In this project, I undertook the task of designing a poster for my favorite star, Leonardo DiCaprio, employing various techniques in four distinct designs. The first design aimed to emulate a magazine cover, showcasing only his photo, accompanied by brief information. The second design adopted a simpler style, featuring a single photo and placing emphasis on his name, thereby presenting a spectrum of design styles ranging from simplicity to complexity.

The third design took a more intricate approach by utilizing a cut-and-paste technique on different parts of his face, particularly the nose and mouth. This method added design features to maintain visual interest and prevent monotony. The incorporation of diverse design techniques in each poster provides a comprehensive and dynamic visual exploration of the iconic celebrity, offering viewers a nuanced and engaging representation that spans various artistic styles.
