Print Design • Poster Design | Illustrator • Photoshop

Using a stock image as the foundation, I wanted to transform it into something that felt original and distinctly my own. I edited the imagery to create a grittier, more edgy aesthetic while incorporating comedic elements to establish a sense of irony.

One challenge I encountered was resolving the relationship between the imagery and the background. Initially, the background felt too smooth and disconnected, creating visual tension rather than cohesion. To address this, I committed the entire composition to the same gritty visual language, while keeping the typography clean and structured to create contrast and balance within the poster.
