Summary

A striking minimalist poster featuring oversized sans-serif statistics "3.521 deaths" set against a bold red field with a blue-to-red gradient header.

Visual description

Vertical composition. Top third is a smooth blue-to-red gradient band. Large bold white type "3.521" sits above "deaths" with subtle drop shadow or bevel effect on the solid red lower area. Small centered text below reads "in Mediterranean Sea during 2016". Footer left has "Helvethic 10" and right credit text in light gray. High contrast, ample negative space, centered hierarchy.

Key takeaway

Powerful use of oversized typography and stark color blocking to deliver a sobering statistic with maximum impact. The gradient provides subtle transition without distracting from the message.

Reuse notes

Effective for editorial posters, data-driven social campaigns, or protest graphics. The large type and minimal layout work best at poster scale or in digital full-bleed. Strong on red or dark palettes. Avoid when softer tone is needed.
