Up-Gradient #5 Poster #139

Poster number fifth of the Mini-Series named Up-Gradient. To create the poster, I use Apollo’s Skull. T​o change than usual Apollo’s Statue.

The design

Clean and minimalist is the adjective to describe this poster contrarily to yesterday’s one. I already said that minimalist designs aren’t easy to create because every element must be considered in term of spacing, size, weight, balance…

Up-Gradient #5 arranges its elements in a vertical symmetry except for the half part elongation on the left of Apollo’s head, which is horizontal. That brings a nice contrast and give a visual tension to the poster and the horizontal elements. It is a point of entry to the viewer’s eyes.​

To help me get a unifying visual, I cut Apollo’s Pedestal and neck only to show its face. The Pedestal disturbs the eyes and gets​ tired of it. Apollo’s face seems to float in the hair and add a touch of mystery.
