My goal was to show the struggles of depression during Covid. Using gauche I created a scene of a man drowning and holding onto the leg of dove. The dove is a symbol of hope and the man is grasping onto it as to not drown in his depression, the ocean. I also turned the sun into a Covid-19 molecule.

Using inspiration from movie posters I designed this poster to show the mindset behind intense rules and how the depression can take over the mind and body. I showed this in a simple and easy to read design that makes the audience think about the true meaning behind the poster.
