A promotional poster for the 54th annual Chicago International Film Festival, presented by Cinema/Chicago. This piece was great fun to develop, using some of the visual language of Art Deco to give some retro Hollywood drama to the presentation. Subtle textures were included to recall older techniques in poster design such as airbrushing and hand painting. Two different saturation levels allow the more muted background to recede back, while the crucial festival information moves forward.
