Complex layout is scary because you start with a blank document, starting from finding inspiration sources and ending up with a good barebones layout.
I purposefully didn't finish the poster in this video because I invite you to try and use the techniques and ideas I went over in the video and try and explore unique options yourself. Most tutorials will show you an end product but then everyone's work will end up looking the same.
+++ OPTIONAL HOMEWORK +++
Do this exercise 2-3 times in a row and come up with 3 completely different layouts with at least 2 DIFFERENT focal points. Submit your homework in the discord under #homework [underground resources]
The layouts can be barebones, but I urge you to go crazy and have 2-3 fleshed out posters with purposeful layout decisions.
Examples of focal points:
- [+] typography
- [+] image (photo/render)
- [+] shape(s)
- [+] hard: negative space (bonus)
