For this poster, I wanted to include many different elements to truly convey the aesthetic and symbols of the book.

baby in egg -> This represents the mass producing of babies in the new state. At the beginning of the book, Foster takes us through the tour of the Hatchery, and we learn about the processes that the World State takes to make these "manufactured" babies -> perfect for their pre-determined caste. I chose to add a red hue behind/on top of the fetus in order to represent how the World State is controlling these babies since birth and breeding them to fit their moral standards.

gears -> Inspired by the gear man and the black and white backrgound of the book's cover, I included them in the background. The World State is built on Henry Ford and his assembly line (mass production), and these gears symbolize that. It represents how in society, it represents how people are "cogs in the machine" and serve only a specific purpose in the grand scheme of things, like how in the World State each person is breeded to fit their caste's standards.

pills -> The pills on the side represent a key symbol, Soma. Soma is a drug used to suppress any negative emotions and maintain social stability in the World State, which is used to control the population. Many citizens use it when they feel anything negativ (especially Lenina who uses it frequently), except Bernard. Bernard tends to avoid Soma at all costs. Soma is an important symbol on how when emotions and thoughts are suppressed, people lose their individuality.

Bernard, Lenina and John -> The three main characters of the story. I felt it was very important to highlight them because the book follows their journeys and the circumstances around them. Lenina was strategically placed in the middle since she had romantic interests for both men at some point into the story. Additionally, placing Bernard and John separate from each other shows the shift on Bernard as the only protagonist to John as a key character and possible protagonist.

texture -> A halftone texture was added to emulate the futuristic environment of New London and make feel like a dystopian society's poster.

Henry Foster, the assistant director of the Hatchery, gives a tour of the Hatching and Conditioning Center in Central London to a group of boys. He explains the Bokanovsky and Podstamp processes- which is how the society produces and fertilizes thousands of identical human embryos. Additionally, the babies are programmed and sorted into 5 different levels: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon. Alphas are the higher, more respected leader class while Epsilons on the lower end do labor jobs. They also encounter a group of Delta toddlers on their tour

being taught to dislike books and flowers to make them obedient and subservient to higher power. The director also shows and explains how they use hypnopedic teaching to teach World State morals.

Inside the Hatchery, Lenina chats with her friend Fanny Crowne. They talk about Lenina's relationship with Foster, and Fanny criticizes her for only going out with Foster for months. Lenina then reveals that she is attracted and has an interest for Bernard, despite being "funny-looking" and a bit unusual. In another room, Bernard overheats a conversation between Foster and Assistant Predestinator about having Lenina for himself, which enrages him. This is where we first see their relationship with one another emerge.

Bernard flies his helicopter to meet with his friend Helmholtz Watson. They discuss their dislike of the World State, and Bernard expresses his frustration with being undersized and weak for his caste (Alpha). Helmholtz is also frustrated because he is tired of his basic job writing hypnopedic slogans and wants to write about or do something more "intense" or "violent".

Bernard asks the Director to sign his permit that he needs to visit the Reservation in New Mexico. While they meet, the Director reminisces about his vacation on the reservation 20 years ago. He tells Bernard that during his trip, a storm separated him from his companion, who disappeared there, but realizes later on that he told him a terrible secret if it got out. In order to save face, he tells Bernard that if he continues his unusual behavior he will be reassigned to Iceland.

Bernard calls Helmholtz a few days after meeting with the director. Helmholtz informs that he Director has grown displeased with Bernard’s difficult behavior (his anti-socialness), and has desires to exile Bernard to Iceland. After hearing this news, he grows angry with the Director, but still continues on his journey.
