The poster provides insights into the personalities of the characters and the storyline of the film. Michael Cera's character seems ditzy and slow based on how he is scratching his head in the image, while the girl appears more individualistic and no-nonsense. The storyline of the film involves teenage pregnancy with parents-to-be who are not ready for the responsibility. The bright color scheme and cartoonish style of the poster suggest this will be a comedic film, despite the serious subject matter of unplanned teenage pregnancy.

Hierarchy of texts is used greatly on this poster. Conventionally, the title is the biggest,
and also in green font, the only writing of this colour, and so allows the reader to be
drawn to it. The quote, alongside the surnames of the actors, are the next largest,
although still quite small in comparison to the title. The actors’ first names are
smaller than their surnames, this is a conventional technique as actors are often
known by their surnames before their first names, and so are easily recognisable for
the audience. Tag line, just below ‘JUNO’, is small lettering but as it directly follows
the title, the audience can still easily notice and read it.
