Poster Design Process


The basic idea for the poster is to be a teaser for the show "Breaking Point", a drama. A few elements are needed for the poster to be successful. The first is a primary image to look at. This image will get across visually what the show is about and will be used to interest the reader to look at the tagline and information about the show. For this image I have chosen an aerial shot of a cup of tea contrasted against the blood that appears to be oozing from it. Immediately the image feels interesting for the audience and grabs their attention. 



The tagline is then what most people will ump on to read. The tagline I have chosen to use is "Just killing some tea time". Again, taking something that people are familiar with, a phrase, and twisting it to make people think about what it might mean. Combining the tagline with the image will almost definitely make the audience think about what the show is about. They would understand the subject matter to be dramatic given the blood and dark tones used in the poster, but still be intrigued as to what the almost cryptic tagline and striking image mean for the synopsis.


Below all of that is the information about when the show is on, the name of the show and the channel it is on. This is vital to make sure the audience know where to go to look for more information, including the website.
