Imagination vs. Reality Series
Barnes & Noble Classics Book Series
Barnes & Noble Classics Book Series
OPPORTUNITY
Create a series of four books from the Barnes & Noble Classics collection and redesign the covers to create a cohesive whole.
SOLUTION
The message conveyed through this series is “Reality is based on opinion, not on truth.” The books in this series present the idea of the characters being so caught in their imagination that they begin to believe it is reality. All of the characters possess a child-like innocence, allowing them to get easily lost in their imaginations. The books included in the series are: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, and Don Quixote. Each character was photographed as an ordinary type of person, the way the world would normally see them. Illustrations in the style of child-like line drawings were then added onto thephotographs to reference how a child might draw themselves to be. The color palette brings another level of a child-like innocence and simplicity to the series.
