Brand X Livestock Poster 1977

This is the poster advertising the new album. The album artwork was overlaid on the base print at the printing. The photograph of the girl leaving the car was cut out with a scalpel and the edge thinned and greyed. She was then montaged in position with Columbia Cement. Once positioned the glass was cut away from the door to reveal the background image. With watery white gouache I airbrushed the slight opacity of the removed glass and with a Sable brush drew in the highlight along the top edge.
