I have now completed all of my final designs for the rest of the formats. Here they all are: 1080pxl x 1080pxl social media icon. 48" x 70" Bus shelter / London underground poster. 100cm x 240cm ENO banner, hangs outside of the Lindon Coliseum. I like how skinny this poster is, and whilst giving the least amount of information compared to some of the other formats, I really like how clean and elegant it came out. It really uses the full-length image I created to it's advantage. 1920pxl x 1080pxl image for ENO website. 500pxl x 1080pxl image for ENO website, I like how I cropped half of her image in this poster to give it a different look to the others. Makes it stand out from the crowd.

I feel like the most important print that I am making is the A4 brochure print, so that is the one I am starting with. I imagine that the design choices I make here will influence the rest of the designs I will make.  Whilst making my design, I was often comparing it to the ENO examples we were given as reference to make sure it was in the same style as the other campaigns. This meant I could assure that I had the logos and text placed in the correct places so the design would stay consistent with the other posters. I also had access to some fonts that match the ENO posters.  I did some research on The Handmaid's Tale to make sure I had an appropriate log-line at the top of the poster, so that anyone who sees it knows a quick synopsis of what the story is about. Something I noticed in the other ENO posters was that there was a gradient in a radial format, so I made sure to add a dark red one to my design too to keep with the theme of The Handmaid's Tale. Here is what I came up...

I have started creating my image for The Handmaid's Tale brief so I will do a walkthrough of my process here. I wanted to keep within the same style as the ENO promotional posters we were given as examples. These posters keep a very simple and minimal design, so I decided to make a very simple and clean vector image as my piece of art that I can apply to all the different necessary formats. Here I took a screenshot from one of the episodes of The Handmaid's Tale TV show and imported it into Adobe Illustrator. I traced around the outline of the woman using the pen tool. I then had the simple outline of the woman and decided to use the Live paint bucket tool to fill in the woman, using the eye-dropper tool to pick out the exact colours from the reference image. I liked how this looked but felt I could do a bit more detail, so I traced around some of the more complicated parts of the original image. This included the creases of the dress as well as the shadows and contours of her ...

 I have made many videos now about lemons and they are pretty random and stupid to be perfectly honest, but I'm having fun doing it. Strangely enough I am actually gathering quite a following and at least one dedicated fan who loves commenting on my videos. I have tried to engage with as many of my lemon fans as possible by liking their comment, replying, and also making their comments into a video (a feature of TikTok) to keep engagement with my followers and create a good dynamic. Here's some examples of me engaging with a fan.
