Exhibit 4

Promotional Poster for a Web Series

Background: These are promotional posters for a web series called Average Citizens produced by an independent film company.

Design:

  • Contrast: I used a smoke brush over the city image to help the people stand out more. I used darker smoke along the edges to help draw the audience's eye to the light colors found in the center. In the text, I used a light gold in contrast with the dark red to create contrast for readability.

  • Repetition: I used the red and gold from the girl's jacket to pick the colors for the text. I repeated the colors in all of the text, but inverted the gold and the red to create a difference.

  • Alignment: I used a center alignment.

  • Proximity: Two levels of the tile are close together with an equal distance to the tag line.

  • Color: I then used the color from the title's inner glow to color the outer glow for the people. The colors of the smoke come from colors found in the city image.

  • Type: Raider Crusader, Acumin Variable Concept
