Narrative and Genre [| Edit][| 24][|…] I turned this story about two unlikely friends into a fairytale. I took the title of "Romeo and Juliet" and I morphed the names into the character/animal. Rurfferomeo is the dog character who is supposed to be the prince in the story. The name mixes Romeo and how a dog barks. "Ruff"!!! The Elepheret name of course mixes Juliet with an elephant. What I did to make the background is that I found a picture of the grass and sky. Then I found the other pictures also (mountains, tower,dog,elephant,flowers,hair,and crown.) Turned them into layers and placed them where they needed to go in my picture. Then I titled it using the text and I choose the color to correlate with the flowers around that I layered into a border. I made the crown,hair, and flowers smaller so then they would fit into the desired space with the correct sizes. I wanted to turn this story into a fairytale because when I first watched the story I found it very fun and uplifting like fairytales. This story is your traditional story about a princess and a prince that have a "Once upon a time..." and a "Happily ever after." I had fun changing this story into a fun cartoon like cover!
 * Assignment**:

 * Think about what the cover of a book or CD might be if each was recreated as another genre. **Guiding Questions:** What color background would you use? What text? What style font and what color for the text would you use? Where would the text be placed? What would be the subject matter of any pictures and what style pictures would you need to use? What would be the setting for the picture? What size would the picture be compared to the text? You might want to go to Amazon.com to look at book covers and CD covers for ideas.
