BRAD FUCKIN WAYNEEE

headcannons i have abt this sweet himbo fratboy

This man is the largest in the family, like 6’6 and built like a non-green hulk. He can easily pick up and fireman carry Bruce and Jason

Is the guy in a frat party to sit with girls and hear about them bitch about periods and now carries a little pack with him everywhere that has a few tampons, pads, hand-warmers (for on the go heating pads), and Tylenol and Advil

Where does he keep this stuff and the random assortment of weird things he has, you ask? He wears a fanny-pack

read it and weep y’all he wears fanny-packs, usually the cool way over his shoulder, but mostly around his waist since he carries a backpack almost 25/8

He drives a beater truck (just an old car whose been through like three accidents and is still going strong) specifically a 1991 dodge D250 truck with a scratched up white paint job where there are dents, scratches, and a few patches of off white paint on dents that was sorta DIY-ed

his keys 🔑 have a weird ass mesh of keychains on it like: Ally flag keychain and a flag keychain for every single label a person has come out to him with, also a keychain from every museum, tourist spot he’s ever been, also a beer and bottle opener he’s a frat boy duhhh, he has a little bracelet that is made of sparkles and purple beads that steph gave to him but it was too small so he put it on his keys, a collage logo keychain, a keychain from his local gym and one with rugby on it etc

the keychains and keys are never ending

HE PLAYS RUGBY, argue with the wall.

getting a bachelors and masters in sports medicine

he makes sure to give Duke, Damian, Cass, Steph, and Tim copies of his keys first (the rest of the fam too they just get priority)

A) because they are the kids, and he wants them to know that he has an open bed any time

B) cause he’s the sibling to not get mad if they are intoxicated in any form and will cover for them

This next one is so important to me

He takes Tim to his first midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, same with Damian

He pretty much eats at the Wayne mansion every night but sleeps at his apartment

Shows Damian some good rock’n roll ex Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, Ramones, The Clash, Oingo Boingo, Ghost, Blonde, Foo-Fighters (i can make a playlist if wanted)

Just will sit and have a beer with Jason and sit in silence or talk about weird things that happened today

Steph and him have study sessions together

He will watch any ballet practice Cass wants him to see and he never misses a competition or performance

he sends Tim stupid skateboard tricks and fails videos (tiktok or insta reels) daily and then once a month they take Brad’s truck to a park and Brad sits on a ramp and cheers Tim on like its the Super Bowl

Watches Dick’s dog when he’s away from home and they both watch Barbie movies together

He gardens at Alfred’s request, yes he sucks but this man cannot not say no to the tidbits of Alfred’s life story he learns

Can kick back like 4 kegs of beer with no fucking consequences, he has a liver of steel thanks to Brucie Wayne

He’a the high guy in the bathtub at frat-parties and will give shitty or good life advice its 50/50 honestly

Does stupid white people fraternity things that would kill a normal person but he just is quirkily busting it down and Death just cannot vibe with him

makes (and i cannot stress this enough) the best and i mean best, (Alfred and Ma Kent can’t win in this one) brownies. Whether they are edibles or not they are the best.

has done the Tide-Pod challenge and survived

He is the Frat God of Gotham

Him and Duke are like the best duo

They blast Rock and Rap so that all five cars in every direction can hear it

Duke has the habit of putting weird ass bumper stickers on Brad’s desk and bed frame (at his apartment, they Do Not fuck with Alfred) Brad smiles fondly every time he finds a new one

Brad = Mark, ya know the tiktok sound

Him and Harper simp over women 🙏 together

In his fanny-pack, truck, and various rooms he has stim toys/do-hickeys bins or sections

bc he has Nerodivergent siblings and he was just trying

he asked kinda rude blunt questions, he didn’t know anything and he kinda (really) sucks at subtlety and reading a room but he was just trying to understand

He will take Damian to amusement parks and zoos pretty much bi-weekly

The girls can put on a horrible outfit and makeup and he will think he looks fabulous and no one will ever tell him that he’s sporting fashion and makeup crimes

has a small hidden bookcase of Wings of Fire, Warrior cats, Land of Stories, etc.. cause Damian is embarrassed to admit he actually likes reading them

Watches the trashiest brain rotting tv shows like Dance moms or keeping up with the Kardashians

