black and white poster design — Extreme Close-Up, Split Layout

A high-contrast graphic noir movie poster in bold yellow, black and white, showing a hitchhiking adult man in a fedora above a diagonal title band and a large close-up of an adult woman's face below it. In the upper-left corner, thick black diagonal stripes slash across the bright yellow sky. On the left side of the frame, the adult man stands in full length, his right thumb raised in a hitchhiker's gesture. He wears a light checkered suit, a loosened mustard-yellow tie, and a dark fedora, and carries a worn beige suitcase in his left hand. His face, rendered in black-and-white pencil shading, looks downward with a weary expression. Behind him, black silhouettes of spiky desert trees rise against the yellow sky. Across the upper third, a black road band cuts horizontally, carrying a vintage car drawn in black-and-white with a white headlight beam stretching to the right. In the upper-right corner, more spiky black tree silhouettes crowd the yellow sky. Across the middle of the frame, a wide white horizontal band creates a visual pause, its top edge trimmed with thin black diagonal pinstripes. Cutting diagonally from the lower-left to the upper-right, a broad black band carries the word "TITLE" in giant bold yellow uppercase letters, tilted along the diagonal. The man's polished shoe steps onto the black band near the lower-left, grounding him in the composition. Below the diagonal band, the lower-right two-thirds of the frame belong to an extreme close-up of an adult woman's face. In the lower-right corner, her dark curly hair frames a pale face with yellow-tinted eyes and lips, her gaze directed sideways out of the frame. On the right edge, her yellow-clad shoulder anchors the bottom of the composition. In the lower-left corner, bold black-and-white diagonal stripes echo the top of the poster. The lighting is flat and graphic, with stark black shadows and no soft gradients, so every form reads as bold cut-paper shapes against the yellow. The palette restricts itself to bright poster yellow, deep black and clean white, with the woman's yellow lips and eyes tying her to the background. The overall composition balances the full-length hitchhiker above against the woman's looming face below, split by the diagonal title band, using a stark yellow, black and white palette in a retro graphic-novel noir style that conveys a mood of fatalistic roadside dread.
