The colours and graphic language were chosen to emphasize the storyline and the general mood of the novel and its film adaptation.
The movie poster, which I designed, is about a boy and a horse, however I decided to follow the director's idea of staying away from tipicalities and to express with composition and illustration style the idea of struggle, loneliness and tragedy, so vividly present in the film.
