Poster Analysis

Here are three poster designs that have really caught my eye. I am going top discuss what I think is the best design and what is the worst layout.

This first design is very colour orientated, meaning that there are lots of colours one on the page. That is what you first see when you look at it. The typeface that has been used is a little complicated to read in my opinion, because of the words are in white. The typeface is really fancy and has a really unique patter at the top and the bottom that gets be little distracted. The font that has been used as before is fancy, by it also has lots of different shapes that have be evolved into the words to get a more retro look about it. However, I find it hard to read not only because of the font a litre distracting, also because of the grey background that half of the letters are placed upon. As you look further down the page you can notice a little pink box, with the words 'Be Nice' written in it. When I fist looked at this poster I didn't automatically see the pink text box in the middle bottom of the page. All I noticed was the paint smudges in the top left hand corner, going into the white 'Work Hard' text in the middle. I do think this is a good poster layout design but i would like to think that, you would be able to capture all of the poster with one glance rather than having to take double glances as such.

    
This next poster is one of my favourites, not only because the watercolour design is something I am willing to achieve for my final outcome, but its how something so simple as just words and colour can look so pretty on a piece of paper. When I first so this poster, I didn't really think it would appeal to me so much. The way that the phrase is all the same size and typeface, really grabs your attention. The font that has been used is really elegant in the way that the serifs off the end of the letters all curl almost around to each other. The font is almost childlike in the way that it has been written/drawn onto the paper. Now the watercolour effect is really inspiring to see because the artist that has designed this must have taken ages to get this final effect. The water-colour appeals to me quite a lot because of how handmade it looks, and if you make a mistake on the page, with the paint and water, you can make that apart of you design. With this poster, the way that it has been presented is straightforward; by having the multicoloured phrase centred in the middle of the page, it will be instantly be captured when people are looking at it. 




My final poster analysis is of this very busy advertising poster. Now this design isn't my favourite out of the three but it does have its positives in my opinion. First of all what I like about this poster is the different typographic fonts there are in one design. All of the fonts are bold and instantly stand out front the page, and by having the colour as well adds a little more to the design. I like the background of the poster, because it looks almost rustic and a little old making a good contrast between the modern typography. However, I do feel that by having a lot of text on the page, gets really distracting to look at. The reason I say this is because when I look at it, I am drawn into the top of the page 'Recorder' and half way down the middle 'Pop Bitch', I think this because of the red that has been introduced into the words. I just feel that all the typographic fonts that are on the page, deserve to be on individual poster showing off them one by one, not on the same design getting over crowded.
