Working with Ben Joyner, Two for Tea’s director, I designed the poster to convey the same quiet, unwavering unease present in the film itself. Rather than relying on any overly-designed concept, we opted to let the photograph and its treatment do the heavy lifting. The black border incites a feeling of claustrophobia while Drew looking out of the frame elicits tension from the unknown.
While Ben goes through the film festival submission process, Two for Tea is currently unavailable online, but do yourself a favor and check out some of Ben’s other work on Vimeo.
