in the church interior, the insurance office and the boarding house, among others. We also created additional patterns for linoleum 'product' in the Big Hill Trading Co. After making the vector artwork, I brought the line art into Photoshop and added the raised texture and mottling before printing. The Fat Stock Show The Fort Worth Fat Stock Show, founded in 1896, is the oldest continuously running livestock show and rodeo in the world. During the film, one of the villains goes there to provide himself with an alibi for one of the murders. To document this, he makes sure he is photographed with the famous cowboy, Henry Grammer, as proof that he didn't commit the murder. This set, although subsequently cut from the film, was an opportunity to get a taste of a classic Western into the design. I created a program, entrance tickets and lots of simple handwritten advertising to go I around the perimeter of the arena. Every typeface I used to make these was one that I created from scratch. Perseverance on those typefaces really paid off here. Background Set Dressing and the Feed Store I always tell people who are not in 'the business' that my work is always blurry, and in the background when they ask what I did on a film. It's a bit of a joke but true none-the-less. Still, I take the same approach for these projects as I do when I'm doing hero props because you never know when the director will suddenly move something up to be right in front of the camera when they're shooting. For the feed store, I was able to create some fun animal-feed posters for the big windows of a building which would be seen across the street from the action. It turned out you couldn't really see them in the finished film but better safe than sorry. D. ROAN GRAVESTONE IN THE OSAGE CEMETERY. PHOTO. E. ROAN GRAVESTONE. GRAPHIC LAYOUT. F.
