The colors in this poster strongly suggest a story of hope because the colors range from dark into the light( light at the end of the tunnel). The rain is a symbol of the tragedies of life raining down, but he is able to stand against it and face it. The designer does a nice job of placing one man on the poster instead of several because this can amplify the strength of one man.
