This week’s featured poster is from the film Brothers, using a split complementary harmony to create powerful contrast. The cool blue serves as the key color, while yellow and orange provide the perfect complementary accents. The choice of yellow here, a color that isn’t always easy to work with, is handled brilliantly through the split harmony, allowing it to stand out and really “yell” the title of the film.

The balance between these colors ensures that the blue remains dominant without feeling subdued, while the yellow and orange add energy and intensity, guiding the viewer’s eye and amplifying the impact of the design.