Goes to any march or parade his siblings or friends are going to so: A) he can be that decked out ally tank of a man passing out water bottles and granola bars B) so if the police are back on their BS he can protecc atacc and throw that tear gas bacc

*Sniff 🤧* I have something I need all of you to know, I say this with a heavy heart *holding back tears 😥* Brad is a former highlighter kid— *single tear falls*

This fucking himbo stud-muffin has slept with, kissed, crushed on, and went on dates with men, but still doesn’t realize that he’s Bisexual

his favorite flavor ice cream is pistachio and carmel

KNOWS NOTHING and i mean nothing about zodiac signs

Has been caught in the middle of Gotham Rouge and does not understand what the fuck is happening

He either Teddy Bear fratboy golden retriever energies them to friendship or friendly acquaintance or annoys them to the high hells of mosquito bites on your butt

^I can expand if wanted

His phone you ask?

Screen cracked like rice crispys

apps more disorganized than the random shit drawer in someone’s house

he has a model 6S and will not upgrade or replace it to save his life.

he has an otterbox case and we all know it, no more denial

Okay thats my time yall see ya

Time once again for my bullet journal setup! I decided to step out of my comfort zone once again, this time by attempting a fancy font.

I wanted to do something geeky specifically for this month, because we’re going to our first post-pandemic convention during the last weekend in April. My husband suggested Star Trek, so I decided I had to do the Star Trek font. This was especially challenging for me because my normal handwriting can best be described as “legible” on a good day. I think it came out pretty well, but I did sketch it out, and then outlined in fineliner, and then colored it in. I had an example of the whole alphabet as a reference, which helped a lot.

For the Vulcan salute, I just traced around my hand. It helps that (A) I can do the salute with either hand and (B) I’m left-handed.

Since the lettering takes so much time (and space..no pun intended) I kept the rest of the decorative elements pretty minimal. I added a Starfleet insignia with the science logo for Spock.

I was toying with the idea of doing an all black-and-white setup, but aft I finished the title page I decided it needed some color. I went with red, gold, and blue for engineering, command, and science.

These next two spreads are my monthly trackers. The first page is where I write down fun or exciting things from my day. I usually call it my daily highlights, but I had to go with “Captain’s Log” for this month to fit the theme. I also added Kirk’s command insignia. I did look up if there’s an “official” way to calculate Starfleet dates, but the answer was either “no” or “it’s complicated,” so I just went with a year-dot-month format.

I’m doing Dutch doors for my weekly spreads—I trimmed off the edges of the pages so I’ll be able to see the “to do” and “C2E2” columns no matter what week I’m looking at.

You can kind of see the edge of the Dutch door better in this shot.

After a week or so of playing I'm pretty unhappy with the Gigantic relaunch lol

It's still the same game I know and love, but good lord it feels like its new owners just slapped on a new logo and left it out to die a second time. There's still a Paths Need to be Rebuilt error message on the screen and some of the UI for getting daily challenges straight up feel broken (it wasn't this hard to equip them in the original game)

Brettsey and “You say you hate it but your red face is telling me otherwise.”

This prompt looked interesting!

Okay, honestly, this one was a bit challenging 😅 but hey, I tried my best.

Matt shuffles Julia in his arms as he makes an attempt to grab her bottle from the kitchen table. She coos softly, resting her cheek against his chest. He grins down at her. He loved how she did that every so often, like she liked listening to his heartbeat. He kisses the top of her head earning another soft coo followed by some drool on his shirt.

He glances down at the baby again resisting a groan. He had just changed an hour ago since Julia decided to fling some mashed sweet potato at him during breakfast.

Julia looks up at him with her big, blue eyes and he melts. He could never be mad at her - she was his sweet Julia, light of his life and one of the best things to have ever happened to him.

As he grabs hold of the bottle, his eyes catch something else on the table. It's a letter with the CFD logo on the upper right side. His curiosity gets the better of him. He rearranges Julia again in his arms before taking a seat. He reads the letter slowly while feeding the baby her milk.

For a second, he feels guilty but it wasn't snooping if it was lying there out in the open, right?

His eyebrows shoot up as he continues to read. It's a commendation letter for Sylvie for kickstarting Paramedicine. It mentioned she was going to be honored at the CFD gala in two weeks. He smiles. It was a long overdue recognition in his opinion. Sylvie's program has done wonders for the city of Chicago by making sure CFD paramedics were directed to emergencies while still providing care to other residents with non-life threatening emergencies. It amazed him on a near daily basis, even more so when he decided to ride along with her for a shift. He really felt how many people Sylvie helped out and saved.

