Concept
The central idea revolves around strength through adversity, captured in the Nietzsche quote: “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” The composition merges symbolic imagery — a raised fist — with a striking portrait of a woman in a contemplative, determined pose. The blending of warm and cool tones conveys emotional depth and contrasts endurance with hope.

Design Features
Typography: Large, bold yellow headline “Strength.” with shadow accent for visual depth.
Quote: Centered motivational quote in yellow with attribution in orange for emphasis and hierarchy.
Symbolic Imagery: Raised black fist with a splash of yellow and blue paint, symbolizing resilience, empowerment, and unity.
Portrait Lighting: Split lighting with warm orange on one side and cool blue on the other, representing struggle and triumph.
Color Palette: Strong primary colors (yellow, blue, orange) to evoke optimism and energy, balanced against deep shadows for drama.
Background: Gradient smoke texture for atmosphere, separating text from the portrait while keeping visual harmony.
Execution
The piece effectively uses contrast and symbolism to create impact. The subject’s pose and expression reinforce the theme of resolve, while the fist and paint splash add an activist and artistic dimension. The balanced composition — text on the left, subject on the right — guides the viewer’s eye naturally across the design. The choice of colors and lighting heightens emotional resonance, making the design both inspiring and memorable.
