We had to produce an illustration of a person sitting in a chair surrounded by artefacts of the 1950s.
I decided to use some of the photographs I had collected to produce the illustration. I did a couple of rough sketches-A4 size, to get an idea for the final illustration. I included all of the areas, transport, TV and film, interiors, architecture, people and costume.
I painted the final illustration in acrylic paint to give it a colourful feel, even though a lot of the photographs I had, where black-and-white.
I enjoyed this exercise, discovering things I did not know about the 1950s, especially how this country has evolved from that time, and how many things are now coming back into fashion, labelled as' vintage'.
I produced an A3 size illustration for this as I felt it would be better at this size so that you could identify the items easily.
However, the original illustration I produced, I was not happy with, so I redid the exercise, producing an illustration with a different layout, which I felt fulfilled the brief that was given.
In conclusion, sometimes it is better if you are not happy with something, then it is always worth going back over what you have done and the instructions that you have been given.
