This is my poster process for my own busi­ness card. In my search to find ref­er­ence I found a poster Shep­ard Fairey had cre­ated. You can see here how I took the basic shapes and began to cre­ate my own design. The ink por­trait was done by Shogun G. Cur­tis. Thanks to him I have a very snazzy card, full of verisimilitude.

Known as Exploita­tion films. Grind­house films were movies  that is pro­moted by “exploit­ing” often lurid sub­ject mat­ter. The term “exploita­tion” is com­mon in film mar­ket­ing, used for all types of films to mean pro­mo­tion or adver­tis­ing. These films then need some­thing to exploit, such as a big star, spe­cial effects, sex, vio­lence, romance, etc. An exploita­tion film, how­ever, relies heav­ily on sen­sa­tion­al­ist adver­tis­ing and broad and lurid over­state­ment of the issues depicted, regard­less of the intrin­sic qual­ity of the film. Very often, exploita­tion films are of low qual­ity in every sense. Even so, exploita­tion films some­times attract crit­i­cal atten­tion and cult followings.
