"Baseball MAgazine" covers

This magazine ran from the early 1900's to the mid 1950's and was the foremost magazine devoted to popular baseball and baseball news. The style changed a fair amount unsurprisingly as it ran through two world wars and 5 decades. The style that Im most interested in here is the 1950's covers that have a really simple and bold design style that I might want to take through to my designs for the baseball brief.

"Baseball"

This is the original released album cover for the Say Anything album "Baseball". The image doesn't seem to have any correlation to the title of the album, which is a fairly standard trend for album covers in an alternative genre. When compared to the other album covers, this one is definitely the least relevant to the music content or the title of the album.

Strong Stuff

"Strong Stuff" is the design company of illustrator and designer Tom Whalen. He has a minimalist illustration style with a really cartoony feel which fits perfectly to all of his work, especially the Disney posters below.

Matthew Woodson

Woodson is almost exclusively an illustrator from southern Indiana. He has a really kinda of realistic style to illustration and most of his work is really impressively detailed. It holds a comic book style but in much more detail, and then some of his work is kind of reminiscent of editorial design. It is not much a style that I really use or want to include in my briefs, but impressive nonetheless.

James Jean

James Jean is an illustrator and designer born in Taiwan who lives and works in California. His style ranges a lot, but always focusses around some kind of illustration, almost always a human figure or animal (rarely completely abstract).
