My second idea for the Vintage Directory cover is to have all four characters independently on separate covers, reading the directory in their periodic situe.
Edwardian lady: Reading the directory at home on a lounger.
20's flapper girl: Reading the directory at an Art Deco-style bar.
50's housewife: Reading the directory at the kitchen table.
60's mod girl: Reading the directory at a cafe.
Rendering technique:
Influenced by the techniques of Tove Jansson (see previous post). Black line with shading detail and block black, yellow and red colour (primary colours). I feel this gives a retro vibe as the Jansson's illustrations were produced in the 40s and 50s. It also reminds me of the 1920's constructivism art movement of predominantly red, white, black and yellow flat colours. I hope, by rendering the covers in this way, they will look old-fashioned and dated.
