About the Poster
I woke up early this morning. I was tired because the baby’s tears interrupted our night. I decided to get the sleep I needed for a day full of energy.
As usual, I started the morning by following my one-year poster-making ritual. It has become a daily warm-up to my creativity.
Today, I created another poster with an image I took from the Unsplash website. They have many free, high-quality, high-resolution pictures you can download for your project. I am not affiliated with them, but I like to share the good stuff! Their website provides the work of skilled photographers who share their jobs for free.
That made me think about doing some free work to download. Why not?
The picture I chose shows a man breathing in a cold environment. I liked the image and the strong contrast between the men’s hair and the background. I would select his hair easier. It wasn’t too dull, and I cut it out fast.
While I was doing the cut-out, I thought about the next step. So, the idea of writing, “Enjoy is simple when you know where to look,” came to my mind without pushing too much. You know that I didn’t prepare myself the day before. I create a poster a day, and I do it with the feeling or idea of that moment—no premeditation! Sometimes, I select some pictures for the next day.
I should try to prepare my poster some days before, elaborate on a concept, or something. I will see!

I selected the song “Drunken Sailor” to create today’s poster speed art video. The song was made by Cooper Cannell (YouTube), and there is only one video on his YouTube channel.
