Initially, I wanted to use the marble bust in #3 as my composition choice. I even began to sketch the outline for the final. However, I realized that I had little proir experience using pencil crayon and to create the design concept I was envisioning, I would need to have more knowledge and practice on how to record light using only white highlights on black paper. To save myself my sanity, I compromised and went with the design that I could still use the same dark background and light image and text combination, while also creating a visually striking poster. 
I chose #2 as my final composition.

 

1. Using the template shown below, I printed a full size copy of the composition of the poster.

 2. Taking the printed version, I flipped it over and rubbed a 6B pencil covering the entire back of the page.
 
 3. I placed the template page on top of a piece of black Canson paper. Then I began tracing the image and text with a HB pencil so that the graphite rubbed on the back leaves a guideline on the Canson.

4. Next I filled in the text and logo with a white ink sharpie

 

5. Using the colours shown in the photo below, I began colouring in the image with colour pencil in a mosaic style.

6. I built layers of the pigment to give rich colours against the black background.

7. I continued to colour until the final looked like this
