Red Black Trade Blocks Poster

Create a red-and-black modular trade poster with gritty halftone photos, a route glyph, and oversized stacked type on bone paper.

About this style

This poster uses a strict block grid, rough paper texture, and only three inks for a strong print-like feel. It combines two documentary-style trade photos with one explanatory glyph, plus a bold imperative headline and a vertical kicker strip. Swap in your trade name, motto, and task-specific visuals for any profession.