"Your mom's a brilliant woman, Jules," he whispers at the baby.

She blinks up at him, one hand still on her half empty bottle.

He grins at her, looking up as the door clicks open.

"Hey," Sylvie greets, smiling warmly at Matt and Julia when she spots them in the kitchen.

She had a bag of groceries in her arms, beginning to explain how she got some banana and strawberries they could make Julia try since she recently started on solids.

He raises an eyebrow at her. Clearly, she wasn't going to tell him about the commendation. Come to think of it, she didn't even mention it when he asked last night if she wanted him to take anything to the dry cleaners in time for the event.

"What?" she questions at the strange look on his face.

"You're getting a commendation, Sylvie," he tells her, pointing to the letter, "we should go out and celebrate."

She laughs, shrugging it off, "oh that - it's not a big deal. You know how I hate being the center of attention."

He truly did.

They were alike in that sense. Both of them did their jobs because they loved it not because they were chasing after recognition and awards. They kept their heads down and did the work but Sylvie deserved to be celebrated. An idea forms in his head. He'll probably have a lot of help planning and executing it but thankfully, he could still count on his 51 family. Ben and Griffin were definitely going to help too.

He gets up just as Julia finishes her bottle. He re-places it on the table, cradling Julia close before walking over to Sylvie.

"Okay - nothing big then," he proposes, "maybe dinner one of these days?"

She smiles at him, leaning close to kiss Julia on the cheek.

"Sure," she agrees, "dinner sounds wonderful."

---

A lot of coordination goes into planning Sylvie's big celebration. Herrmann and Mouch agree to have it at Molly's. All of Sylvie's close friends were coming and more importantly, her parents. He called them the day after he found the letter, explaining how Sylvie was getting this big award. They laughed when he told him how she didn't want a huge celebration, saying it sounded exactly like their daughter. They would be flying in from Indiana, eager to spend more time with the whole family, especially with little Julia.

He had it all accounted for, even making a spreadsheet like the one Sylvie had for their wedding. He kind of understood why she liked them so much but hoped he rarely needed to bust them out ever. They were more of her thing anyway.

What he didn't expect would be a challenge was getting Sylvie to Molly's. They were there most of their nights off but tonight, Sylvie seemed to want to stay at home, cuddling on the couch with Julia while watching an old rom com she loved.

He lets out of breath, thinking of an excuse, any excuse really for them to go. He already arranged for Griffin to take Sylvie's car fitted with the car seat to bring Julia to Molly's after they left. He grumbles when he gets a text from Stella asking where they were, clenching and unclenching his fist.

"What's going on, Matt?" Sylvie asks, having tuned into his anxious energy.

He sighs. He really wants to keep it a secret but all of it was going down the drain if he didn't get her to the bar fast.

Screw it. Some things were meant to be spoiled. It’s for the best.

"Everyone's waiting for us at Molly's."

She raises an eyebrow, "what do you mean?"

"I planned something for you tonight to celebrate your award," he admits.

"Matt -" she begins, eyes going wide, face reddening.

It didn't look like she was angry, maybe more embarrassed that he made a really big deal out of her award. He sees her expression change to one of surprise then wonder.

"You say you hate it but your red face is telling me otherwise," he starts out hopefully. "I just really wanted this chance to celebrate you and all the good things you've done for this city. I hope you're not mad."

She smiles at him before biting down on her lower lip, "I'm not mad."

"No?"

She shakes her head, "it's incredibly sweet of you to do that - unnecessary but incredibly sweet."

He walks over to her, sitting close to her on the couch, "it is always necessary to celebrate you. In fact, we should make that a rule - celebrations are mandatory in this family."

He tickles Julia, "am I right, munchkin?"

Julia giggles happily. He beams.

"She agrees with me," he says proudly.

She lets out a tinkling laugh, shaking her head again.

"I love you," she tells him.

He smiles widely. There was a time when he thought he'd never hear her say that to him ever again. He savors it every time she tells him this, always saying it back.

"I love you too."

He leans in to place a soft kiss on her lips before taking Julia from her.

"Come on, Jules - we need to get ready for Mommy's big party," he says as the baby coos.

