Love the posters. The borders and copy make them better to me somehow. The last picture is a beautiful portrait, that even with teeth showing, doesn’t make me immediately think photo. Very nice post. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment, Sheridan. Yes, I like poster images in context with typography as well.
