Final draft of Posters

Image
Final draft I have made these posters for my final draft. The first one has my model standing on a tree trunk looking into the distance.

The audience may look back at him with a sense of want or jealousy as that is the life they want to have. However, the female audience may be looking at the video with a sense of disgust as they know that that is a dream and not a reality, but also because the women in the video are dressed very scarcely, they may dislike the video because of ...
