JON REINFURT: FAIRY TALE PROJECT

November 9, 2011

Jon Reinfurt had the pleasure of working with Common Ground magazine on a large assignment that featured several cautionary community maintenance stories; the AD wanted to tie them all together with a fairy tale theme.

The assignment included the cover, inside full page feature opener and three quarter-page illustrations. After seeing the sketches, the AD thought it would be fun to treat the cover of the magazine like the cover of a fairy tale book, above. Then inside, the opening illustration would look like the title page of a chapter book, below.

The three spot illustrations all used various fairy tale characters to highlight the three main articles and tie everything together in a nice neat package.

I’m usually trying to pitch ideas like these to clients so it was a real treat to have the AD come to me with the theme already in place,” says Jon. “The ultimate payoff was getting to draw a chainsaw wielding fairy – so awesome!”
