DESCRIPTION Student Project. Mother Holle is a classic fairytale from the Brothers Grimm Collection. This project reimagines the classic tale for the 21st century with a new storybook cover and character illustrations. The mystical nature of the story is captured on the cover with sparkling elements. Significant parts of the story are represented as elements throughout, pulling on the symbolism of the feather in the story and the main character being transported into another world after falling down a well. Handlettering of the words “Mother Holle” add a whimsy and child-like element to the cover. Bold, contrasting colors and mysterious silhouettes are used to draw readers in as they scan the bookshelves for their next favorite fairytale.
