The poster for The Perks of Being a Wallflower uses an unusual bright lime green background color to suggest the story will be unique and odd. The central images look edited and unrealistic, reflecting the plot. The title is in a typewriter font indicating the film follows one character's story, a style conventional for coming-of-age genres. The tagline "WE ARE INFINITE" in the middle likely refers to both the characters and the target audience of teenagers/young adults, implying they should feel limitless.

1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower poster analysis
The background of the poster
consists of one colour which is
the lime green. The colour
green has connotations of life,
renewal, nature and energy.
These could all link in within
the film but by also specifically
using such a bright and unlikely
colour, it suggests that the
story of the film is unique and
perhaps quite odd.
The central image is evidently
separate from the background
itself. The idea of the plot being
quite odd is brought up again
as it is obvious that the images
have been edited on top and
give an unrealistic look to the
poster. Although, this could
have intentionally been done
as the film was originally a
book. Therefore there is little to
hide for the audience who have
read the book.
The font of the title is in a type
writer font which suggests the
idea that the film is following
the story of one character in
particular. This is a conventional
style of font in particular for the
coming of age genre as it
indicates that there is a story to
be told.
The main focus being
represented within the
poster is the tagline as it is
placed directly in the middle
of the poster. The tagline
‘WE ARE INFINITE’ could not
only be referring to the
characters but the target
audience. This is especially as
the audience is mainly aimed
towards teenagers/young
adults. Therefore the
phrasing suggests that there
should be no limits placed on
these young and carefree
individuals.

2. The Edge of Seventeen poster analysis
The tagline is placed at the
top of the poster to suggest
the plot of the film. This is as
refers to the youth as the
question is being asked to
the target audience. The
tagline ’You’re only young
once...is it over yet?’ also
indicates that the film will be
showing teenage struggles.
The mise en scene shows a
teenage girl dressed in a
hoodie and shorts. The main
suggestion through this is
that the girl being presented
is not a typical teenage girl as
she is not wearing the
stereotypical colours such as
pink. Moreover, as she is set
as the central image of the
poster, it shows that she is
the main character that the
audience will be following.
The idea of the main female
characters life being followed
is apparent as the
background where she is
walking is blurred out. This is
to emphasis the importance
of the character which is why
the entire background
cannot be clearly identified.
It could also be suggesting
the world in which teenagers
live in as stereotypically the
young individuals are known
to be self absorbed.
There seems to be an
evident colour scheme
throughout the poster.
This can be seen from the
blurred out trees in the
background and within the
title itself. The colour
orange has connotations of
joy, enthusiasm, fasciation
and happiness. This could
relate to the coming of age
genre that the film fits into
as the female character is
searching for a place
where she belongs.
