On the second pass of the poster for What the Constitution Means to Me, I had the actress much smaller. What I liked about this design was that the Constitution shows up quite well against the light shining on the wall. I also like that the American Legion photos seem to go on forever, and the authors name is crisp and clear against the light.
Having the podium and American Legion symbol helped set the place but I needed to change the focus and zoom in on the actress. I also had her smiling so broadly that you can not see the whites of her eyes. I would have to change that.
Working digitally I could borrow elements from previous versions of the poster which saved me from having to repaint them.
