Boris Bilinsky's art deco poster for Jacques Feyder's 1926 Albatros production. The émigré Albatros studio paired Feyder's social fable with Bilinsky's sleek modern graphics. Bilinsky's flat planes and elegant deco lettering carrying the whole design. Deco grace, a poor boy's tale

Before a size goes on sale, the file is measured against it: pixels per inch at that size, how much of the picture a crop would lose, tone and sharpness. A size that fails is not offered, so there is nothing to choose wrong.
