subspac.
The poster has a white and black base with colorful accents to illustrate
the mystery and fascination of space.

sizes, which gives a strong visual impact and attracts me. The title is
located in the middle of the poster, and the title is the impact of the
words.

middle of the poster to clarify the concept of the poster.

hierarchy.
