Having chosen to make this a smaller brief that is somewhat like a break from the others - My intention was to not spend very long on each piece.

The idea behind this one was to create an image based around the subheading 'RIP Golden Age of Hollywood'.

It is very literal, I am aware of this - but my feeling is that the illustration should support the article and inform the reader what is about rather than be so far-fetched that it just looks like a pretty picture in the middle of some words.

As it was about hollywood, I started with the idea of funerals you see on American shows where they have a big picture of the deceased at the front, surrounded by flowers - and then I just needed to communicate that it was 'The Golden Age' of Hollywood that was being referred to as the deceased.

I did vectorise all the different components and when it all came together, I thought it worked quite well.