Sylvie smiles at him, pinching the baby's cheek lightly, earning a squeal from Julia.

He glances back towards her, "can I ask that you act surprised later? They all put in a lot of effort."

"I can try," she tells him, "but I'm not a very good actress."

They both burst out laughing. It was true but Matt didn't think anyone would notice anyway. He didn't tell her that her parents were coming too so there was still some element of surprise left in the night, one he hopes would be a special and memorable one for Sylvie.

#brettsey #drabbles #last prompt done!#I know the ending is kind of abrupt but felt like a good place to end #I am definitely a rusty writer haha

Editors’ Choice:

April 4th was the anniversary of Josh and Donna’s anniversary! (Or not-anniversary, depending on who you ask.) Here are a few of our favorite Josh/Donna fics relating to their “anniversary”, for we are fans of occasion!

call it what you want to by mikaylawrites | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | These flowers are undoubtedly some strange Joshism that will take her another full year to puzzle out, but she’s no longer sure they’re the mean-spirited jab she initially assumed they were.

Donna has a complicated relationship with April fourth.

Admissible Evidence by tornandfrayed | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | “Anyway, I was wondering, can I still send you flowers in February?”

A Man of Occasion by Arpad_Hrunta | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | Even working on separate campaigns, Josh remembers to send flowers to Donna on their anniversary. In April. Donna decides to talk to him about this. Set in Season 6. One-shot.

S.W.A.L.K. by auditoryeden | Rated M | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | He's sent her flowers, and not just a grocery-store bouquet or the sort of flowers a florist might call "emergency level one". These flowers are at least emergency level five, possibly even emergency level “I-cheated-on-you-with-a-teenage-hooker”.

In Full Bloom by eowyn_of_rohan | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | "This is the first time you sent me flowers in April that I actually welcomed.”

affections and affectations by joshatella (shuuuliet) | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | In which Josh goes to the florist to pick out flowers for Donna for their "anniversary" and is confronted by the feelings he's been trying to avoid.

Flowers and a Few Forevers by JessBakesCakes | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | Donna’s given him nearly fourteen years of marriage, and a family he’d honestly never thought he’d have - in return, he’s given her flowers. Nothing he can give her seems like enough. But he’ll spend the rest of his life and a few more forevers trying. (Present Day Josh and Donna!)

Fics:

Could you sometime draw evil naruto or something at the waterfall thankyou!! Love your art and your funny 🤣💖 your posts are part of my daily schedule now

Hi Non.e! 💕 I'm happy to hear that! 🥰 I have something 'waterfall'-Naruto planned sometime soon, but I'm drawing 'Joker'-Naruto now.

Aaaaahh ;____; I really appreciate you thinking that 😭😭 In 2020.. around June I think I started writing a story that just didn't feel right for me in book-format, if that makes sense? I really wanted to draw the characters and make a web-comic, but uh.. I didn't know how to draw.. like at all. I did have one advantage since I do graphic design. For that I sometimes needed to make these little flowers or (printable) ornaments/swirls that go around logo's and stuff like that, but these are usually vectors and made with the pen-tool :') Then I sorta made a bet with a friend that we'd start a challenge called 'Inktober' (2020) which is where you make and upload one artwork a day in October (ink-style, but not necessary) and somehow I stuck with it.. which is a first tbh, because usually I'm only interested in something for a little while until I hop onto the next. But when I do find something interesting.. to say the least (damn you SNS) I can get quite obsessive :') That's what happened to me and art.. 🎨 I never really cared for 'doing things by the rules', nor did it work for me. If it's not fun you won't stick with it. I found artists/art that I liked and studied it. Drawing a hundred faces in order to understand the anatomy is boring (for me). I just drew whatever I wanted and thought "well eventually it'll click in my brain" and it did. It is only now that I'm comfortable enough to break down the characters to understand more techniques/perspectives since it isn't as daunting or overwhelming. That is what worked best for me! 💕

Hidden Gem is a Gen Z's Thing

During this time, I loved strolling around the narrow alleys. My introduction to a narrow alley that has a pleasant atmosphere began when i was junior high school. I was live in a area whose the street in the area is connected to dozens of alleys on its sides. exploring alleys surround the area is a pleasant experience back on the days until now. Seeing the community living in the area, how they share the limited space each other, and the friendliness of the locals always makes me happy. As an architecture enthusiast, the houses and buildings with strong local characteristics along these alleys always amaze me and make me realize where I am at the time.

