Self-Esteem Poster #102

Today’s poster #102 is inspired about what comes from a question I asked myself. If Apollo was real, what would look likes his dreams?
According to me, it is about self-esteem in the way of selfishness.

The design

I started the design by cut inside Apollo’s head, duplicated it and start to play with its shapes. I also searched for​ two vibrant colors to create a nice gradient. I distort the font “Apollo,” duplicated the top with the tool “Content Aware Move” (a tool usually used for photos) to give it a try on a font. Later, I played with rectangle forms both with gradient and white including different sizes. I also add many little circles and some oblique lines on the poster’s corners.

To finish with the design, I use a pixel filter on Apollo’s head and play with the blend mode to find the good one and, apply a noisy background that I place on the top of my layers to unify the whole look and feel.​
