Good month everyone! :)
For a while now I've posted up the Bon Bon Maison series of flyers I've been doing where I create a fairytale image each month for the flyer. Just thought I'd post up the latest design for everyone to peep!! All comments, as always, welcome...

and as a reminder, here's last months... (without the "book" style back, as this version was for their night in Sheffield)..

This series of work is very inspirational!
I've finally steered the boss (or he's finally found the "new" direction) to experiment a bit more. So hopefully I'll be able to start designing things like this again.
Another great set!

the images are all made from stock photography that is cut up and heavily edited with various filters and effects applied and a lot of manual shading and highlighting.
You can see the original background image of the forest here...

Is it the witches candy house from Hansel and Gretel because it's Halloween coming up? Very fitting for Bon bon maison! :)

nice stuff Alex!
One thing on your newest piece. the hair of the woman is kinda contrasty to the background. the rest of her looks great, but from the hair/head alone you can tell its been photoshopped in there.
Great stuff though! Love the open book idea.

re: hansel and gretel house
