This promotional poster is for the popular American TV series, desperate housewives. The poster consists mainly of blue and red colours, leaving a simplistic finish, however the composition of the items within the poster make it seem overpowering.
The positioning of the ladies on top of the mountain of apples suggests to the audience that they are all strong, independent women. The costumes are created to look like a gladiator which adds to the empowering feel, however; they are still elegant and flowing to show the audience that these ladies are classy.
The weapons that are being held show the viewer the different personalities that they have. The lady in front is holding a shield which suggests she may be hiding behind something or someone to prevent her from getting hurt. While others are holding weapons that could damage showing that they are not afraid to hurt other people to get what they want.
The apple is an important symbol within desperate housewives; there are many ways it can be interpreted. It could be symbolising temptation within the town of Fairview where the housewives live. Or it could symbol love; in its bold red colour, or death, with it being the colour of blood and the symbol in snow white where the apple is poisoned.
I like this promotional poster because it is empowering for women and leaves you wondering what might happen to these "desperate housewives".
