My favorite fairy tale has always been Cinderella since I was little and I’ve always enjoyed fairy tale stories and they’re new versions over the years. So naturally, I’d be interested in this project right on the spot. Also, last semester I took a Children’s Literature class, which for a part time we concentrated on children’s fairy tales. However, they were not made up to be told children; but for adults and to entertain the listening audience. And the versions that are told now are not what they used to be at all. The Grimm’s Brothers has written several versions of Cinderella, but each one is more censored than the last. I chose the most recent version.
There are several symbols in the story of Cinderella that represent all sorts of details that had been censored for children. My goal with these postcards was to emphasize on the symbols that are from the Grimm’s Brothers version, but incorporate the fluff and puff of what appeals children to fairy tales. Such as, pastel/light colors and glitter. I kept each postcard really simple and consistency is really important in my design. However, I didn’t want so much consistency to where each card doesn’t have its own individuality.
