MacBeth Poster & postcards - initial concepts as of 9/13/04
Artwork on both poster concepts is *really* rough sketch,
just so y'all can advise me which one to work on. I think either
design would be effective in simple & cheaper black & white.
A few drops of red blood dripping from the daggers on the left-hand
design would be effective -- but not cost-effective to print;
maybe hand-color outlines of drops?
Left: Ideally, I'd work from a B&W photo of OUR MacBeth & Lady
MacBeth, then either leave them recognizable,
posterize/stylize them, or turn them into a silhouette.
Right: This would be a pen & ink style drawing/outline, then
filled with 3 shades of gray.
