portrait poster design — Serif type, diagonal composition, silhouette

A noir illustrated movie poster of a screaming adult woman clutching a pistol, set against a stark red-black-and-white field. The background splits into deep red on the upper left, solid black on the upper right, and off-white across the lower half. On the right side of the frame, the large profile head of an adult woman dominates, her 1940s waved blonde hair swept back. Her mouth is open in a scream, one pale hand raised to her cheek with fingers splayed. Her eyebrow arches high, her cheekbone catching a blade of white light. Her other hand grips a black semi-automatic pistol at the center, the barrel pointing toward the left edge. The pistol's slide and trigger guard are rendered in solid black silhouette. The illustration is rendered in high-contrast black, white and gray with hard inked edges. In the upper-right corner, her hair dissolves into the black field. In the upper-left corner, the red field is textured like rough paint. On the left side of the frame, a black serif quotation is stacked in four uppercase lines inside quotation marks, reading as "TITLE". The lettering is large, bold and tightly leaded, each line centered on the left half. At the center of the frame, the gun's muzzle bridges the white field between the woman and the text. In the lower-left corner, the final quoted line sits above a small vignette. In the lower-right corner, the white field glows brightest behind the gun. Across the lower third, a small night scene shows two vintage 1940s cars racing on a dark road, a dark sack tumbling through the air between them. Along the bottom edge, the white field fades into soft paper grain. The lighting is harsh graphic contrast with hard-edged shadows carving the woman's face, like a single bare bulb in a dark room. The screaming profile thrusts diagonally against the stacked quotation on the left while the tiny car chase anchors the base, and the palette of blood red, ink black and paper white in bold pulp-noir illustration carries a hysterical, desperate panic.
