Akinbinu Akintayo uses this piece to pay homage to one of the greatest athletes of our time—Serena Williams. This visual exploration, aptly titled "Becoming," employs grid design, layout, and typography.

Akinbinu draws the viewer in with his commanding use of color. Akintayo’s choice of vibrant yellow, a color often associated with energy and optimism, against a serene blue background reflects Serena’s undeniable presence on the court—strong, dynamic, and full of life.

But it is Akintayo’s skillful typographic exploration that truly sets this piece apart. The choice to make the typography part of the visual landscape rather than simply a caption elevates this work.

With this work, Akinbinu Akintayo reminds us that great design is not just about aesthetics but about capturing the spirit of a story. Through his artful use of color, typography, and layout, he tells a story that resonates deeply with those who know what it means to become more than they were yesterday.
