# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Hand-Painted Bollywood Poster: Faking the brushwork by filtering a photograph skips the step of recomposing as painting, so the scale of faces and scenes stops meaning anything.
# - Circus Poster: Chasing density without building a hierarchy buries the date and place, and the sheet becomes something people look at and then forget.
