LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AKA RED

the first fairy tale in this collection is an old classic inspired by Little Red Riding Hood - I went through a few concepts before settling on this style inspired by one of my favourite illustrators and animated series.

I wanted to use simple shapes and colours to draw in the reader and help them to explore the themes presented before them - ‘What is she looking at’ ‘What does the red represent’ ‘ is she in danger’.

ALICE: A HOUSE DIVIDED

This book cover concept was inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

To help me design the cover I first identified the twist that I would like to bring to this story ‘a house divided’ Then I created a moldboard to help me visualise all the visual cues that stem from Alice in wonderland and the new title.

i explored the themes further with a few sketches and drafted up the two sketches that appealed to me the most - again i wanted something simple and easy to read visually, which i feel i have attained with this concept. if you’d like to see the other version let me know !
