WPA Poster

When creating this poster I took inspiration from several different WPA posters from the WWII era. First of all, I noticed that many of the posters used images that were very simplified. Images of people especially were made up of basic shapes with little detail. Also, when choosing the colors for my poster I tried to imitate the muted hues of the posters from the 30's. Another thing that stood out to me about the posters was the bold text. The text was usually very oversized and easy to read, it is often the first thing you see when looking at these posters, especially the ones that are trying to convey a strong message. I tried to create the same effect when designing the text for my poster.

In some of the images the lights are black. I changed the settings on the materials and lights several different times and could not get the lights to look right. They seem to be emitting light above and below the fixture, just some of the faces turned out dark.
