Behind the creation: This week we came up with a name and solidified what we are doing for the project but nothing else about the podcast itself yet. Instead of putting everyone’s names because two of the characters have the same name, I opted to say diverse panel. I found this template on canva for free and edited it to my liking. I found out that it is hard to find a font that pops against certain backgrounds. I feel like this is a great promotion for the radio show!
Here’s a picture of the poster I made for our audio show. Since I’m not the best at design, I relied on AI to help me make the poster. The three course characters that make my group are depicted in the poster. This poster’s style makes me think of celebrity athletes who band together, join the same team, and pose for their first group photo. If you are unfamiliar with the subject matter, please view this image:
As you can see, I tried to go for a future aesthetic with the three course characters on my poster. I chose to utilize a poster without text because I didn’t like how AI photos displayed text in the past. till, I acknowledge that it would have been helpful to include the show’s name.
One of the assignments we had to do this week was to create a visual that could be used as our radio show logo or bumper sticker. Along with the radio show bumper and the commercials, we needed something that we could use to help represent the radio talk show. Now in most cases, people would normally have the name of the talk show in the logo, however, I decided to get a little bit creative and experimented with logos that had had text and ones that did not. I finally settled on the picture you see above, and as you can see it does not have any text. I think the picture without any text makes it look more clean and elegant compared to the ones with the text. I decided that this picture was the best fit for our show since we would be focusing on topics such as AI and Aggressive Technologies and the role they play in the field and so the background being futuristic and high-tech really made the picture come together as a whole. However, I also wanted to include the hosts of the talk show as well, and since we have three people in the group, I added three people and had a fourth since the radio show may contain guests if needed. I really like how this turned out and the process of making it was quite simple. I used an AI chatbot to generate the image and had to go through a few iterations to get to this final design. Originally, the pictures were very old-fashioned and looked too much like cartoons and so they did not really fit the theme of the radio show or the project itself. Once I was able to tell the chatbot to give me something more high tech and have it fit the theme a little more, I was able to easily decide that this picture was the one that I would want to be using to try and come to a decision with my group members about which of the three designs should be the final logo. Especially having the really cool looking skyline in the back made the picture that much better and really helped me realize that this was the picture I wanted to go for. The picture is located above and let me know your thoughts.

In Adobe Firefly, I uploaded an image of Angelina Jolie from the movie Salt, found on Google. My character, Natasha Sidorov, resembles her. Then by using AI generated additions, I first placed a pedestal table in background on the right side, I added the cat in a separate text request. To do that sort of edit, find the command in the left side bar that allows for generative fill. Click that tool for a box with options to add, subtract, change background or invert image. I clicked add and selected the area that the object should be placed in. The fill is more accurate if the command is simple. Several options were provided from which to choose. Next, I added a microphone to the front left. For the image chosen here the text command was: taller retro silver microphone. Team leader, Bradshaw, shared the font styles so that I could create a cohesive design with the Dr. Ravioli branding. The swipe behind the “Hosted by Dr. Ravioli” text is one of the logo elements available on the site. I chose the light flesh color to blend with the background colors and yet be seen. Aggressive Technologies text is done in the font, Capitol, with a shadow effect. There are several text effects in Adobe Firefly. The letters are in light silver with black shadow.
I knew I wanted to make a promotional poster for the radio program. So, I did. I used Adobe Firefly AI to make the basic picture I wanted. I am getting faster at getting the results I want with it. OR perhaps it is learning what I like? After I had a picture, I downloaded it and opened it in Adobe Photo Shop. From there I spent at least an hour playing with fonts, colors, sizes, and placement of words. I then went to go find an assignment in the assignment bank that fit with what I made.
It took me a minute, but I found the assignment I did. Promotional Flyer. DesignAssignments1521
