and magazine covers that showed the figures as if they existed in real life today; with a definite nod to how the original characters were depicted.

The completed work consisted of the front and back covers' to a tabloid newspaper, a men's adult magazine and a weekly gossip paper.
