Out from the bottom of the stacks comes another version of “Untitled (X)”. I completed a couple of these a year or two ago, but somehow just completely forgot about them.

I wanted to try this design on black with some opaque inks in coordinating neutrals. It turned out well enough, though it seems to lack a certain spark. At the very least it offers a stark contrast to the versions in pop colors on white. It certainly sets a different mood or atmosphere—even more so enveloped by the black frame.

Wow. It’s getting better by the second. Perhaps all X ever needed was a bit more consideration and context.
