This is part of a project I undertook a few years back. The idea was to work in groups to create a storyline with several characters, all of whom would be connected in some way. I've always been interested in the styles of the thirties and forties so I chose to focus on a sumariner and a woman from a story in Vogue from 1945.

The pictures on this page can be quite big. If you click on them they will open up in a new window. the first one is a cover from a really, really old "Woman's Own" magazine. The second is a mock- showing the two designs in a journalistic context. Then there's another montage, this time showing a collection of cuttings and cartoons from fashion magazines in the forties. The fourth picture is someone's idea of a joke and the fifth is an imitation of an old-style fashion magazine, displaying two of my original drawings.
