Design Statement

Fairy tales are a traditional thing usually associated with children but Grimm's Fairy Tales are not always comforting stories with happy endings. For this book, I decided to take a traditional design in bookbinding, the Cambridge Panel, and put a dark spin on it to create a sense of unease.
