The videogame 'Fallout 3' is full of 1950's style artwork and in particular full of artwork based upon the 'Vault Boy' character. I really love the style of it and is a main inspiration for wanting to choose 1950's style illustrations as a reference.
Ive been looking on the internet to find out how actually made this vintage style art, but I cant find a name. The company who made the game are Bethesda.
Anyway as I have said, I really love the style of these pictures. I like the bold outlines and the flat colours which make for simple but bold illustrations that would work really well in a set of instructions. The boy character looks very 1960's due to the styled hair and the way be is drawn. The proportions are very cartoon like and his expression exaggerated. This looks just like the characters from the previous vintage style illustrations even though they were created nowadays.
This style of character would fit well in my instructions and could be there to show how a child would interact with the Tinman toy. It would also give the young audience someone to relate to in the illustrations, making it more appealing maybe.
