These are my pre-crit designs, since my last update I've added the figure of the detective and the necessary text on the front and back. Overall I think I've stuck to my planned aesthetic, with the detective novel meets 40s Deco idea. I've also added a dress to the woman with a subtle gradient on her legs. The path and opacity was also adjusted to make it look like Marlowe was being led by it.

With my poster, I tried to keep a very simple and clean look as it has to attract attention right away. I chose to use the isolated character of Marlowe on the poster because he's very isolated in the story and is also the main focus of the book.
