Mirrors Poster #134

Gradient Stratum mini-series is over and this Poster Creation is the proof.

​

The design

I start the poster by importing three pictures of Apollo’s Statue. Two times it’s​​​ head in a ​different posture​ and its hand. I position them on the side of the poster and fill a grey to light grey gradient background. I use a radial gradient on the left half of the poster and a linear one on the right. Then, I write Apollo, add a rectangle with a stroke and try some colors.

It was the starting point of the creation. Soon after place my elements, I noticed that the hand doesn’t belong to the composition. The disposition of the heads was the most difficult part of the poster. I also heasitate a few times to find the correct way to cut and separate them gracefully. They also have to respond to each other too.

After that, I start to play with the title and add two other “Apollo” on each side with a different font variation. I also use the Filter, Pixelate, Mozaic that I fill with a colorful gradient behind each Apollo to add a bit of color.

To have a better look on what can look like the poster with the Apollo’s Statue in the center, I duplicate the file and tried it. But it wasn’t convincing. So, I come back to the original version.
