Three Deadly Sins

AD | Print

The project aims to create three advertising posters that represent three of the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, and gluttony, using characters from Sesame Street. Grover embodies pride, Count von Count represents greed, and Cookie Monster symbolizes gluttony.

To create three Advertising posters about three of the seven sins and advertise them on a topic. For this project, I chose to pick pride, greed, and gluttony sins. As for what each sin will advertise, it will be on the topic of Sesame Street. Each poster will have a Sesame Street character related to a sin. Pride’s Sesame Street character is Grover, Greed’s Sesame Street character is Count von Count, and Gluttony’s Sesame Street character is Cookie Monster. 

My first Challenge was to create these Sesame Street characters. I found photos of each character after which I used Photoshop’s brush to create. The only problem was trying to use the mouse on my laptop which didn’t work out instead I used my iPad to mirror the laptop screen and the Apple pencil to paint.  Next, I transferred each Photoshop file to Illustrator for any items that didn’t look good using paint. Using Procreate, I created a crayon textured background in the colors of each sin I picked, like purple, orange, and yellow. 

For the taglines, with the help of Chat gpt, I simplified them to say “ Who can you find on” Sesame Street logo “ ( Pride’s Regal Self-Loved Grover)(Cookie Monster A Glutton’s Delight)(Count Von Count’s greed for Numbers) with the PBS KIDS logo in the corner.  This was my first project where I used Photoshop’s paint brushes to create something.
