Looking at You #9 Poster #168

Presentation image of the poster 168 named Looking at You #9

I am in a hurry to finish this poster mini-series. I am getting tired and upset about them. Or maybe it’s because I feel like I am in the worst of the storm about the design challenge these days.

The design

Visual of the grunge and typographique poster design number 168

Today’s design looks like garbage because it is grunge! After designing it, I realized that the font in the background doesn’t look​ straight. It is only a visual effect generated by the dots. The font is straight.

I tried to create a glitch effect, which ended up​ grunge, a busy visual effect I finally learned to ​like. Putting font behind the Color Halftone Image was a good idea because that produces​ visual tension and depth. I also added white rectangles behind the dotted image of Apollo to give a focus and a game of words in “Look” and “King.”​ What’s a big deal!

Again, you can watch the “making of” today’s poster in ​video #168 and try to get inspired by my process. Have a nice day, and see you tomorrow for the number 169!