Places that are tucked away in narrow alleys are always more interesting to me. I guess I'm just a curious person who likes challenges. The more hidden a place is, and the more difficult it is to access, the place getting more interesting. As I learned about adaptive reuse of abandoned building to create creative place several days ago, i just found out that hidden gem place is more interesting for young generation nowdays, especially gen Z as a representation of youth today. The most interesting point that Mr. Yacobus told as one of the planner of M bloc space is that the hidden gem is more interesting right now compared by the grande style whichis so 90s. No need to think twice, i'm 100% agree with Mr. Yacobus statement because i'm is one of that gen Z who love hidden gem very much.

Sense of visit hidden gem is different with visited places which can accessed easily by vehicle. Besides of the place is provide the sense of adventure to the visitors before they get to the main destination, the process to get the final destination is also can accommodate my desire to walking. Walking is actually fun for me, but in case of lack pedestrian path in my area and the weather condition, so i rather to going everywhere by vehicle daily.

For me personally, visiting a place is incomplete if there are no historical and culinary elements in it. Fortunately, I was able to visit a place that accommodated the things I was looking for. A hidden gem, with historical and culinary elements, welcome to …. Baan Kudichin Museum!

Baan Kudichin Museum is a mini museum located in Bangkok. The museum is located in the Chao Phraya riverfront neighborhood. From the main road, we have to walk through the riverside promenade and then we will find an old Portuguese church overlooking the river. The Chao Phraya river with its bustle, surrounded by modern buildings in the background across the river being an amazing view along this journey. To reach the Baan Kudichin Museum, we have to walk through a narrow alley beside the church and pass through a path in front of the houses.

A sign that we just arrived at the destination is that there is a Red Chicken logo in front of the gate, with the name of this museum written underneath. Portuguese and Christian nuances are immediately loud when we enter the museum. That's understandable since the museum is located in a Catholic family home. The museum houses and preserves the history of the culture and traditions of the ancient Portuguese-Thai community in the area, and tells the story of the arrival of the Portuguese in Thailand.

The last part that makes this museum a perfect place is that there is a café in this museum. Although there is no tarik tea or boba milk in the café, but it doesn't matter as long as they have coffee. I ordered an iced latte. Honestly there is nothing special about the taste of coffee, but the place and the long journey trough the alleys until I can drink that beverage makes the coffee 100% tastier (because they use original coffee bean which bring by Portuguese 500 years ago i think…ups.. jokiing) and becomes the most special coffee of my life.

Audience Personas: Crafting Your Idealized Customer

The Power of Personal Connection

When you look at how huge the internet is, and dreams seem to come true when you go viral, it might seem like aiming to reach as many people as possible is the best approach. But really, the brands that stand out and make a lasting impression are the ones that know their audience and connect with them in a meaningful way. That's where audience personas come in - they're like a map to help you find and connect with your ideal customers.

Audience personas aren't just boring profiles - they're all about understanding the people you want to connect with on a deeper level. You need to know what makes 'Jane' tick, what 'Rohan' struggles with, and what a day in the life of 'Alejandro' looks like. By using audience personas, you'll be able to create messages that really speak to people.

The Basics of Audience Personas

Let's chat about personas! They're seriously powerful and can help you get a clear picture of the people you're trying to reach. Here's what it really means.

Definition and Purpose: At its core, an audience persona is a fictional representation of your perfect customer. But it's not just some random imaginary character. You should build this character based on real data and insights from your actual customers. Why bother, you may ask? It's simple, really. Personas help you create content and marketing that's just what your customers are looking for. That way, everything in your strategy feels like it's tailor-made just for them.

Beyond Traditional Demographics: Sure, age, gender, and location are important. But audience personas are way more than just a list of statistics. They're all about the dreams, challenges, and motivations of your ideal customer. For example, let's say your data tells you your customer is a 28-year-old woman who lives in New York. A persona might take it a step further and remind you she's a young entrepreneur with a green thumb who's all about sustainable fashion and has trouble finding eco-friendly suppliers.

Coherent Brand Message: Have you ever come across a brand that just gets you? That's because they've got a refined persona that just so happened to align with you. You’re the type of person they were looking for! An audience persona ensures that your message hits home, and all your content feels like it's made just for your audience. Because let's be real, your brand is more than just a cool logo or a great website. It's about the story, the connection, and the vibe.

