Sun

The contrast of the complementary
colours orange and blue work really well
in this poster at making it stand out to the
viewer. I love this direct split in this poster
because the symmetry of the background
then emphasises this effect. This
Photoshop effect is successful because
the merge between the colours is so
smooth. I would like to consider using this
in my development because it clearly
depicts my theme of the sun. In my poster
I would also use the colour yellow to
depict the sun. However rather than
having the contrast of complementary
colours I could have the contrast of a dark
sunset and a bright sunrise. The colours
in this poster are very intense and use
chiaroscuro, deep shadows and
highlighting to depict depth. Depth in this
poster has been created in many ways
with the use of the foreshortening path,
tonal modeling and overlapping of figures
and objects.
In this poster the effect I love the most is the use of repoussior created by the bird
flying toward the viewer in the foreground. This effect works really well because the
bird is appears to be coming into the viewers space. This technique makes the
viewer feel as if they are part of the scene that is shown before them. I would like to
try and develop my poster to incorporate the use of repoussior because it is
successful and captivating the viewer. The positioning of the bird soaring above the
viewers head creates a sense of awe and is aesthetically pleasing with its level of
detail.
The text in this poster is very
minimal with only including the film
title. However in my poster there is
more information that is required,
like the exhibition dates and location
along side contact details. The font
of the writing in this poster is
overlapping the imagery which
creates depth. The font in this
poster is also created with a design
which appears similar to a clipping
mask. This inspires me to include
one of my clipping mask, which I will
also include over the top of a less
busy background like this one to
make it stand out.
