For my fairy tale reimagined I will be using The Three Snake Leaves. This is a story about magical snake leaves. I want the drawings to be fairly simple but still indicative of which character is who. I would love to use a simple color palette as well, and am planning on using one that I found on Adobe Color which has two shades of green, a yellow, dark grey, and a cream color. Something that always stands out to me in other people’s projects is a strong sense of design and color palette, so I want to accomplish that as much as I can while still trying a different type of design than I have used in the past.
I’m debating using words on screen, verbally spoken story, or both. I want to make sure it’s accessible, as I like having words on the screen despite being able to hear. I also want to make sure the story is mostly kept true to itself. I’m debating changing the story more to be more modern. It is also important to keep the story simple, as the original story has far more details than are needed in the time I have allotted. Because the story is pretty dark, I don’t want the characters to be dark as well. Because it’s a fairy tale reimagined and it is in theory for children, I don’t want the whole mood to be depressing and want the characters to be cute and simple.
I’m still debating backgrounds and music, but if they are added I want to make sure they don’t distract from the main characters/story.