At Constant Creates, we always like to mention a consistent brand identity is key to making that connection. And a well-crafted audience persona is one of the many tools to help you transform your brand into a story that speaks straight to your audience's heart.

Elements of a Well-Defined Persona

Every artisan needs their toolkit, and when crafting audience personas, there are certain tools you simply can’t do without. Here’s what goes into building that perfect persona:

Descriptive Information:

Name: Gives your persona a human touch.

Age: Helps in understanding generational perspectives.

Occupation: Offers insight into their daily life, challenges, and aspirations.

Other demographics like location, family status, or education can further refine the picture.

Psychographic Elements:

Hobbies: Are they into yoga? Maybe they love indie music festivals?

Interests: What sparks their curiosity? Tech? Art? Travel?

Challenges: What problems do they face in their daily life or in business?

Motivations: What drives them to act, purchase, or engage?

Communication & Consumption Habits:

Do they listen to podcasts during their daily commute?

Are they active on LinkedIn or more of an Instagram fan?

How do they prefer businesses to reach out to them? Email newsletters or YouTube videos?

Connecting with your audience is an art, my friend, and we're here to help. It's about weaving a visual and emotional tapestry that captures their attention. And just like a work of art, every element, every color, every shade matters. That's why, at Constant Creates, we emphasize the importance of crafting cohesive visuals to complement your brand, because your audience deserves nothing but the best.

Creating Your Ideal Client Using Visual Tools

Imagine a blank canvas, waiting for your first brushstroke. 🎨 When crafting audience personas, you're essentially painting a portrait of your dream client. Using visual tools not only makes this process more vivid but also more accurate.

The Power of Visual Representation: Our brains process visual information 60,000 times faster than text. When you have an illustrated or visualized persona, you can instantly grasp who they are, what they like, and how they might respond to your brand's message. It's all about creating an immediate connection.

Illustrations for Clarity: An illustrated persona is more than just an avatar. It embodies the soul of your target audience. From the clothes they might wear to the gadgets they use, these finer details paint a comprehensive picture. Our team at Constant Creates specializes in Character Designs and Illustrations that capture the essence of your brand's audience.

Aesthetic Alignment with Brand Visuals: Your brand is unique, a reflection of your passion and drive. Your persona's visual representation should mirror this. By ensuring aesthetic alignment between your persona and your brand, you craft a seamless narrative that resonates on every level.

Diving Deep with Psychographics

When it comes to truly connecting with your audience, age, gender, and location are just the tip of the iceberg! To really understand what makes your audience tick, you need to dive deeper into the ocean of psychographics. 🌊

Beyond Surface Metrics: It's easy to get caught up in the numbers, but real connections happen when you understand the heart and soul of your audience. What are their dreams, fears, and desires? Psychographics offer a treasure trove of insights into this intimate territory.

Aligning Brand's Values with Your Audience: Authenticity is more than just a buzzword. In branding, it means aligning your brand's values with those of your audience. When these stars align, magic happens. Think of it as a dance. When both partners move in harmony, the dance feels fluid and captivating.

Design and Content Choices Informed by Psychographics

Color Palettes: Did you know that colors can evoke emotions? The shade you choose can either soothe or energize your audience. Dive deep into our guide on Color Psychology in Social Media Design to make informed choices.

Font Styles: From bold to elegant, the font you pick tells a story. It's a subtle yet powerful way to convey your brand's ethos.

Remember, your brand is more than just a logo or a tagline. It's a living entity with a heart, soul, and voice. And understanding your audience, visualizing them, and resonating with their inner world is the key to unlocking a genuine connection. Discover more about the magic behind it with our post Finding Your People: The Power of Understanding Your Target Audience.

Watch Out for These Traps When Creating Audience Personas

Creating audience personas can be super helpful, but there are a few things that could get in the way while building them. Don't worry, we've got your back, and we'll make sure you don't get lost in the process.

The Assumption Trap: It's easy to rely on your gut instinct and make assumptions when you're imagining your ideal audience. But be careful; assumptions can lead to some major marketing failures. Always back up your personas with solid research, data, and insights.

