Here is my entry for a poster competition run by the NOW Foundation promoting the positive, healthy, inclusive portrayal of girls and women. Yes, another competition. It’s been a busy month.
My aim was to put a positive spin on the idea of body types and to create an image that would make people smile. All too often, we hear ‘pear’ and ‘apple’ shapes (et cetera) described as problems that require fixing in some way. Instead, celebrate your shape because it’s all natural and naturally beautiful. Love the shape you’re in!
The fruit characters are ink and acrylic — one is a self-portrait : ) The background collage was created using paper and gesso. I added the heart spotlight in Photoshop.
So which one is you? 🙂
That’s my little secret : )
Great idea! Good luck with the competition.
Thanks, Anne.
I think I am the sum of many parts of a fruit 😉
Good Luck Anna !
I think the body shape concept is fruitamentally flawed : ) I’ve fallen for the whole ‘put yourself in a box’ thing many times. I’ve even bought books on the subject. I’m a lot happier now that I’m marching to the beat of my own heart. Thanks for your support.
nice poster, simple and sweet 🙂
good luck with the competition
Best of luck with the competition, I hope it’s fruitful!
Great work – can’t think of anything pithy to add – smile as you groan at the appealing puns 🙂
You are too modest! And thanks : )
I’m glad the fruits are varied, just like we are! Simple yet wonderful concept, fruitfully realised. Good luck with the comp! Liked. :O)
I love it as it really caught my eye and I knew immediately the message. Best wishes with the contest!
Good luck with the competition! 😉
Love it!
