KDB-Out of This galaxy
The design (BTS)
Background: This whole design was based around colors and the theme of KDB being the best player in the galaxy. However, the galaxy theme started to disappear more and more as the design continued to progress.
Contrast: The color palette creates a natural contrast between the pink and the blue.
Alignment: Because the design's canvas is optimized for Iphone screens, most of the image is stretched across the vertical space. I also aligned KDB with the right third line and top third line, placing his eyes level with the third line.
Proximity: Most of the canvas is taken up by the large image of Kevin de Bruyne, with some of the space taken up by the text at the bottom.
Repetition: A lot of the repetition is made through the colors and textures used.
Color Scheme: Pink, blue and white.
Font Choice: To be honest, this design didn't work with a lot of texts and I never really found the right one. I settled on James Stroker, which I think fits pretty well.