The Over-Segmentation Maze: While it's important to be specific, don't get too carried away with breaking everything down into tiny segments. If you try to please everyone, you might end up pleasing no one. So, strive for balance. Your brand should have a clear voice that speaks authentically to your core audience.

Stale Personas – The Silent Killer: Things change, markets evolve, people grow and change, and new trends pop up all the time. If you're still using a persona that you created five years ago, you're probably not getting the results you want. Make sure to regularly update and refine your personas to make sure they reflect your current audience.

Avoiding these traps isn't just about avoiding mistakes; it's about finding your way to success. For more tips on what to watch out for in your branding journey, check out Steer Clear of These 7 Brand Identity Mistakes for Business Success.

Future of Motion Graphics Video in the Film Industry

Which is more attractive and will stay in your memory longer: words and an image that is static or the same but motion? For obvious reasons, text and videos will typically be the more popular choice. The audience is frequently more engaged by motion graphics since they convey ideas effectively and straightforwardly.

Videos and digital footage dominate content marketing methods in the modern digital environment because they encourage audience engagement and action. The majority of these videos are motion graphics in a variety of designs. The use of motion graphics video in the film business is increasing as interest in them rises daily, which bodes well for their future use in the global film industry.

What are motion graphics?

Graphic designs in motion are referred to as motion graphics video. Digital footage is produced by motion designers using animation, various visual effects, and audio techniques. To help the audience understand a topic, motion graphics are frequently utilized to animate abstract concepts, words, or objects on the screen.

Future scope for motion designers in the global film industry

The Bureau of Labour Statistics (BLS) reports that many advertising companies, motion picture studios, and VFX studios employ animators, multimedia, and motion designers. By 2030, the field of motion graphics is anticipated to grow by 16%.

Motion designers are crucial in connecting the dots to provide engaging material as 3D modeling, calligraphy, and other 2D arts become a key element of the global cinema business.

Film motion graphics

Although producing a motion graphics video is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process, businesses are developing procedural animation approaches to lessen the challenge and streamline production. Motion designers can now use procedural algorithms to apply straightforward, preset procedures to 3D objects. This motion design software has limitless potential.

The potential for motion graphics is growing as virtual reality and artificial intelligence (AI) take center stage in the upcoming decade. The major players in the global entertainment business, like Disney, Netflix, YouTube, and others, are actively seeking talented motion graphic designers to join them as the need for motion graphics videos rises.

TV stars

Before TV personalities were introduced, motion graphics, ads, serials, films, and other forms of media were less effective. The TV channels had two different groups later when motion graphics were added to their identities and shows.

The first one focuses on the channel's brand, which is more constrained and selective because it has predetermined guidelines that direct the creation of any further visual content. Additionally, the person who works on each presentation is more animated and open, especially in terms of the sort of graphics.

These forms of TV identities are created so that all of the visual elements associated with the channel may be visible on the screen, including the show's schedule and lower thirds, line breaks, TV logos that display on the screen, and end titles for some programs.

The majority of TV networks constantly produce new shows for their schedules; as a result, they create motion graphic structures for those programs, much like you do for the network. The work gets more dynamic because it is challenging. It typically has a lesser influence and a consistent desire, though.

TV shows are well known for their excellent use of intros. Some of these are straightforward edits of the shows' scenes, but most of them are exquisitely animated and created works like those from Daredevil, Game of Thrones, etc.

Movies' titles

When a motion graphics video was first used, it was in movie opening titles, and most movie opening credits list the people who worked on the film's creation. Before the introduction of motion graphics, we saw that these names were essentially static, but now we can see that they are doing more than merely listing the names of the films or their cast. These introductions now set the scene and create an engaging environment where viewers feel more connected.

The titles that are featured in various films today come in many distinct forms. It is difficult not to have animated titles in superhero movies, especially when they are about superheroes. Additionally, this is growing in popularity, and many designers are choosing to focus their careers in this area.

Some of the motion graphics are utilized in the movie itself in addition to the titles. Portray texting or videos playing on a TV in the background, it is typically shown as a visual interaction with an actor. Even the animations might interact with the characters at times.

Exchange of Information

Sharing information with the audience was constant and boring until motion graphics videos were invented. However, with the advent of motion graphics, you can now turn your idea into an animation by including the appropriate soundtrack and other characteristics, making the content more appealing and understandable for the audience.

