Project Becoming

Summary

A bold editorial design project by Akinbinu Akintayo mixing oversized serif typography, vivid blue palettes, and a 3D-rendered figure across poster and web compositions.

Visual description

Light gray background with bold electric-blue sans-serif type dominating the composition, split between top and bottom halves reading BECOMING and THE GREAT. A photorealistic 3D-rendered portrait of a pale figure with shoulder-length reddish-brown hair and closed eyes sits centered and slightly forward-facing, wearing a pale mint-toned shirt. Small category labels and designer attribution appear in matching blue type at corners.

Key takeaway

Sandwich a portrait between typographic layers rather than behind it. This creates depth and makes large text feel integrated with imagery instead of floating over it.

Reuse notes

Reach for this as a editorial spread reference. Pairs with typographic, experimental directions. Original by Akinbinu Akintayo.
