You do not need to be a fine art connoisseur to know about the Louvre and those masterpieces this museum possesses. Nowadays, you cannot come across so many artists as it was in the days of da Vinci. With the way technologies have rushed in our lives, artists have been replaced by the occupation that isn’t less creative or fascinating: graphic and web designers. If previously artists painted pictures, now designers create posters. Some of them are so ingenious that should take well-deserved place in the Louvre among other world’s pieces of art. DesignContest offers you to visit our own digital poster Louvre and enjoy the magnificence of those designs (and their creators).
1. Elio Moavero: the art of making posters spooky
When people seem to have seen everything, it becomes impossible to surprise them, let alone to frighten them with a simple poster design. However, Elio Moavero succeeds in this task. Take a look at the poster designs made by Moavero and you will understand that playing with characters and fonts can bring some unusual results. While designing a poster, you don’t need to use a wide variety of colors to make your design sell. Similar shades and playing with the contrast should be more than enough.
2. Mika Makinen: the art of making posters airy and light
