The Design

As I said yesterday, I didn’t use the brush tool to realize today’s poster, even a little bit. I made an overdose of grunge effect, ​and I have to wait a moment before using​ it again — don’t worry, it won’t be so soon, too much is too much!

I Tried​ to stay minimalist. ​I was fighting my desire to add more and more elements in the composition only to see if I can find something better. I always finish with something which looks like a rough draft. In the end, I remove many elements and come up with a minimalist style ​again. Enough is enough too.

I have to stick to my idea and sketch a bit before jump on my computer and start designing. Sometimes with no idea of what I will do. That’s terrible, and sometimes happy mistakes happen. But it’s often more time consuming​ than fast happy mistakes or nice discovery. The problem when you have experience with software is that you think you are faster without sketching. You think you can do everything you want fastly, and yes is it fast, when you have an​ idea about what will look the final result​.
