For this reverse engineering post I wanted to find a poster that plays with gradients, and sticks to one color, so close to a project that I am working on right now. So right of the bat you see that the lines are bringing you to the center of the poster.

And after that you can see that the overall theme is that color red.

The only different color of the poster are the mountains, which are grey. That adds a nice element of contrast to the red without going overboard. The next thing you can see are the gradients. But it is a very unique use of gradients, and very subtle use of them as well.

It is so well done, that unless you were looking for them at all you wouldn’t really see them. But the designer used them all over the poster. Over all I just like how the designer was able to take simple elements and combine them into a visually appealing poster.
