This is just a taste of what you can do using Photoshop and Flash. My dear friend, Marie who has been a graphic designer for many years put this children’s story out recently. Check out how she so creatively turned real photographs into beautiful, and whimsical illustrations by using a pressure tablet to “paint” layers over the photographs. Of course, putting it all into flash to create the allusion of a real book turning pages and adding the audio just added the finishing touches to make this a true masterpiece!

The Princess & the Pea

Now, this didn’t happen overnight. In order to produce something of this quality, you have to spend a good amount of  TIME and pay close attention to details. That is why artwork and truly great design work can be so expensive.

If you have young girls at home still, I would definitely recommend checking this out. I’m sure they will love this sweet rendition of  the classic fairytale of the Princess and the Pea. This will be published in hard copy version, Lord willing, shortly as well. Right now, you can watch and listen to the story being read, and you can download a pdf version of the story from the link given above.
