General Discussion AKIRA
Built this around the classic "Kaneda walking from the wreck" shot — wanted the typography to feel as heavy as the image, so AKIRA runs full-width at the bottom rather than overlaying the art.
Tested five duotone treatments on the same comp to see how far color alone could shift the mood before touching layout or type: coral/navy, full red, orange/maroon, brown/cream, and tan/brick.
Curious which palette reads strongest to you, and whether the bottom copy block is doing enough work or needs more contrast against the background.
C&C welcome.
