Komorebi

This is a layout done for a personal blog layout.


Design

Seeing a pattern here? Yep, I do designs with Japanese celebrities in them. This one is You again, like in the image Clean Lines. He's a guitarist and violinist and this picture comes from a live photobook. I had read the word komorebi in a set of lyrics from a Japanese song. The word itself doesn't have a word to match it in English, but it means the sunlight that filters through the leaves of trees, which is very beautiful. I thought it would be interesting to try to reflect this in a graphic. I used gradients and pulled them diagonally before blending them over the image, and then blending a gradient over the top of that and the result is what you see above.

This image is designed to sit on the left while the content is on the right, like the two images Duel and Winter dream show in their linked pictures.
