Gradient Kid Poster #406

About the Poster

I was looking for inspiration this early morning to help me create the poster #406. I liked the japanese style of posters and other stuff I saw from Japanese designers. I decided to inspire myself ot their layout, style, shapes and immerse myself into their mentality to create today’s poster.

I wanted to appropriate me their style and to do so, I replace the unique color they use by gradients because gradients are playful! I also repeated many shapes, letters, and pattern here and here on the canvas without follow a clear grid. I only use the grid one or two time and I am still asking myself why. No need to use a grid, only design with my instinct is enough to realize that style. Of course, I also use my experimented perception of shapes and their different kinds of relations, and interactions.

I also like to search fonts. Don’t ask why? If you are a designer, you guess some reasons why it is so satisfying to find the right font combination. Typography is sexy and fonts — a few of them — are really sensual.
The problem is there are too many fonts and a lot of them are ugly made. It is probably due to a range of variety from bad to exceptionnal.

When I look at Gradient Kid Poster, I feel that I should create a mini-series about that style to explore further, and experiment deeper too.
