I like keeping things simple and not having to incorporate colors make design more dynamic and I think the photo portrait shows the dynamic lighting of the photo. Some might say the photo has too much going on in the background but that’s why I blurred it out. The main object of the photo isn’t really the person put the negative space around it. The original project idea had the font in a bigger size. After trying what my peers said about placing the text in a different area I came to the conclusion that it’s better off where it’s at.
