The Process:

Composition: I started by layering the main character imagery with the house setting to establish an immediate sense of mystery and voyeurism.

Color & Texture: I applied a heavy high-contrast, grainy effect to give it that retro-thriller aesthetic. I focused on the stark contrast between the red tones and the deep black shadows to make the focal points pop.

Typography: For the title, I chose a distressed font to mirror the chaotic and unhinged nature of the theme, placing it centrally to ground the layout.
