Illustrated story - Foundation project

This is my final major project from my foundation course. The images are based on the short story 'Finger Man' by Raymond Chandler. I wanted to explore the theme of film noir/detective stories using graphic design and bold imagery. I constructed the posters using a combination of digital image, collage, photography and manipulated image. Whilst I like the traditional use of monotone for noir imagery I tried to avoid this by using some pastel colours that were present in many of the posters to give a sense of cohesion and a subtle colour theme.
