Taking a cue from the playful wanted posters of old cartoons, I set out to create a self-promotional piece that reflects the whimsy and individuality of animated classics. The result is a poster that not only pays homage to the mischievous characters of the old animations, but also boldly declares my commitment to doing things differently in the creative realm.
At the heart of the design is a silhouette that captures my animated essence, framed by details that evoke the spirit of the Wild West in classic cartoon style. Beneath this animated representation, bold text proudly announces, “Last Seen: Doing it Different.” This statement isn’t just a declaration it’s a lighthearted testament to my creative journey, inspired by the rebellious characters often featured in the wanted posters of classic cartoons.
The playful theme continues with the declaration, “Wanted for: being unique, changing the formula,” positioned beneath the animated silhouette. It’s a great twist that adds a touch of fun to the poster, inviting viewers to embrace the idea of creative rebellion. The wording playfully suggests that my unique approach to creativity is sought after, not for any misdeeds, but for daring to bring innovation and freshness to the table.
The design maintains the vintage look of old cartoon wanted posters, with a classic stained look and an old western typeface, creating a sense of nostalgia. It’s a playful nod to the animated characters who have inspired creativity throughout the years.
In a world often dominated by conformity, my cartoon-inspired wanted poster stands as a visual declaration of individuality and a celebration of creative eccentricity. It’s a reminder that sometimes, in the pursuit of self-expression, injecting a bit of cartoon charm and playfulness can make the journey even more vibrant and engaging.
In the world of self-promotion, I’ve crafted a poster that offers a relaxed peek into who I am. Set against a calming pastel green and blue backdrop, playful cartoons and straightforward text come together to tell my story in a way that’s both inviting and personal.
At the top, a whimsical headshot of mine in the Scott Pilgrim art style takes centre stage, setting a playful tone for the poster. It’s a nod to the art that inspires me and adds a touch of creative flair to the mix. Beneath the headshot, my name boldly stands out, surrounded by a stack of books. It’s a simple acknowledgment of my love for learning, a foundation of my identity.
Moving down, a monitor illustration sits next to a paragraph about my role as a graphic designer and my roots. It’s a straightforward visual representation of my passion for design and technology, serving as a reliable anchor to my creative journey.
Further below, an astronaut helmet represents my childhood dream, and above it is a vector illustration showcasing my favourite art supplies. It’s a lighthearted way to share personal aspects about myself and my artistic pursuits.
Towards the bottom, a list of my preferred art supplies is accompanied by a vector of the tools that bring my creative visions to life. The mix of cartoony bold words and legible text creates a flow that guides the viewer through my artistic world. Wrapping it up at the very bottom, my love for music is mentioned, alongside a casual boombox illustration. It’s a simple and casual way to conclude the poster with a touch of my personal interests.
This self-promotional poster isn’t a formal introduction; it’s more like a friendly chat, offering a peek into my personality. With every image and detail, it unfolds a story—a story of an artist, a dreamer, and someone who enjoys the simple joys of a creative journey.
