Rat Quartet

We were given the task of coming up with a band that would perform at the town hall of a made up city and creating a poster for them. I chose a quartet of rats, cunningly named the Rat Quartet, to perform.

I looked up when quartets were really popular and tried to emulate the style at the time. I found this was the early 1900s and that Victorian Gaslight style was quite popular. I chose a font that matched this style. For the composition I found a pre existing photo of a barbershop quartet posing with the classic red and white striped suits and the straw hats. I mimicked their poses and outfits but obviously turned them into rats.

I am really happy with how this came out, I think the rats look very dashing in their suits.
