Step by step guide to create a composition

Here we have used an image here. You can use a background colour or hatched texture as well.

Adjust the brightness of the image to ensure there is sufficient conrast and legibility of text.

Add the call to action or key message in large letters in the 1.8 font.

Use Noto Condensed Italics for supporting information. Play with colours to create visual interest.

Lastly add the logo. Use the black or white logos on images according to the contrast.
