Title: Aesop’s Fables: The Fox and the Grapes
Description: This is one of the pages I made for a mini pop-up booklet for my Graphic Design V class. I went for a more old-timey monochromatic look with this piece. We were not able to create the pop-up effect due to the circumstances of the pandemic, so I tried to compromise by making the style more “3D”.
