Top Posters of 2010: #3. For Colored Girls

Date:

3. For Colored Girls (U.S Theatrical Poster)

 

Distributor: LionsGate Films
Tagline: “Many voices. One Poem”
Comments: For years now, whenever a new Tyler Perry film production is announced, we can anticipate a wonderful array of teaser posters and final one-sheet from Lionsgate Films. I’m not sure what to say about this Ignition Print designed print, other than it’s simply a striking piece of art. I would love to have this hanging on my wall. The watercolors bleeding down as tears into the copy. The sadness of the eyes behind the splotches of color bringing to the page a visual representation of the full title of Ntozake Shange’s play, “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf”. It’s definitely a daring piece of marketing that is closer to art than marketing.
