Design #1: The Left-Overs Collection Poster https://pin.it/5rqwPPC

Description:  This poster is giving me a richly colourful vibe and each of the pictures blend well together in this poster. The poster layout is also neatly and comfortable to watch. They put the unused raw materials together to create a striking look-book recycling unused photos of past campaigns.

Design #2: Typeface Design Poster https://www.pinterest.com/pin/13018286417916574/

Description:  I like the font design which reflects the cool 3D effect and the bubble luster are also great with the details. This poster reflects on the graphic design, typeface, blender render, fonts and y2k design.

Design #3:  McDonald's Poster https://www.pinterest.com/pin/94857135894093885/

Description: This professional campaign titled 'McDonald's Stages' was published in Germany in June, 2019. It was created for the brand: McDonald's.The design of this McDonald's poster is super creatively that uses the burger outline to represent the signature of this shop.Thus, the lighting of this poster makes us focus more on the item that it shows.
