Time is going colder when there is no sunshine. But when the sun shows up, the weather turns hot. I am juggling between my pants and my shorts.
Today, I am proud to present you a minimalist, intriguing and mysterious poster.
The Design
This is one of the most minimalist posters I ever made, if not the most. I started by creating a gradient as a background because I have a different idea than the visual you can see. Once making things such as cut inside the head of Apollo I change the design direction.
After separate the top from the bottom of Apollo, I hide the bottom part and work on the head to had a three-dimensional effect. I did it by adding a circumference line to show what was invisible. I created the texture inside Apollo with the Clone Stamp Tool; I repeated the shadow and highlights where I want. I did it on another layer. To polish the effect, I create another layer and select the inside layer and go to the Option Selection, and hit Contract set on 12px. Then, I remove what’s inside, and that save the outline, which I added more highlights on this shape. I did that to get a realistic effect.
When I finish with the outline, I get a global view of the canvas, and then, I realize that the shape of the head seems to be floating nowhere. I look at the poster for a moment. I was amazed, and I decided to stop to design more. I feel that every element I could add would have been superfluous.

With no surprise, you can take a look at the speed art video #288. If you cannot understand my English, the video will show you the process better than my words!
