Contest Brief

Hi wonderful designers and illustrators

I'm in charge of getting the leaving present made for our staff member Helen. Helen has been working at Write (my organisation) for 13 wonderful years, she's very special to us and we want to make her something she'll be able to keep forever!

We've decided to make a flippy book of illustrations and words that describe Helen (see flippy book attachment for the basic concept). Helen’s had lots of memorable looks over the years!

There will be four illustrations of Helen, and each with be divided equally into three parts -- the head, the body, and the legs/feet. When we get it printed, the pages will be cut and you’ll be able to mix and match the outfits. As they're divided equally, the heads and necks will be large, bodies small — with tiny waist, and legs long.

Image one (inspiration pic one attached)
Head: shoulder length brown hair, purple witches hat
Body: Black and purple wrap dress, hands doing a spell – long painted fingernails
Shoes: Purple books, and a black cat at her feet

Image two (inspiration pic 2)
Head: long black hair with hairband (back-combed Priscilla Presley look) – balloons and disco ball
Body: blue strapless dress, dancing arms
Shoes: black boots, spotlights

Image three (inspiration pic three)
Head: chin length curled blonde hair
Body: red dress with draped bodice, holding a mic and a piece of paper
Shoes: red high heels

Image four (inspiration pic four)
Head: straight red hair, little fringe – needs very warm eyes in this one
Body: black and white polka dot dres with red sash, holding a cup of tea
Shoes: high-heeled lace up brogues, black and red

We will also need four images of words. These will be more simple than the outfit pictures. The words will match up next to each outfit, but should be on separate images. I've attached a word file called 'Helen illustration suggestions', it has the words we need. You can be as creative or simple as you like with the font.
Other attachments

I've attached some photos of Helen, so you can see her features better. She's really gorgeous, big grey-blue eyes and small nose, great smile.

So to recap. I'll be looking for four details illustrations, and four less detailed designs for the words. If they could be .JPG format that would be idea.
I’ll answer any questions in the comments.

We’re on a tight timeframe, so we’re excited to see what you talented people can come up with!
