Death on the Mississippi Teaser Poster

Technically speaking, the design was an interesting case of mixed media. The majority of it was 'shot on location', including the lamp, the cabinet, pearls, books and gun. The lamp didn't work though, so all lighting was created later on in Photoshop. Same goes for the title on the front book, which was changed to "Das Kapital" to match the play.

Finally, I created the bloody 'J' in acrylic paint on a rough canvas-like paper, scanned it and placed it on the wall.

I like how the final result turned out.
