forest, winds howl in rage
with no leaves to blow.”

Iterative Studies:

Developed Sketches:

Wireframe:

Poster Draft and Colour Exploration:
- Black and white with red as a salience colour
- Blues and reddish-orange as they are complementary

Creating the Poster:
Illustrating Process:
First I used a greyscale colour scheme with red on the girl to use as salience, but I realised that it would look better if I used a colour scheme that gave it more interest and went well with red. So I used a triadic colour scheme of blues, reds and yellows.
Exploring different typography, making sure to keep alignment the same:
I liked how it looked in the second exploration but realised using the same font for the title and for the text, "A Film by Rachel Koo" made it hard to read so I changed it, and I think that it looks much better.

Final Poster:
I got feedback from peers and tutors to add common movie poster elements to make it look more like a movie poster and minor improvements
