Vintage Poster for an Arctic Island

Travel & Hotel

We are a heritage site and working island farm in the north of Iceland. The island is a place of extreme natural beauty on the fringe of the Arctic. We have 10,000 visitors a year to the island who come to see the Eider Ducks nesting - as well as puffin, guillemot, Arctic Terns, seals and whales. We also have some of Iceland's oldest buildings, its oldest working boat and its only windmill. Our visitors are mostly international guests from cruise ships but also domestic tourists.

We would like a vintage-look poster to sell in our shop. We'd prefer illustration rather than images to give it that vintage feel we are after. Eider Ducks are the star of our island so the poster must feature predominantly Eider Ducks but we are open to whether the poster features only Eider Ducks or some of our other attractions too (Puffins, Guillemots, Terns, seals, the windmill which is very distinctive, whale flukes etc). 'Vigur Island' must be on the poster somewhere but we are open to other wording being included (or not) - for example our location (66N), our country (Iceland) or our slogan (An Arctic Paradise) or any other phrases/information. The purpose of the poster is not particularly to advertise information, we just want something really striking and beautiful that our visitors will want to take home with them to remind themselves of a beautiful place they have visited. Our instinct is that this will be a bold colour poster but we wouldn't rule out other options if there is a really good alternative idea. Despite our Arctic location we would like the poster to depict summertime - so snow is fine on background mountains etc but we are not looking for a winter scene.

I have included in the brief some posters that inspired us - this is the sort of vintage style we are after (although the content and context is quite different). I have also included some images of the island in case you want to include any elements such as the windmill or buildings or cliffs/beaches/rocks as well as the Eider Ducks
