DescriptionDesign and create posters, ads, DVD covers and other promotional materials like t-shirts, hats, and mugs using original works or work derived from screenshots in the film. You don't necessarily have to have skills in all these areas. Multiple persons could do this or we could go with someone with just some of these skills. The poster here is the first one I came up with. It's simply black and white text. Open to more suggestions. At this point I can only offer copy and credit in compensation. But that could change if the film is successful.
ShotsA gruesome poster just for fun.I did this after a gruelling day, so sorry if it's a BIT gruesome. It can't be used as an original poster, since i'd have to paint the scull instead of using another guy's painting (the resolution is too low, too). But i thought i'd just post it for fun and inspiration. N'joy. Thanks to Tuomas Kaikkonen fo inspiration on the jolly rodger thing. 
 CommentsLooks interesting, I think the skull looks a little like an alien or something now. People might get the impression that it's some kind of invasion from outer space that is going to kill them;-) This is example of Jolly Roger mixed with Stripes of US flagI made this example first by hand and then retouching with GIMP on Linux.

CommentsYes, I did that and gave a new shot. See above this one. Maybe it could be combined with the original poster and text? Background picture a mix of Jolly Roger and US FlagI suggest making the background image a mix of a Pirate's Jolly Roger flag and the flag of the USA. Goes well with the theme "die" and "a truly american horror". Also makes you associate health care insurance with piracy (they are just robbing us blind and giving nothing in back!). While the government is turning the blind eye... ... Here is a good explanation of "robbing someone blind": http://www.answers.com/topic/rob-someone-blind

Thanks, Tuomas. Too bad most of them are very low res and i hate to work with that.. I'll see if i get a brilliant idea with those x-rays..
Maybe i'll find time to paint a skull, scan it for the poster, and then put it on my door with a text: "No spam mail, or you else..."
Jani, there are a few (CC) Attribution and derivative work approved photos of skulls in commons.wikimedia.com , For example:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:SkullFromTheFront.JPG
You could perhaps take that as a base and derive from it.
Another idea that popped to my mind was to make the skull a X-Ray image of a skull, which make the skull to be less associated with death and more with health care. Maybe a visible light image of skull is better though.
Updated the poster with a more grungy font look and a better thermometer.
