Ancillary Task - Film Poster (Draft One Evaluation)

One of the main criticisms of this draft was that it "looked like the poster for a local gig" rather than a film poster.
However, this poster was more of a test of fonts rather than the actual official layout of the poster. I was trialling the look of the font against the background when it was combined with the graphic. The graphic was designed to be symbolic of the main prop in the film; the glue is a turning point, and so, I felt that it should take pride of place on the poster. However, I wanted it so that it was not simply a canister of glue, but something more stylised, taking the poster out of the ordinary and giving it more of an artistic look. The fonts that were picked were designed to be as bold as possible, while still retaining an aesthetic appeal to the viewer.

Ancillary Task - Film Poster (Draft One)

The main idea behind this draft was to create a poster that was minimalistic. I feel like bold colour contrasts work best when trying to grab a viewer's attention, so I felt that primarily using black and white was a good choice in terms of the impact that it makes. Another feature that I felt was important in the poster was the injection of colour on the glue bottle. This gives the poster a little more diversity in terms of the colours used, and also adds emphasis onto the object.
