Dispatch Poster #290

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.​
