The simplicity of this design makes the poster neat and clear. We like it. The thorns and blood drops are key elements of Good Friday theme and the design captures the feeling accurately with a minimal approach. A design by Luma Vine Creative posted on Behance. Event Branding It is not a conventional design, as it does not include any of the typical symbols: Jesus, the cross and the crown of thorns. Unlike other graphic designers,Khanh Dang used an actual crown instead of the crown of thorns. The crown is a visual symbol of the king’s power (Jesus’ kingdom). The overall design gives an unexpected and rather ground-breaking turn to the religious holiday as well as the phrase ¨The King is Dead. ¨ Black and White A well- crafted design that gets straight to the point. The poster byBert Neal looks both modern and emotionally charged. True Love An interesting choice of words and layout, reminds the viewer of the sacrifices made by the religious figure in the name of love. The unorthodox design by Sherman Jackson is unique and attractive. Jesus in the Background This is the first Good Friday poster of this collection in which the central character is Jesus. Jesus’ penetrating look is also very captivating. The red background meets the white text seamlessly- keeping with Good Friday theme. Poster featured here by Jordan Ouellette on Dribble.
