More visual research/inspiration

These are some sciencey poster designs by illustrator and designer Pete Oswald for Flint's bedroom in Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. I love how fun/eye catching they look, how the scientists are stylised but you can still recognise them and how textured these posters are. I want my outcomes to be quite stylised and fun/playful like these posters - makes me want to try and stylise Marie Curie in her laboratory, busy experimenting or holding a lab glassware full of her glowing radium potion or proudly showing her Nobel Prizes (or something like that).

Found this in a book, but I forgot the name of it:
Marie Curie's side profile made out of the letters in her name?

I love this side profile by Adam Hancher, its so simple yet it is so charming. The colours all compliment each other and again, like Oswald's work, I am loving the painterly texture he's added to his clean cut shapes which gives it this really nice handcrafted quality. It looks like he's done the pattern shapes on illustrator/with the pen tool because its looks so smooth and clean and then added the texture on photoshop. I also quite like this idea for the poster - profile of Marie Curie with patterns of things associated with her, inside it. I shall have to give both Oswald and Hancher's art style a try.

I saw these playing card designs and I thought they would look quite nice as stamps. Really simple but they also look really attractive - maybe I could do something similar but with things that are related to Marie Curie instead of the hearts and clubs etc. and use the Marie Curie Cancer Care colour palette to keep it looking like a set with the postcards?
