Poster (Mostly) Done!

I'm fuzzy on expectations for citation of sources on posters. But I'm essentially done!!

I'm treating myself to editing a picture before bed.

As I've mentioned, I love mid-century Brutalist work for some of the same reasons I love Art Deco and, especially, Streamline Moderne. I think this photo really shows the intersection of Deco/Moderne and Brutalism, even though it predates the latter by several decades. It's all about the repeating geometric forms, man!

Actually, this reminds me of...

some of my shots of the Watterson Towers (completed 1969) at Illinois State in Normal.

Or of University Library (opened 1970) at Northwestern:
