Illustration personalised for 50th birthday

Design details: Overview synopsis:
• Female will be 50.
• She has been working through a bucket list and on it was to visit Cuba which she is doing the week after her birthday.
• She is married and has 2 grown up daughters.
• She loves the tv programme ‘strictly come dancing’ so has arranged for her work colleagues to have a dance class as part of her birthday celebrations.
• She supports Manchester United, but her husband supports Manchester City.
• She has worked for the Co-op all her working life so has been there for over 30 years, she was a leading manager in setting up the Co-operative Membership Scheme.
• She has a busy social life and even though she looks like a classy wine drinker she prefers to drink a pint of lager.

The key points we would like to incorporate are:
• Main subjects in salsa dance pose - female outfit will be United red and male shirt will be City blue (the colours will represent their respective football teams.
• Daughters possibly playing Cuban guitars or as a panel of dance judges
• Blue & Red to identify football teams (bullet point 1)
• Cuban flavour to identify her holiday – palm trees, club, beach, colour.
• Salsa dancing to bring in her personality and love of dance
• Co-operative Membership Card
• Faces are not to be ‘caricature’ but can reflect key features i.e. blond straight bob and glasses /husband bald head.
• Pint of lager
• Cuban tiles with name or nightclub sign ‘Havana Nightclub’

Optional points we would like to incorporate are:
• Direction post to list recent holidays on her bucket list
• 1 Angel Square (new co-op headquarters in Manchester)

Background options:
• Cuban Nightclub
• Cuban Beach or promenade

We would like this to be colourful in a classy way and not too ‘cartoony’.
