Block Party Poster

Spill Tab was my assigned artist for this project. I hadn’t heard of her before but I really enjoyed her music. She’s got a poppy, late-90’s/early 00’s vibe that I found really catchy. I watched a bunch of her music videos, and loved the one for Anybody Else. Like her music and style in general, it’s cute, funny, brightly colored, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. There’s one scene while she’s fully clothed in a bathtub while an anonymous hand paints her face, and for some reason there are oranges floating in the water. I loved the image of the brightly colored fruit bobbing around, so I decided to make that my poster. Overall, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, though I definitely ran into some issues. I’m still learning how to use Illustrator, and if my skills were better, I would’ve made the oranges a little more realistic. I’m going to rent an iPad and try out Procreate soon. Another issue I sometimes have is organization, and that shows up pretty quickly when I start working with layers. My oranges and text were in multiple layers, and it made it a little challenging to get things organized. Additionally, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get the image to crop in line with the actual frame. I am not sure what I did wrong. But there’s better way to learn than to make things really annoying for yourself.
