Above is the poster we designed for our film. We took the idea of the teenagers standing in front of something plain from 'Adulthood.' The poster shows a clear gap between the 'happy couple' and the rejected girl and symbolises how the main character went from having it all to having nothing. The space between the characters in the poster and their body language summarizes the film’s narrative. We chose to have the word 'Truth' in a bold red to make it stand out. As the film develops, the audience begin to understand why the word stands out on the poster as the protagonist soon learns the truth of what she's caused for herself.
When we first came up with the design of our poster, the word 'Simple' was in a baby pink and 'Truth' was in a baby blue. We originally chose this colour scheme as it represents both sexes in our film as well as relates to our genre of a teen drama. As a group we made the creative decision to change to a black and red colour scheme which is harsher and bolder. We felt that the baby blue and pink contrasted too much with the poster's narrative.
