This poster appeals to me as it has a classic hollywood stlye about it. As a piece of artwork uses colour and line to convey a sleezy, seedy atmosphere. I like the way the writing mirrors the smokey effect, and the poster has a real sense of classic film noir about it. The shadowy character of Nicholson creeps in from the black background as the bright yellow contrast highlights the title.
