Title: Tom Clancy and a fairytale~
Post by: Grafikal on February 10, 2009, 11:22:41 PM

I need 5 ideas. Purpose being, a book cover. What would a book cover look like if Tom Clancy (or any adult author) rewrote some common children stories like The Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood or anything else a long those lines.

I currently have 1 solid idea. lol. It involves Little Red Riding Hood and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. Actually anything I keep thinking of includes the Splinter Cell ._.

Spoiler for Idea 1:

Author: Tom Clancy, Story: Little Red Riding Hood
~The foreground would be a dark forest and the wolf in a splinter cell get up hiding behind a tree on the side that faces the reader, while in the middle ground, a small path is illuminated with little red riding hood walking along it, then background is just more dark forest and maybe a small house.

Spoiler for Idea 2:

Author: John Grisham, Story: Goldilocks and the 3 Bears:
~Foreground: would be Goldilocks sleeping in a retardedly small bed.
~Middle ground: nothing much, just space from middle to middle-background.
~Middle-Background: start of the jury's stand and a the front of a court room.
~Background: Papa Bear as judge, Baby Bear as witness, Mama Bear as jury.
~set kind of dark as well

You obviously haven't read much Tom Clancy.

Go for the huge developing plot into like "Terrorists have hijacked (x) amount of missles and are planning to blow up grandmothers forest if you and your (x) team mates infiltrate his covert ops base, lethal force not authorized."

This is true.

Also, I'm not writing anything. I'm just taking the feel or genre from any adult author and applying it to a fairy tale. Then designing a book cover based on the newly rewritten fairy tale.

Just take any fairy tale, add about 800 pages to it, bog it down with needless technological detail, and put a silhouette on the cover.
