Fig 22 Wee Wisdom



Wee Wisdom... A magazine for Boys & Girls Printed in November 1957
This magazine was found in pristine condition with all the pages - my favorite being
"This Is Francie" I have always wanted to design something like this, the hours I had as a little girl trying to make my own. Im loving Francie's style might try it myself this week, that little red coat and cable knit jumper will be in my wardrobe for sure, this autumn.

Fig 21 At The Fair



I found this little sun bleached number while rooting around the 'Treasure Chest' with my sister, I was firstly drawn to the colours they reminded me of the clapboard houses which lined the streets of San Francisco on a hot summers day. And secondly the nature of the illustrations which are very cute and have a great graphic composition my favorite page being the tightrope.
