When researching into postcards I started by finding some images that I like. I wanted to find vintage postcards and start to work forward to the future. I think the idea of a postcard is usually seen as a happy thing and what I want to do is flip that narrative make something that feels out of place. As well as this create a comedic idea.
These vintage cards interest me a lot. I love how bright they are and how 'look at me I'm in this amazing place' they seem. The way they tried to cram in as much about the place they could on one piece of card makes the postcard seem crammed and I really like how that looks.
A very old, famous ppstcard artist I looked into is Katheryn Elliott.
Her work is very romantic in look however to me they give off a very eerie feeling. The main reason I looked at her work was to get an idea of what postcards should be, I want to try and find what postcards are and should be and change it to be more twisted and perhaps hateful.
