Creating original poster art inspired by beloved TV shows and movies like Fleabag, Normal People, and Call Me By Your Name has been a transformative journey for me. When I first started designing posters such as the Fleabag series, it wasn’t just about making art; it was about expressing the emotional connection these stories brought to my life. For instance, the iconic characters played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Andrew Scott sparked a deep creative energy that pushed me to translate their complex personalities and narratives into visual form. As I developed my poster collection, including designs inspired by popular series like Succession and films like Aftersun, my style matured. I enjoyed blending typography and imagery to capture the essence of each story, such as the bittersweet tone of Normal People or the intimate atmosphere of Call Me By Your Name. Each design was a challenge to distill themes like love, identity, and human connection into compelling visual elements. Beyond the creative side, launching a small business around my poster art taught me many lessons about entrepreneurship. From defining my brand as EVA BIRD DESIGN to marketing on platforms like ArtTok and leveraging hashtags like #posterart and #fleabagedit, each step helped me reach a wider audience. Engaging with fellow art enthusiasts and receiving feedback encouraged constant improvement. I personally found that working on posters related to shows with strong cultural impact, like Succession or The Bear, allowed me to tap into current conversations and feelings, making my work both personal and relevant. This blend of passion and market awareness was key to success. If you’re considering starting a similar creative venture, I’d recommend embracing your genuine interests, experimenting with different artistic styles, and using social media strategically to build community and visibility. The journey from your first posters to a flourishing small business is full of growth, both artistically and personally.
