To get this angle, I placed the figure on a spice pot, the shadow in the bottom of the picture is created by the top of the pot (I wanted this shadow).
I was also inspired by a scene I vaguely remember seeing in a movie (I think it was in a Indiana Jones - not sure) where the villain makes a speech while there is a huge poster of him in the background. Heizinger and the box artwork were perfect for that.
