INVITE

 as you all know art and design is my passion...Here is what I have created for our senior show! :)

Inspiration for Indemity Posters

 I've been looking over and sketching out some ideas for posters. The route I think I'm going to take is to draw inspiration from classic film noir posters, such as these:

I really enjoy the graphic illustrations, so I'll be emulating that in mine. I really like the Maltese Falcon poster, but I might mix elements from all of these into one. (Metropolis is more of a sci-fi movie but the art deco look is something I also think could work nicely for Indemnity)

that's all for now!
