This poster for P.S. I Love You is a simple poster using a simple colour scheme of red, black and white. Simiarly to previous posters such as 50 First Dates, the names of the actors are nearer the top of the page and have no space between them but instead their last names are made to be more clearer in a different colour and bold to make them more prominent. "P.S. I Love You" is hand-written to link with the idea of putting it at the end of letters. It is in red to suggest romance and also links with the red of the last names of the actors, the actress' top as well as the website address at the bottom of the page. There is a tagline which helps to give more information about what the film is about saying that "Sometimes you have to live life one letter at a time" this shows that it is about letters which links with the title. The credits of the film are again condensed and put at the bottom of the screen, and there is the singular image of the two protagonists of the film which are large and close together to show that they are in love. With the actress wearing red, this could suggest that she is seductive but also that she is romantic and it ties in with the colour scheme promoting the idea of romance. The male is looking at her, smiling which shows that he is in love with her whilst she looks to the camera suggesting that there is something stopping her being with him. By also saying that the same producer from "Devil Wears Prada" is working on this film, this also persuades the audience members who watched and enjoyed Devil Wears Prada to go and see this film too. The poster is simple but effective as it delivers the sufficient information without giving the story away.
