The imagery used for this print was quite minimal and used limited details to create line art. It was decided to use these in order to link with the simple illustrations typically found on aircraft leaflets and safety cards, which cannot be too complicated so that they can be understood and followed clearly in case of an emergency. I used this aesthetic to produce illustrations such as that of Robert Blackburn himself, his work and the event location. This was then accompanied with relevant information, such as the models of aircraft used, materials, flight destinations and aircraft specifications.
The colour scheme was modified in order to fit with this instruction card aesthetic, which used bold colours such as yellow and red to convey a sense of urgency as well as making the instructions clear and direct. This design therefore uses the colours of black, red and yellow to communicate information surrounding the chosen events. The off-white background colour has been paired with these colours to represent the era of these events, giving the prints a ‘rustic’ element.
