Behind the Scenes: Crafting Minimalist Posters

Why minimal matters

Keeping the focus on a single emotion helps every poster feel intentional. We start by curating references that capture the story we want to tell.

The essentials

  • Step 1: Define the mood with a bold color palette and clean typography.
  • Step 2: Remove anything that distracts from the core narrative.
  • Step 3: Add subtle texture so the final piece feels tangible.

Pro tip: Leave breathing room around your artwork—negative space is your best collaborator.

Mixing Analog Texture with Digital Polish

From sketchbook to screen

Our illustrators still begin with pencil sketches. The grain and imperfections guide the personality of each character.

Digitizing the magic

  • Scan your sketch at a high resolution to capture the tiny pencil ridges.
  • Layer vibrant gradients in your favorite design tool.
  • Finish with selective noise to unify the analog and digital layers.

Remember: The goal is not to hide the handmade qualities—it’s to spotlight them.

Styling Posters at Home Like a Gallery

Build a storytelling wall

Hang prints in odd numbers and mix frame sizes for a dynamic layout. Start with a hero piece and layer supporting art around it.

Lighting cues

  • Use warm LED strips to highlight focal points without fading colors.
  • Spotlight matte frames to reduce glare on glossy prints.

Back it all up with command strips for easy, renter-friendly installation.