Logo Designs

Motion graphics can be used to bring animation to your company's logos, websites, and other materials to make them more appealing. This makes it easier to produce stunning images and engage with the audience.

Post on social media

People rely on social media for everything, including information, entertainment, news, online courses, etc. More people may view your social media postings if you use motion graphics in your content.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Motion Graphics

Motion graphics have had a significant impact on the film business to make their content more appealing to the viewer, but everything has pros and cons. We shall discover the benefits and drawbacks of motion graphics in this part.

Pros:

The fact that motion graphics don't require physical space may be a good argument to use them. With traditional video, you have to pick an appropriate location, plan a time to shoot, and rehearse your lines. However, these elements are no longer necessary due to the development of motion graphics. Graphics have been quite helpful in COVID-19 constraints because of this motion.

It also has the benefit of requiring less labor from the client. The client doesn't need to put up any further effort once the goals have been defined. The rest is up to the explainer video production company, which will create the content by your instructions.

Movie titles, marketing, information exchange, and other contexts all use motion graphics.

Motion graphics video makes communication simpler and more efficient.

Cons:

Motion graphics can seem impersonal, which is one of its drawbacks. The advantage of traditional video is that viewers may see the location or person they would be meeting before they go there. If done incorrectly, a motion graphics video is little more than an animated brochure. The audience will find it more engaging if there is some live footage, photography, or voice-over used.

Conclusion

The channel's quality determines the relationship between what is considered to be good and bad in motion graphics as well as between what is thought to be bad and good. Let's assume that the motion graphics video in the bespoke eLearning material development for TV identity is effectively developed. In that scenario, it will assist you in identifying the appropriate audience and differentiating your channel from others. In contrast, as the introduction and title are the first things that the audience sees in a movie or television show, their quality can be a deciding factor.

My Top Posts in 2022:

AU where Bond is a marine biologist and Q is providing logistic support for his diving expedition.

For @celandinebergerac. It’s a bit of a headcanon, a bit of a fic.

Dr. James “Eel” Bond studies whale falls. It’s the type of project which requires years of planning and remote sensing before he can finally see one himself. But he’s been desperate to see one without the barrier of a screen.

Q is constantly telling him that there are still stress tests to run before the submersible is considered safe for those depths. Bond jokes that he just wants the continued employment, but they both know he’s a perfectionist. Even more so when someone’s life is on the line.

When they finally set sail, Q’s hairs have gone grey at the temples after years of work, but it’s nothing compared to Bond’s silver and the rough tan worn into his face. Still they are both grinning widely as Bond climbs in the RSS SKYFALL and the crane begins to lift the vessel off the boat.

Q clicks on his headset. “Do you read me, Dr. Bond?”

“Loud and clear, Q,” he responded, giving a thumbs up as well.

They checked the comms every hundred feet. And when Bond reached the sea floor, and navigated to the bones of a whale, well, it was understandable that they both fell silent.

“Are you sure your assistant can’t monitor things from the surface?” Bond asked after a while, his voice soft, as if afraid to disturb the silence of the ocean floor.

Q couldn’t tear his eyes from the view screen as he replied, “I think she could.” Just once, he would make the trip in one of his own inventions to see this wonder for himself.

#73: Take a picture of a location that looks like a villain's lair.

Hiding in plain sight and looking oddly shaped? It's the top of a subterranean villain lair.

This is the observation deck. What they don't tell you about the bean is that it's a one way mirror. What better way to conduct surveillance on the people of the world than to take photos of everyone who comes and pushes their face up against the mirrored surface of the bean?

Legally Bud

The overly sarcastic podcast ( @comicaurora ) was talking about non-sports airbud movies and they came up with legally bud. They challenged us to make art and I can’t resist a good movie poster mashup.

#17: The Six Squad are on tumblr, what post would they blaze to 10,000 people?

Eve posts this without comment the day before Bond walks back into MI6. For those employees not on tumblr, she emails it to them. Specially for the 00s, she prints it out and puts it on their office door.

[ID: Hidden Lapel Camera £500 Flight to Jamaica £1700 Seeing the expression James Bond makes when he realised Nomi is the new 007... Priceless

There are some things money can’t buy, for everything else there’s Moneypenny.

My #1 post of 2022

"...which he produced from some mysterious receptacle about the seat of his trousers,..."

Is this old time speech for "he pulled it out of his ass"?
