Here are some of the illustrations I looked at before settling on the style that I wanted to do. I really like mid century illustration and thought it would be fun to incorporate in this video. Although I would like to add textures, I wasn't sure how to add them well in After Effects so I thought its best to stick to a clean yet stylised direction.

I love this illustration - it's one of the projects from Skillshare that I am enrolled in. I would love to do this but I have no idea how it would work as an animation, only in Photoshop. It would also be a brand new skill to learn which I don't have the time for

Again, I love this textured illustration and it is a direction that I really want to explore, but I just don't think I can incorporate it into this project

Love the use of no outlines and bright colours. I think the imperfect shapes work really well too - although simple it is easy to recognise

This is a similar style, and it is something that I can definitely work to and use within animation as it is simple and clean yet still has that vintage look

These are getting more detailed, and although I really like, I think it might be too much for this project - with regards to both expertise and time

I love the limited colour palette here, which is something I aim to use as it keeps things simple - one of the points in my animation

I love the use of strokes here to add elements to the design rather than just blocks which is something that I would like to try in the devleopment stages

As with the previous example, this uses outlines to add an extra dimension to the illustration which I think looks really well and adds more detail without much more work
