Film Effects: Posterization

Challenge #32 in the "Breaking Glass" series. Hosted by CharlesB58.

Challenge has finished

Posterization is a film effect designed to emulate hand drawn/painted posters from the 40's, 50's and 60's. As with any effect, it works best if the image is strong to begin with. Using the effect for the sake of the effect-or overdoing it- usually results in people dismissing the image because of the effect.
