Life in the 1950s

Using adverts in newspapers as a reference I drew these women for a display I did for 'Life in the 1950s'. I love the fashions from this period. I felt the display needed something colourful as there was a quite a few black and white photos and I thought these really made the panel look a little more eye catching.

                           I also drew the logo for the 'Festival of Britain' that took place in 1951.
