Poem Research
While In leeds I took the opportunity to do some primary research and see what Waterstones covered in terms of poems and how they represented in existing books and their pages.
There is an awful lot of gold foiling used within this section of books, on the front cover and on the spine. Certainty to enhance their perceived value, seen as though they're are just pages of poems. It's done to further the agenda that poems simply aren't a lower art form.
However with books like above, which make it look more accessible for the working class by making it look simpler and stand out with the colour hierarchy and block text. Here is a book that is devoid of any gold foiling or decoration with it's main purpose to educate how to understand poems. It's audience is clear and voiced very clearly.
While below there is two contrasting book covers for Lord byron's poems, one incredibly greek looking decorated book with the other a plain penguin classics book. The plain penguin book being accessible with a portrait of Lord Byron. While the other is something you'd buy to look nice on your coffee table. It is a lovely book cover none the less, but it illustrates Lord Byron's poems a lot more then the penguin. In doing so it gives it a more luxurious feel rather then a simple anthology of poems does. More personal and what not.
Almost all of the pages of the poem books, where all rather plain, even in the decorative books. They have a more consideration put into the front cover then the actual contents. Although, yes they are set out nicely, they could be a bit more creative with it.
There really is an awful lot of foiling going on with these books. It's like every other book has it.
Foiling.
Foiling.
Foiling.
Foiling.
Foiling.
(Although not a Poem book, I still really like the decoration on this book, would be very fitting within the Poem section.)
This was probably one of the nicest laid out poem books internally, pictures to compliment the poems, big coloured poem titles. The lot. It enhance the poem a lot more then been surrounded by multiple other poems.
As well as having their own chapter pages.
Black Foiling.
Not sure if the above was a poem book, but the cover of this book is really convincing.
Not poem books, but these were all interesting in their own right. Penguins Shorts. The calligraphy lettering here is used to a really great effect coupled with embossing, a lot of work into such a little book.

19th Century Literature
https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/19th-century-literature
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10210.Jane_Eyrehttp://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6185.Wuthering_Heights
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1885.Pride_and_Prejudice
I looked up the top quotes from Wuthering Heights to see what I could work with, however, from finding someones list of their top ten quotes from it, which seemed to be rather universal elsewhere. The quotes them selves are all rather uninspiring and require background knowledge into what they mean. Which is disappointing.
1) I've no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven; and if the wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff so low, I shouldn't have thought of it. It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him; and that, not because he's handsome, Nelly, but because he's more myself than I am (86). Catherine admits to Ellen that she loves Heathcliff but cannot think of marrying him because he has been degraded by Hindley. Heathcliff hears this speech, and he leaves Wuthering Heights, not to return for three years.
2) Nelly, I see now, you think me a selfish wretch; but did it never strike you that if Heathcliff and I married we should be beggars? whereas, if I marry Linton, I can aid Heathcliff to rise, and place him out of my brother's power? (87). Catherine tells Ellen what she believes will happen with her marriage and her relationship to Heathcliff. She really believes that her marriage to Linton will end up helping Heathcliff, which of course it does not.
3) My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods; time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath--a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind--not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being (88). The extent of the love between Catherine and Heathcliff is shown here. Heathcliff says similar things throughout the novel.

A Few Good Men Poster, Current
I looked into what the current posters where that existed for A Few Good men already, I found out it was a play as well as the film my movie poster is to be made of.
The posters all have one thing in common, mostly: The american flag, or colours of it represented throughout the image, The hammer and gavel, something patriotic to america, Naval officer.
This is pretty interesting, from watching the film as well. They've picked what I would suggest is the ONLY real visual imagery from the film funnily enough. These are really the only main elements that you could pick out of the film to identity it immediately.
