Description of Work:

With these posters, I decided to focus on poses of characters. And in those poses, I want to add more detailed pieces of stories told in the zine done in part 1. Having all the characters that were crucial to the main characters storied were important to add in the scene. I got some inspiration from posters that involved lots of "bunches' of characters in the composition. Such as Huckleberry Finn (1974), Dillinger (1973), and The Spikes Gang (1974). There were some environmental storytelling or just stylistic things I liked. Like the multiple image overlay in The Magic Garden of Stanley Sweetheart's poster (1970) or The Badlands (1974) with the coloured background and black silhouetted foreground. Also getting some inspiration from Wes Anderson films, wanting to center the main character(s) on the composition. I want to try and give the sense that not a lot happens in the environment but there is still adventure. The stories taking place in small towns where not a lot happens. But intrigue may be influenced by the attire or objects of the characters in the piece (as well as a good title and cast).
