Poster: A dark investigative exhibition poster built around a crime-board collage

Build a nearly black charcoal background layered with dim archival photographs, maps, forms, envelopes, and pinned documents. Use thin crimson cords and knots to connect evidence points across the composition, then introduce two or three sharply lit orange-red silhouettes as the only bright figures. Keep most elements low contrast and partially obscured, with selective red highlights, grain, and gallery-poster restraint. Add a brooding, forensic atmosphere with hard directional light and deep shadows.
