A retro cinema poster: a woman in a red trench coat stands under a flickering diner sign in the rain, holding a paper coffee cup; bold cream serif title 'LATE SHIFT' across the top, smaller tagline 'Some orders never get cancelled' beneath it, and a small yellow ticket stub graphic in the lower right corner reading 'ADMIT ONE'; wet asphalt reflections, cinematic teal and red palette, clean graphic design with clear separated elements
A retro cinema poster brief with the character, setting, weather and props all named. Concrete props like a ticket stub give the layout anchors for text.
RecreateSeparate the dancing couple and the chandelier into their own layers
