For my research project, I decided to read up on one of my favorite writers, Edgar Allan Poe.I myself, really enjoy reading and writing and my style if influenced tremendously by Edgar Allan Poe, Stephen King, and H.P. Lovecraft. I think what I like about them is their ability to write about the odd or the weird or the mundane and make them absolutely terrifying and interesting.
I already knew quite a bit about Poe, but I did some more research and reread some of my favorite pieces by him. I then decided to make a poster in Photoshop that would tell anyone looking at it quite a bit about Poe at a glance. Furthermore, I tried to do so in a style that was Poe-esque so that people could get a feel for his niche and possible become intrigued.
Quotes used in the poster can be found in the following works:
The Raven, by Edgar Allan Poe
The Bells, by Edgar Allan Poe
The Cask of Amontillado, by Edgar Allan Poe
The Pit and the Pendulum, by Edgar Allan Poe
The Masque of the Red Death, by Edgar Allan Poe
