I am waking up early these days intending to realize more work during my day. And that function well, I progress faster, and I have more time to spend with my family. I also could spend more time to design poster, but I am still working on a project for a customer. The same one than I was talking about two months ago.
The Design
The only thing I was sure about is that I didn’t want to produce a minimalist design like I did these last days. So, I made the reverse by creating a poster full of colors and elements.
I start the design by creating a large grey shape in the background made with straights and curved lines. Yes, it is the shape we cannot see clearly because I add too much element above.
Then, I added a circle made fill with a blue, yellow, and red gradient that I transform to generate an unconventional shape. I created a pattern with white and black lines and passed them under the Filter Liquify. After, I added some parts of a picture of a desert, paintbrushes lines, typography, parts of the picture of Apollo, and geometric shapes such as circles and rectangles.
When I look back on it; I realize there are too many grey colors due to the background and Apollo’s picture. There is also no focal point, and that is a mistake I made. The viewer’s eyes are going everywhere, and a lot of elements have the same weight, this is another error I can easily avoid.
Except for these mistakes, the poster is successful because of its qualities in terms of playfulness.
Speed Art Poster #290
Ten posters to go before the number three hundred! I kept the challenge until now and I am not ready to let it fall!
As usual, you can take a look at the speed art tutorial number 290. If you want to see how I made today’s poster, this is the only way to do!
I see you tomorrow for the poster number 291! Have a nice evening!
