This afternoon, I fell asleep while watching Youtube. It doesn’t often happen to me. I wake three hours later, my body took control and let me remember that he must sleep! Fortunately, I made the poster this morning, but how to explain that I didn’t finish a job because I was asleep, again, there are no excuses.
The Design
When I start to add a light over the rectangle, I felt a voice in my head telling me, “don’t do that, you don’t want to get there!” I should listen to my inner voice. I didn’t want to go in this way, and I didn’t want to create that kind of poster. But I continue to explore this way instead to go somewhere else with my design.
So, I continue to explore where I can go, and I create more thin lines around the rectangle which contain the picture of Apollo. The picture that I separate from the middle and place on the rectangle’s side.
To create the lines and the lighting effect, I use the Pen Tool. I create the first line in blue; I duplicate the layer and change the color to white. I double click on the layer to open the Layer Style panel and add a blue Outer Glow. I also change the blend mode to Linear Dodge (Add). I obtain this lighting effect by following the previous steps.
Then, It is a question of placement, sizing, and spacing. It is about the taste I have on the moment, and I try to follow my intuition in the first time, then, I take a step back and question the basic principle of graphic design.
