collage poster design — Oversized title, centered composition, split layout

A crime-drama movie poster stacks two distinct halves: a band of sliced portrait close-ups across the top and a black void holding small full figures below. Across the upper half, about nine narrow vertical strips stand side by side, each strip framing the cropped face of a different adult man or woman. At the far left edge, an older balding adult man with a stern gaze fills his strip in near monochrome. Next to him, an adult Black woman with very short gray hair turns her face three-quarters toward the viewer, her expression grave. Near the left third, an adult man with dark hair and a mustache stares straight ahead from a strip edged in deep shadow. In the center strips, two adult women and an adult man appear in tight close-up: one woman glancing sideways with parted lips, a Black woman with short dark hair meeting the viewer's eye, and a stubbled man looking off to the side. To the right of center, an adult Black man with a short beard turns in profile against a pale gray background strip. At the far right edge, a blond adult woman looks downward with a somber expression, beside a partial strip showing an adult Black man with a trimmed beard staring into the camera. The strips vary in width and tone, some warm gray, some near black, forming a fragmented collage of faces across the full width. Across the lower half, the background drops to solid black. Spanning the full width of the lower half, a giant bold condensed uppercase title in off-white, reading "TITLE", dominates the composition. In front of the giant letters, four adult women stand in dark clothing, seen from behind and in three-quarter view, their figures overlapping the white letterforms. In the lower-left corner, a woman with her dark hair in a low bun walks away in a black jacket and dark trousers. Near the left of center, an adult Black woman with short dark hair faces forward in a black top, her posture upright. To her right, a small blond adult woman with a dark backpack stands with her back partly turned. In the lower-right corner, a blond adult woman in a black leather jacket stands with her arms crossed, looking toward the left. The women's clothing is matte black leather and dark woven fabric, rendered almost as silhouettes against the glowing white title. The lighting is low-key and theatrical: the upper faces emerge from deep shadow with soft directional highlights on cheekbones and eyes, while the lower half is lit by the stark glow of the giant white letters against the black void. Muted grays and blacks dominate, broken by the luminous off-white title and warm skin tones in the portrait strips. Overall, the fragmented strip collage above balances the massive centered title below, the restrained black, gray and off-white palette and gritty photorealistic style giving the poster a tense, conspiratorial mood.
