Creative collaboration: Artwork for "Positives”

I asked my friend and artist Kate Kelly, owner of Kate Kelly Design (@katekellydesign), to help me develop thumbnail art for my pilot, “Positives,” to use in pitches and other contexts.

“Positives” logline: 34-year Alex discovers she’s pregnant right before a day of teaching high school math, which she must get through while battling with hallucinations of past lovers (and possible fathers of her child).

I wanted the art to resemble a pregnancy test, and I thought that watercolor—Kate’s specialty—would work perfectly.

I asked Kate if she could make the title, “Positives,” resemble a positive pregnancy test, and to the immediate right is what she came up with. On the far right is the final image I settled upon.

The bleeding watercolor resembles the look of a standard pregnancy test as you wait for your results. The double lines on the “p” is a more overt allusion to a positive test, and the fashioning of the “t” is a more subtle nod to it.
