Cathedrals of Compute

Summary

An editorial poster series visualizing major AI data centers across the US, pairing bold location typography with chrome-rendered GPU cluster forms on striking colored backgrounds.

Visual description

A saturated vermilion paper-textured poster with a large white bold grotesque title at the top and a darker red-brown location line beneath it that is partly overlapped by the artwork. The centerpiece is a ring of brushed-chrome, notched rectangular blocks arranged in a loose heptagon around an empty orange center. Small white captions in a two-column text block run along the bottom edge under a short left-aligned subtitle.

Key takeaway

Overlap a metallic hero object onto tone-on-tone secondary type so the image appears to sit in front of the layout. A single flat spot color plus chrome keeps the poster loud yet disciplined.
