I focused largely on the posters, since that is more of my field, especially with my work at Circle Six. Although I’m not much of a designer, I like to think I have enough skills to dish out a pretty decent little poster inside an hour. Some of the elements of this poster were entirely mine, and because of the environment, much was contributed. As with most anything, some things I would have done differently were it only for me, but some things were great ideas that I wouldn’t have thought of. It’s always a curious balance.

At any rate, I’ll share with you the poster that was mostly up to me. I modified, but did not write the original copy. The primary font was shared between all the posters for continuity, and was also a choice of mine that was found for free. The TV was a stock image, and I made the glowing effect and the text (as well as warping the photo so that it added perspective). I personally would have left the block of text out of the portion to the left of the TV, but I appreciated that it was a part of the message they wanted to send, so I included it. Here it is for you. Enjoy.

I struggled somewhat in my head in deciding how to light these photos. I’ve seen enough model cards to know that if you get too dramatic or complicated, you can’t tell what the model really looks like, and thus the card won’t get any clients, but also enough to know that if you make it too bland or flat, you also tend to just sink into the crowd. I tried to strike a pleasant medium by keeping the lighting soft, but not necessarily flat. This was essentially accomplished by placing a softbox overhead (and to the side) to make sure her hair was properly lit, and an umbrella placed at a medium distance away from her, to keep the light from being totally enveloping (by moving closer), but also from being harsh (by keeping it at a distance). Where needed, I also added a bit of reflection fill on the right side of the frame.

If perchance you are looking at my site and would like to contact her for modeling work, go ahead and use the contact button in the drop-down menu and I’ll get you in touch with her.

Enjoy.
