I just recently moved out of my house for the summer into my apartment for the fall. The girls who are moving into the house after me were bringing in their furniture and decorations when I noticed the famous "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster on the mantle. I had seen different variations of the poster and decided to make my own.

In this piece, my inspirations were the "Keep Calm" poster and the British 1st edition cover of my favorite book (besides Harry Potter!), George Orwell's classic, 1984, which can be seen here. I used a variety of textures, blending options, and gaussian blur for the green background and cream colored font, and created the two tone silhouette of Big Brother using the cutout and curves features on Photoshop.
