This was an initial draft of a magazine poster for our gangster film.

- This poster uses darkness, where only the most symbolic and threatening features of the character are illuminated.

This gives the audience a view of omnipotence. The hands (and gloves), gun, tie, pocket handkerchief, and face are obviously the most powerful symbols of a gangster.

- The character has direct mode of address. This is threatening and engaging.

- The gun is an enigma code -- it shows that there will be violence and vendetta.
