Scorch Poster #107

Another weird and odd poster design made in a total improvisation!

The design

I started to set a mint green background and create a circle in the center with the same colors. It wasn’t good! But I continued to use this color and add a gradient that I desaturated and apply a blend mode on its layer. While I was doing that, I also tried to play with fonts in the composition. Finally, I decided to Liquify apollo’s statue and see what it is possible to generate with this option. I find the result was perfect for a strange and odd background.

In a second time, I used to create a traditional layout with a large, white and opaque rectangle on​ half of the poster. It was good looking but too conventional. I test some different font organization such as put them horizontally, and vertically but both didn’t work. I tried a long moment to find a way to integrate the white rectangle with the background, but in the end, I changed it because the visual felt too heavy. When I removed this large rectangle, the poster started to breathe, and I saw what I would do next.
I added text and place rectangles behind and set their layers with a Multiply blend mode.​
