This is a very special piece to me, because I give all of my heart and effort to make it look as best as I could. It started as a homework assignment for Layout class, and it became one of the coolest works I have ever had the pleasure to do.
The assignment's objective was to design a poster using symmetry. I chose mirror symmetry because it better suited the purpose and resources for this particular job.
It is no secret that I love ninjas and samurais and everything japan related. So I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to make a tribute to two awesome representatives of this subject matter.
So here it goes:

Mariachi Samurai is an amazing graphic novel I just recently discovered during this past NY ComiCon, and I just love Afro Samurai ever since I watched that Resurrection movie.
I hope you guys liked it.
