I'm designing with 1950s influences, I'm buying 1950s furniture and accessories, I'm writing an essay about the 50s, my hard drive is dominated by Mad Men, (ok, so this series is about the 60s but it still counts).
It'll be interesting to see how my work evolves whilst I bask myself in 50s paraphernalia. I bought some gorgeous old National Geographic mags from the 50s a couple of weeks ago and I've been playing around with illustrations and type that have interested me. In particular I like this little girl I drew and finished with oil pastels. I then drew a model from Style mag but tried to give it a 1950s feel. I'm liking the look and feel but it's still work in progress.
