Ideas for front cover

  • Large illustration of vintage pin-up girl, similar to previous Vintage Directory covers.
    It would allow good insight into how well I can execute such an illustration when following an identity or regular trend.
  • A group of girls from their own eras, wearing invidual outfits from their time period. E.G.: Flapper girl, Victorian lady, 50's retro pin-up, war wife...etc. All in the same room; perhaps in a vintage boutique, applying make-up or posing. They will be rendered in the same hand-painted style, although I could experiment with other techniques.
  • Vertical strips of retro patterns filling the entire cover: pin-stripe, polka-dot, lace, floral, gingham...etc. This idea would advertise all eras researched for the issue, rather than one specific era.
  • Vector or digital illustration of a vintage girl: applying a modern touch to an old fashion.
  • Art Nouveau-style lady with elaborate border and Victorian decoration, in the style of Alphonse Mucha and Echo Chernik.
  • Portrait of vintage style icon such as Elizabeth Taylor or Twiggy - rendered with pencil or paints.
