Poster for the book "The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

My name is Parole Julia.

I would like to present my poster for the book “The Hound of Baskervilles” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

This book tells about a great detective named Sherlock Holmes and his friend doctor Watson. They investigate the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville. Many people think that a terrible beast living in the moor – the Hound of Baskervilles, killed him.

I like Arthur Conan Doyle`s writing style. His conveyance of the mysterious and gloomy atmosphere is remarkable, and his perfect description of characters` emotions makes the story even more exciting.

I think “The Hound of Baskervilles” is the best of Sherlock Holmes stories and everyone should read it. This book is a classic Victorian gothic novel. It is very significant. A lot of detective films and serials, old as well as modern, are modeled on Sherlock Holmes.

My poster includes a reference to one of them – BBC TV serial “Sherlock”.

There is a puddle in the shape of Sherlock Holmes`s head and the Hound with burning eyes reflected in it. I tried to convey the dark and mysterious atmosphere of this book.

It is a collage I made by using a picture I drew. I scanned it and finalized in Photoshop by using graphic tablet. I used fonts “Neucha” and “Baskerville”.
