This is a reference to the [AS] trend which was popular during tiktok 2021. The trend was itself a reference to Cartoon Network's adult oriented programmes which were aired late at night, including shows like Rick and Morty. To show that younger audiences should not watch further a 'bumper' or 'bump' would air before and after ad breaks to advertise their own programming, always ending with the letters [AS] or words [Adult Swim] being revealed. The trend involved people creating their own Adult Swim Bumpers, always featuring the text at the end and sometimes writing random sentences in the structure "Don't [do something], it'll [result in something, most likely negative]. Or do. We don't care." Followed by [AS] or {Adult Swim]. The trend used a remixed version of the song 'Time Moves Slow'

Made an album cover. "The Weather Forecast" is an intertextual reference to Welcome To Night Vale, a weirdcore ' absurdist supernatural fiction' podcast where at the end of each episode there is a fan-made song, and before each song the narrator (Cecil) introduces it to the audience with the line "-and now, the weather". The album cover was designed on Ibis Paint X, the text was achieved using the 'liquify' tool and adjusting proportions.

The first edition (below) was too minimalist for Lemontree Radio's style.

So I redesigned a version with more colour to make it look more indie. However, the text did not stand out enough

I redesigned again to have dark blue typography and adjusted the positioning/outline of the logo.

Below are two versions of a pop-up for the website. Both were created on Ibis Paint X, but only the second one will be used in the final version of the website.

The photos used in the pop up (unedited):

For the website I created a Still Life poster (for merch usage). The image was edited on Ibis Paint X and I used a soft airbrush eraser and smudge tool to get the droopy moulded effect. This is an intertextual reference to Kane Pixel's Backrooms movie, where several still life beings are shown with similarly moulded faces. I used a crumpled paper overlay to make it seem more used. The typography is the same as the end credits in The Backrooms movie.

Above is the image halfway through editing.
