Image// Self initiated brief: Design approach research..

I have started looking into existing design that relates to Ladybirds that I find inspiring and feel would help me to develop initial design ideas.

I am wanting to keep my design approach similar to that of the postcards I submitted to the book fair. I traced images I found on Google images in Illustrator and added a texture. They had a hand drawn feel to them even though they were digital. I think I would like to experiment with simplifying them a bit, as I feel this will be more appropriate to my target audience.
