Before you create your own Swissted Poster, have a crack at replicating the poster below using a modular grid.
In the folder you will find an A4 Photoshop document with the 7×7 modular grid.

What to do

– Go to your DropBox and in the “9- SWISS STYLE AND GRID SYSTEMS” folder you will find “Modular Grid Template With Bike smaller”
Open this file into Photoshop
You can also find this in the Teams folder here

Once you have opened the Photoshop file, reproduce the poster on the left, the background of the bike has been already included.
