Minimalist Black-and-White Poster, Restraint Done Right
GPS coordinates, film grain, and a foil-stamped '2026' all sit inside a restrained black-and-white frame — this layout is a workout in negative space.
✍️ Negative space takes practice too: widen the letter spacing, tighten the border, and only then can the subject carry its visual weight.
