Following the theme of fairytale, we looked at other stories where there is a 'fantasy boy' character which have their happy endings. The ones we decided on (In order going down) are Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and Beauty and the Beast. We hoped that through the positioning of the women, they would look like they were the main focus of the picture suggesting a modern view on the portrayal of women. The men in these images are still the heroes, yet they have a more passive role in these images. We used images that would be most recognizable to an audience as we intended to modernize them and only use silhouettes. The images below are a plan of what we would like our Digi-pack covers to look like. We continued with our colour scheme of pink and black as it represents female pop-rock artists in our opinion. At the top we considered having the name of the album and the band's name 'Mia-Mae' at the bottom.
Above is our modern interpretation, we intend for the man to have a head as this is just a plan. The converse matched our colour scheme and also showed our theme of fairytale modernized to the 21st century romance.
Above, we have sleeping beauty, the way which we modernized the bed by not having the large grand bed in which she has often been portrayed. Equally, she is a natural sleeping position whereas in many interpretations she is laying on her back which we thought made her look too much like an object.
Above has been taken from the story of Rapunzel. This image corresponds to that of our website and is the only one which meets the usual expectations of a classic fairytale. This suggests that there is still the side of romance which is represented by chivalry.
Here we have Beauty and the Beast. In the story, the beast is protective over the rose and allows no one to come near it. In our image, both characters are of equal distance from the rose leaning towards it, besides removing the idea of his power of hers, the rose, similarly to the story represents the romantic side of the song which isn't considered much anywhere else as we feel it isn't a major theme in the song.
