The language of poster design is a language generated by visual perception. It is a visual expression of the designer's thoughts and understanding, and has a unique delivery method. Poster design is not art, and cannot be entirely the designer's personal preference. The design must solve specific problems according to the needs of the customer, reflect commercial value, and demonstrate poster design ideas at the same time. The following Mei Lanfen poster design mainly uses Photoshop’s text tools, gradients, masks, etc. I hope you like it.
