The Peacock -- Aesop's Fables Poster

The fable, "The Peacock," is about a peacock who asks the Juno for beautiful feathers. He is granted these feathers, and shows off his beauty to the other animals. He then sees an eagle fly overhead, and he tries to fly with him but is unable because of his flamboyant feathers. The moral of the story is that one should never give up his freedom for pomp and show.
I tried to illustrate this by showing the eagle above the banner with flying birds surrounding him. The peacock is shown below the banner, because he is trapped on the ground since he cannot fly. He is surrounded by his beautiful feathers. The border of the poster is made up of feathers or a representation of wind, and I chose to have a representation of wind because when an eagle flies, he feels the wind on his wings.
