Using scanned textures from my sketchbook I played around with the layer styles on Photoshop to try and find a combination that worked.
Potential layer styles for texture layer
- Screen (low opacity)
- Lighter colour
- Soft light
- Divide
These all gave quite a similar effect and they all had one thing in common - they made the colour pale and soft. The brief specified that they don't want too much black so part-way through I decided to colour my outlines and use paler colours as fills. This instantly made the designs more 'baby friendly'.
The last two slides show the style I am going for. A coloured outline partially filled with a paler colour with an overplayed texture (screen layer). It's a simple process that will be easily repeatable.
