This poster was inspired by the dark original version of the tale 'Snow White'. The queen, however envious and evil she may be, still takes her fate willingly when sent to death for her evil deeds. The magic mirror only rewards the queen with the status of 'fairest of all' when she has 'killed' the beautiful Snow White. So the red font of 'fairest' seemed very appropriate, concerning the underhanded and bloodied ways in which she obtained such title. Though this took me quite a few trials to perfect, it was well worth it for this result. Compared to the Saul Bass poster, this is much more realistic and is more appropriate for a darker type of Snow White, as it is in the original. The Saul Bass is simpler and holds a lighter feel to it, whilst mine is more realistic alike to the original Grimm fairytale. Mine also has a perspective of the wicked queen, whilst Saul Bass's does not address it in his simple design.
