Poster Designs

I started to try and design what our film poster will look like, i came up with this:

When looking at this (if it were to be part of the poster) the first thing you notice is the "I'm Okay." This is because those words are written the largest and so they are the words that stand out the most. I decided to keep the "I'm Okay" in the blank area on the page and have the not in amongst the darker background so that it is less visible, just like the true feelings of our characters are less visible to their friends. I then included the tag line underneath which leaves the audience with a question to ask themselves. The shape that the title is in is crooked and looks like broken glass which reflects the slightly broken lives of our characters. 

I also did these designs for the poster. Right at the top next to the original logo, i drew a montage of all three of our main characters all sat looking sad and telling themselves that they are okay. Then i drew a girl looking down and crouched on her bed, after being upset, and in the background the 'I'm okay' is there to represent what she is telling herself. I then tried to draw something for the self harm story, in my head i imagined the word 'okay' being reflected in the blade, but then i scrapped that idea as i decided it was harder than i first thought. Rabbi then told me what idea she has for the poster. she said that she imagine all of the characters faces merged together and then underneath would be the title, tag line and the production company logo and information. so i attempted to draw what i imagined she was trying to tell me. She said she liked what i drew so that could be our starting point for the poster. I then had an idea to have the three main characters covering their faces with an 'im okay' sign, to show that they are hiding what they truly feel, and then underneath their faces are revealed and they are in fact very sad and upset.
