I wish there were more clients like my most recent one.<\/p>\n

She has a collection of commissioned posters based on iconic images and characters from film and television, and was looking to add one of Hercule Poirot as played by David Suchet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She understood and appreciated all the references and design cues in our posters for the Metro Theatre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She had some clear ideas about what she wanted (this moustache, not that one, a cane, a hat, some negative space and sans serif<\/em>), but was open to an interpretation of the character.<\/p>\n

We had some great back-and-forth about Poirot; how he comes to life within the narrative and how his iconic image carries so strongly outside the books and films.<\/p>\n

The piece came together quickly, especially after the client suggested watching an episode of the recent series from ITV: “After The Funeral<\/a>“.

Early sketch and vector proof-of-concept.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The final poster.<\/p>\n

I made the background with wet ink on a polypropylene support made by Yupo<\/a> and combined it with vector shapes and some careful masking and softening in Photoshop.<\/p>\n

Aya’s decorative elements add a welcome lively touch.<\/p>\n

The colours generate an Art Deco gas-light ambiance, while Poirot, represented by his essential elements, retreats into (emerges from?) the mysterious fog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
