Carlos Prates — The Nightmare
Sports Key Art — Carlos Prates / UFC
Three-layer portrait composition built in monochrome, contrasting the fighter's calm persona with his in-octagon intensity. The desaturated palette and high-contrast skin treatment reinforce the duality between the man and the athlete. Typography anchored by a custom nickname lockup.
Tools: Adobe Photoshop
