Above is my first version of my Tecumseh poster. Just a quick break down of the symbolism. The separate shapes and chief headdress represent division among the tribal leadership between Tecumseh and the Prophet which helped lead the Shawnee towards destruction. The red and blue shapes along with the off white background represent the American flag also as a source of conflict. The two guns one of British nature, and the other of American rustic design who the separate factions and loyalties that pulled the two apart.
Post critique I have started the new version of the poster below with adjustments.
In the new version of the poster I plan on cutting out the bird images and adjusting them to make them more legible and also more representational of a human heart. I plan on cutting small wholes in the heart / bird and casting light down above it and tracing the circle spots that avoid the light. The area underneath that isn't bathed in light will be painted blood red. Instead of the two guns, I am going to use one large native american knife possibly embedded in the base of the poster or mid cut through the poster. The quote would rest between the heart and the knife. Still ironing out the rest of the details.
