Mad Hatter Posters


Just a collection of images of various poster/poster layouts regarding a mad hatters tea party/vintage tea party themed event. Teapots or tophats seem to be the main feature with these posters, I can't really do a top hat this time though since that was the main image in the last summer show poster design. So teapot may be a good focus point.

Mad Hatters Tea Party - Influencial Illustrations

Whilst doing my initial research I found some illustrations I really loved and could see from my initial development work could be something I could attempt for my work. Having done simple line drawings before it's a nice and simple progression for colour. It would be good to scan in and paint over maybe?

I found this illustrator when looking for artist interpretations of alice. I love her darker images and the attention to detail to her characters. I do also like the fact that sme of them are quite simple coloured line drawings but it looks really effective in her digital outcomes! Especially the glow of the mushrooms and ghostly cheshire cat. She's got a great colour palette which again would be something I'd aspire to do in my work.

Really beautiful dreamlike images from this artist. You can see some ofthe Thai influences within his artwork, since that's where the artist was born, it's definitely evident from the beautiful birds, but not so much when it comes to the darker images. The rendered images are lovely, and again simple line drawing involved within the artwork.
