Two Illustration for Liberty Magazine - T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt design celebrates the iconic covers of Liberty magazine, a window into American life from the 1920s and 30s. The artwork features two distinct illustrations, reminiscent of the vibrant and engaging covers that graced the publication.

The design evokes a sense of optimism and the pursuit of goals, reflecting the hopes and dreams of the era. The color palette, echoing the vintage covers, brings a nostalgic charm.

The second design takes inspiration from Thrasher's "And Why Not?" cover (April 7, 1928). This artwork portrays Lil and Sandy dreaming about their baby's future, highlighting the themes of family and domestic life. The design’s focus is on the warmth and imaginative capacity, illustrated by a cozy fire. The imagery exemplifies the optimistic humor and sentimentality that was common in Liberty magazine’s illustrations. The overall tone is playful and hopeful, creating a feeling of joyful anticipation.
Symbolism
The combined designs symbolize a rich tapestry of American life during the early to mid-20th century. They embody the everyday experiences, values, and aspirations of the period.
