Cover for Romeo and Rosaline Juliet, drawn as red stage curtains. Front reads “Romeo + Rosaline”, the back of Romeo can be seen writing “Juliet”, and “Rosaline” has been crossed out.  “Gabriella Wilde” is also written on the front. Mock reviews fill the back: “ “Alright, I guess…” - Romeo”, “ 5 stars - Benvoli-oh”, “ “Couldn’t have said it better myself!” - W. Shakespeare”, “ “Smart, witty and powerful” - G. Wilde”. The other characters line the edges of the back, staring at a hand in shock, anger, and embarrassment.

Romeo and Juliet
Left: Romeo holds up a phone in one hand, making finger guns with the other. Text reads: “ “Juliet! My love, my light, I am your ONLY! (Please swipe right!) I know our families rage and fight, but will you be with me tonight?” “ Right: Juliet leans out of her window, face supported by her hands. Text reads: “ “Romeo! You silly fool!” But her pre-teen angst can’t help but drool. “How can we love? Where would we meet? Why must this rose smell so sweet?” “
Left: Rosaline stands in a diminishing spotlight. Text reads: “ “This forceful love, it makes me sick! That man’s no rose, he’s just a prick!” But Rosaline’s no longer in this story… Let’s leave her here and get more gory…” Right: Mercutio and Tybalt comically fighting. Text reads: “Montagues and Capulets are seen here fighting, as a result of the Capulets’ Romeo sighting. Unfazed, on the other side of town, a secret wedding is going down.”
Narrative
Mixed media illustration, using black biro, orange, black, and pink watercolours, orange coloured pencil, and digital painting, with a grey, textured, digitally painted background. On the left hand side, the pumpkin carriage is travelling down a path, pulled by 2 small mice. Text follows the shape of the path, reading: “Cinderella made her way to the ball, she had no excuses after all.” in a hand-drawn typeface. On the right hand side, is a close up of the pumpkin carriage. Cinderella is struggling to climb out of the carriage, covered in pumpkin gunk. The text reads: “When she arrived, the music was thumping, she could feel it as she squeezed out of her pumpkin.”
A girl in a yellow raincoat and wellies stands frozen in shock in front of a large, hairy creature with horns.
