I've collected some of the examples of the artwork used for 2-Tone releases. For the animation I was considering reproducing some of these covers, using illustration and collage. However I am now thinking that if I make use of the original images then I can concentrate more on how they can come together, using the separate elements. I think it would also be interesting for the target audience to see some of the original artwork, some of which now are now valuable collectables. You can see from the covers that predominately the colour scheme is black and white, although there are examples where colour is used.
The type used is quite varied, however most of the examples are similar in the fact that the type is very bold and solid. Some choose to use a typeface which appears hand crafted or stencils, but the protagonists use a type face that seems to be computer generated. I need to consider this when choosing my own typeface.
Although some of the covers use illustrations, the majority make use of photography which has been produced at low quality. I may use this sort of technique when tackling how to represent news bulletins.
