Different formats of poster type



 Doing some research into different styles of movie posters.

AIDA was a concept that a poster should catch Attention, Interest, Desire and cause Action. A good movie poster should tick all these boxes.


A different format of poster styles is the collage style, where it's extremely simple and broken into easy to digest pieces of information to gather plot about the movie and garner attention to see it. It usually has two characters on the image, text on the top and the bottom of the screen and a background.

Another format of poster is the Logo, if a movie is well recognised enough, just having the logo be the main centre piece with attention catching type is good for movie series that have an iconic logo. Such as ghostbusters, batman, superman, jurassic park and many others. The superhero genre uses this format fairly often.

I am also going to do some rough sketches for shapes that will fit along and decorate the page with pattern.

Using a black and orange colour palette is a creative strategy devised of using the two most opposite colours and contrasting them gives the effect of standing out the most to the readers viewpoint and attention. Which is more likely to get more people to notice something that is black and orange e.g. Traffic signs. I am quite pleased on how the font came out, if anything I think I enjoy the 'door to' letters more than 'hell' as they are more subtle and less overpowering than hell, also the little accents I placed upon each letter I think adorn the type nicely.  This alternative version was inspired by shadows dancing around a fire as it flickers, I researched a few videos of fire and noticed how light manipulates shadows when it comes from a single point. This alternative version just makes use of a the extra space and double layering of font colour, the red here is too bright for the picture really and should be a bit dull, more crimson like.  ...
