I like the Photoshop effect used in this
poster, with the use of having selected
parts of the image showing. This effect is
successful at highlight the part of the
photo you want to be seen, it is also
aesthetically pleasing with the symmetry
and regularity of the shapes. The effect
works well because of the contrast
between the flat black background and
the light grey colour of the photo
background. The rectangles are uniformly
spaced between the horizontals which
enhances the effect by adding the
emphasis on the gaps to the side. This
technique is cropping the image but in an
artistic and original way. I would like to try
and use this effect in one of my poster
designs because it will allow me to refine
the amount of imagery included in my
poster.
Poster Analysis
In this poster design I like the style
of how they include the title in the
middle of the cropped squares.
This really emphasises and
highlights the writing, it also
captures the viewers attention
because of the contrast between
the black background and the
white writing. The font style in this
poster is very simple with using a
basic font in capitals. However the
contrast between the simple font
and the busy background
compliments each other well
capturing the viewers attention.
In this poster they haven’t included all
the information that I would include on
my exhibition poster because this is a
poster for a movie. Therefore the
information at the bottom of the actors
name I would replace with contact
information and my gallery logo. I lie
that they have placed all the text in the
bottom half of the poster because it
doesn’t detract attention away from
the imagery and Photoshop effects of
the poster.
