The life credo of the American web designer Christian Jackson is "All the power is in the details." So, it is the memorable details from the favorite children's books that became the basis for the amusing laconic posters. Minimalist pictures could well grace the covers of new editions of Alice in Wonderland, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The Princess and the Pea, The Adventures of Pinocchio, Rapunzel and The Three Little Pigs.
2, 5 years ago, a child was born to a web designer living in Chicago, Christian Jackson, after which the whole family remembered their childhood and plunged into the world of fairy tales. One day a young father had the idea to draw minimalist posters for recently re-read children's books. And then everything started spinning.
Creating laconic posters for your favorite children's books is a difficult task. But since the idea has arisen, it makes no sense to abandon it, because it still will not leave the artist alone. If in some cases Christian Jackson quickly found a detail that would become the face of a fairy tale, in other situations he had many equal options, from which he had to choose for a long time.
The witty works of Christian Jackson quickly flew around the World Wide Web and gained popularity. In terms of the number of views on the Internet, the poster for "The Princess and the Pea" is in the lead: in the minimalistic picture from the whole fairy tale, one pea remained under a multi-layered feather bed.
Christian Jackson says that many viewers were puzzled by the poster for The Wizard of Oz, especially the minimalistic incarnation of the Cowardly Lion. The problem is that he dreamed of gaining courage for himself, which cannot be portrayed in any way. I had to draw a lion's face in the form of an inverted heart, which began to look very harmonious on the poster.
