Lionel Andrés Messi Cuccittini born 24 June 1987 is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward and captains both Spanish club Barcelona and the Argentina national team. Often considered the best player in the world and regarded by many as one of the greatest player of all time. He is definitely my all time favorite football player with great dribbling skills and change of direction Leo is one of the best in the world. So with that I decided to design a poster for my kids who also hold Leo Messi in high regard. For colors I went for a duotone look but with the Barcelona and Nike badges/logos in full color to make them pop.  For the background I created an abstract backdrop with shapes going on a diagonal direction to depict speed and pace. Added a hard shadow to make Leo seem to be coming at you for a somewhat 3d effect and last I added his name in a repetitive pattern from edge to edge.
