Poster Refinement
Continued influence from minimalist mid-20th century European posters and subtly psychedelic elements.
Expansion of poster's depth for visual impact.
Removal of the original quote to balance white space.
Attempt to better separate the informational elements from the artistic composition in contrast to the original poster.
