Take a while to go over the internet, books, magazines, or any place where you can find inspiration and information.

Draw Your Sketches Inspired by the mood board, draw several quick sketches to capture the idea of ​​your poster. Try not to think too much while you are drawing them, that way you can let your ideas go with the flow. Clean Up Choose one of your sketches, and redraw it in a larger size, taking the opportunity to refine the illustration and draw your original letters. Once you are happy with the result, you can digitize the file to continue refining it. If you have it on Illustrator, remember you can add typography to it, at last leave the file ready for coloring. Choose a Color Palette Using Illustrator's Recolor Artwork tool, try various color palette options until you find the right one for your design. Last Details You are almost done.
