In Full Bloom is a zine celebrating the acclaimed Ouran High School Host Club's 20th anniversary!
I was thrilled to join this project as a graphics mod focused on animation. I took the 2D imagery provided by my graphics partner and animated it for our social channels, including Twitter, Tumblr, and TikTok. Please note that we worked in collaboration with her taking the lead on illustration while I worked primarily in Adobe After Effects.
I also served as the art mod for this project, monitoring 30+ artist contributors to ensure deadlines were met and files were submitted to meet the proper specifications.
I am delighted to say we gained 1000+ followers across our socials and amassed over 200+ orders during our pre-order period with $14k in revenue.
Here you can see the interest check graphics for this project. Interest checks serve as measures of buyer and contributor interest in the zine theme and provide a good indicator of overall project success.
Below is the cover reveal for the project as we readied to open pre-orders.
The following is our video promoting the opening date of our pre-order campaign, featuring all the merchandise included in our full bundle.
