This poster was designed for the movie Promising Young Woman. This films tells the story of a university student who's sexually assaulted. Due to the lack of support for her trauma, and instead complete denial of her assault, she quietly leaves her university disturbed. Years later, she sets out to seek revenge on her culprits. Furthermore, she targets others who take advantage of women.
I try to embody her mischievous and dangerous side in the poster using different components such as her facial expression, colors, and fonts. The colors red, yellow, and blue, are recognized as the central theme in artist J. Howard Miller's We Can Do It poster that depicts women empowerment. This movie reflects a similar theme with its female protagonist.
