Hi, this is a book cover design I entered into Penguin design awards for their children competition, Puffin Books. The book which required the cover was Grimms Fairy Tales. I would like to get your opinion on how it all looks. Here is my brief description.
'Dream Catchers are a fascinating tradition. The traditional dream catcher was intended to protect the sleeping individual from negative dreams, whilst letting positive dreams through. The positive dreams would slip through the central hole and glide down the feathers to the sleeper below. The negative dreams however, would get caught up in the web and expire on the first ray of sunlight. I feel the tales are quite mystical and set in a fantasy land. Within dreams anything is possible, much like these stories. To show the dreams/tales I vectored a web to literally capture the title of the book, the dark background is also used to set the mood and feel of the stories.'
If you like it, can you please appreciate it on my behance. Thank you if you do.
