Assignment 6: Design Analysis
I had initially chosen another poster as my bad design, but because the poster has more of a content problem rather than a design problem, I decided to change to this one instead.
Some of the main issues I have with this poster is that there are too many big fonts, thus I was initially not sure exactly which is the title; they are competing for attention. Another issue is that there is no unity in the font types, at least 3 different big fonts were used thus the title issue mentioned earlier.
There are also too many figures, especially those black and white images on the left are all jumbled up together. The proximity of the images is so close together, that the audience won’t know which figure to focus on.
The unbalanced contrast of colours made me focus more on the right side of the poster whilst also lacking of control for attention as there is so much information.
No continuity as everything is packed together so I didn’t know where to start or end.
As for the good poster:
This is an example of a good design that my partner Casie came out with. The figure and the background are clearly defined due to the colour contrast. The background is not complicated at all with just the white coloured wall thus it does not compete for attention.
There is a good control of colours such that the colours differentiate the different groups of objects i.e brown for the knives, purple for the title logo.
There is not much text so it doesn’t clutter the whole poster and the tag line nicely sums up the story of what the movie is trying to convey.
Overall the poster just looks very clean and nicely organised. Good poster!
