Exhibition Poster

The layout on this poster is very simple, it has the photograph in the middle, the title at the top and the rest of the information below. I like how the whole poster is black and white apart from certain words that are important. I think this makes it very eye catching and this also makes the important information stand out. The colour that is on the poster is also very balanced. This poster represents the exhibition well by the title standing out and showing you which photographers work it is that is being exhibited. Also the photo is one of his well known images. This is a good photograph to use on the poster because it is a well known celebrity who people look up to, another resin its a good photo is because of its composition and the fact she looks like she's gazing write at you, to the viewers this is visually appealing. It is obvious that the designer has put a lot of thought into it. On the poster some of the text is larger then others, it is obvious that the designer has done this on purpose, the larger text is the most important it draw the people to the poster its normally the title, date, where it is held and the cost. The smaller text is normally about websites and stuff also sponsors.

This poster is very simple but also not at the same time. The designer has used two of the images and sandwiched the title in between them both and then added the extra information to the bottom. I like the colours he has used in this he has used a black background with red and white writing. I think he may have used the red writing as the title because it makes it stand out as the rest of the poster is in black and white. I think they have done the other text in white and a lot smaller for it still to stand out but for the people looking at the poster to maybe think oh i wonder what that says and get closer to it. I think the poster relates to the exhibition well because the designer has included a image from each of the photographers. The images are quite weird so that sort of makes you want to see more they're not the type of standard portraits you see.  

First attempt at poster. 

This was my first attempt at the poster. I added a image I might potentially be using, then I added a crystallize effect to the image so the people can't see what the actual image looks like. I added the names down the left hand side and the picture on the right so then it was balanced. There was a lot of space under and about the photo so it didn't look quite balanced so I added the title on top and the date and the place below. I did everything in black and white and the picture in color so people would be attracted to it. When I was adding the text I thought a lot about what font I was doing it I didn't want it to be a font people couldn't read so I went with 'Geneva'. I then dragged a picture of their logo onto the image and made it the size I wanted it. I think I have challenged the perspective of this poster by distorting the image so they're not to sure what its actually about and it makes them think about it.

Second attempt at poster.

This was my second attempt at the poster. I didn't like the fact the image was surrounded with writing I think it needed to be more isolated, this is why I have placed everything how I have. I didn't want the image to be really obvious so I cut certain bits out to create loads of boxes with a little bit of the photo in it. I have used the same font as last time apart from on the title I have made it bold so it stand out, so it will catch peoples eye. I didn't think it worked listing the names so I decided to just put them in a paragraph and I think it worked a lot better it filled the space more so there was less gaps. I added the logo in the same place. I think this challenges the perspective because it will make people wonder about the image and isn't obvious as I could have cut out a important part of it. 

Third attempt at poster.  

The first attempt on my final poster I decided to do it all black and white instead of the important information. At first I chose green then I changed my mind.

This was my second attempt at my final poster. I didn't really like the way that the poster was portrait so I decided to do it landscape instead. I liked that in my last poster the image was on its own so i decided to do that again on the left side. I have added the fresco effect on the image to make it look more like a painting and it would make you think about what is install in the actual exhibition. I thought if everything was in black and white and the main information in a bold colour to draw peoples attention in.
