LAGOS ARCHIVE 1890 - Old Paper, New World

I built a Recraft V4 Style that reimagines modern Lagos life as 1890s vintage lithograph posters.

THE IDEA: What if Shawarma delivery bikes, Danfo yellow buses, Suya street grills, Jollof rice kitchens, AirPods, and Lagoon ferries were advertised in 1890? Turning everyday Lagos hustle into archive history.

VISUAL SYSTEM:

Aged handmade paper with cracks, stains, foxing

Engraved cross-hatch illustration like old newspapers

Limited palette: red ochre / teal / cream / black

Ornate 1890s French typography and filigree borders

Authentic lithograph imperfections

COLLECTION: 6 posters + submission sheet No.1 SHAWARMA DELIVERY No.2 DANFO - The Yellow Buses of Lagos No.3 SUYA - Spiced Grill No.4 JOLLOF - Pride of Lagos Kitchens No.5 AIRPODS - Now With No Wires! (my twist - 1890 lady discovering wireless tech) No.6 LAGOON FERRIES

WHY: Lagos is always moving forward but its soul is timeless. This style makes the new feel archival and the old feel alive. Old paper, new world.
