"Little Joe," by Jessica Hausner, is a sci-fi drama that explores the ethical and emotional complexities of genetic engineering. It follows the story of a plant breeder who creates a flower capable of making people happy, with unsettling consequences.

The posters aimed to visualize the underlying tension and eerie atmosphere of the film. To achieve this, I depicted the characters in a stark, clinical laboratory setting, surrounded by the unnerving plants central to the plot. The intensive editing and compositing process created a visually striking and thematically relevant image that conveyed the film's unsettling mood.

Achieving the final design required multiple rounds of feedback and collaboration with the director, production company, and distributors. This iterative process ensured the posters accurately reflected the film’s theme and appealed to a broad audience. The extensive editing work was crucial in enhancing the sense of unease and the dystopian feel, aligning the visuals with the film’s narrative.
