My Solution
I wanted the poster to scream “Action Reaction,” so I froze the moment a cue ball smashes into a rack of pool balls—simple, bold, and instantly dramatic. I leaned into deep burgundy and ivory for high contrast, then angled the type to mimic the balls’ trajectories, guiding the eye across the design. Subtle grain and lighting effects give it that cinematic feel, while the clean layout keeps event details front and center.
