Graphic Design

One of my favorite movies at the moment is the new comedy entitled, "Knocked Up." This is a tiny picture but I couldn't get it to be any larger. I think this illustration does a good job in setting the tone for the content of the movie. The first thing the viewer notices is the KNOCKED UP in the center. It is red as if to suggest an emergency, and "knocked" is centered across both of the main characters which ties them evenly into the picture. The "up" isn't centered and is placed under the female which also suggests that the problem might be heavier for the female character than the male. The atmosphere surrounding the title is simple and relaxed, which is consistent with the tone of the movie as it is a comedy.
