This poster for Larry Clark and Harmony Korine's first film, the dark and serious drama Kids (1995). The bright and colorful block photos of the children on the cover alongside the hand drawn title has the connotation of a youthful and innocent vibe that could mislead audiences into believing that the film is a wholesome and positive coming of age film about the excitement and carefree joy of being in relationships at a young age. The only text used states the director of the film and the three main actors, which were all practically unknown names in the industry at the time, connoting that this information was used to juxtapose the playful graphics with dramatic text to give the viewer the illusion that something may be slightly off in the film.
