From Rapunzel to The Little Red Riding Hood, Beloved Children’s Classics as Minimalist Posters

Visual hyper-distillation of iconic storytelling.

By Maria Popova

As a lover of children’s books, especially classic ones with timeless wisdom for grown-ups, and an admirer of minimalist posters that distill complex stories or ideas in clean graphic elements, I am infinitely delighted by these hyper-minimalist takes on beloved children’s classics by designer Christian Jackson.

Positively the most delightful children’s classic remix since The Little Red Riding Hood infographic animation.
