Postcard sketch
Johns Hopkins was a wealthy philanthropist, whereas Billie Holiday was a struggling musician. I am imagining a relationship between these two individuals, even though they are from different generations. The postcard on the top will feature 3 scenes, like that of a postcard from a place. The border will or background will have scans of crinkled up money. This postcard represents what Johns Hopkins wants Billie Holiday to do with her talent and fame. The other postcard, however, is what Billie Holiday ultimately does with her talent and fame- that is waste away in drugs and alcohol. The bottom postcard has a picture of looking down into a bottle. The design is going to come out in sort of waves or petals, like a beautiful flower- to show how amazing Billie Holiday's talent was, but the details show how she sometimes did not make the best decisions. Holiday only had abusive males in her life, so this is imagining Johns Hopkins as a strong male figure, who sees how amazing Holiday is.
