New York, in the Ocean Liner Deco tradition (1920s to 1930s). A hull drawn as a monument, airbrushed steel, and a horizon ruled with a straight edge. The Departure Board drew it from the place’s own motifs (skyline of spires, suspension bridge, yellow taxis), then set the name in Limelight, a real typeface, so the letters print as cleanly as the paper allows. The rule it keeps: No shipping line’s name, flag or funnel colours, and nothing traced from a known poster. Every ship is invented.

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.
