Grimm - darker side of fairy tales

The subject and the idea of this final thesis is based on illustrating brothers Grimm’s fairytales in their original and slightly morbid edition. Fairytales like Cinderella and Red Riding Hood, and those less known are compiled in a book collection with associated illustrations. Given that it is about evoking something old, lost, and even forgotten, such as books and stories, and transposing it into a contemporary expression, book design is a contemporary contrast to the content. Grimm’s fairytales carry archetypal meanining within themselves, personifications that are always current which allows the creation of contemporary illustrations and applying them in the present. For it to be more accessible to a greater number of readers, text in the books, and all other supporting materials is written in English language.
