They have the poster already. This is the one thing the film itself refuses to make clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper, textured matte, archival and acid-free. Produced unframed or framed. Deeply researched and designed by me in East Sussex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI mapped Ridley Scott's 1982 film so that the beats of its Los Angeles become stations, in the style of a classic London Underground map. Deckard is the constant line, and the replicants cross it one by one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI plot a film by watching it stop-start, scene by scene, writing down the action. With this one, that method matters more than usual, because the film is built to be atmospheric rather than legible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawn out flat, the structure is much tighter than it feels while you are watching it. It rewards every closer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCharacters and key plot points on the map\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRick Deckard runs from the noodle bar arrest to the final rooftop, and his is the only line that touches almost every other one. Roy Batty's runs in the opposite direction, hunting for more life rather than for people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRachael, Pris, Leon and Zhora each have their own line, and each one ends where Deckard's crosses it. Eldon Tyrell and J.F. Sebastian sit at the two ends of the same short branch, which is the neatest bit of structure in the whole film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGaff threads quietly through the entire map as an observer rather than a participant, marked by the origami he leaves behind. His last station is the one that has kept people arguing for forty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNamed stations include the Voight-Kampff test at the Tyrell pyramid, the market where the snake scale is identified, Taffey Lewis's bar, the Bradbury Building and the rooftop. Leon's line, \"Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it?\", sits on the map as a station marker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do I make each print?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach one is a Giclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper with a textured matte finish, archival and acid-free, so the colours hold for years.
