Analysing posters I've created

In order to create a poster appropriate for our genre, I produced a few posters on photoshop so I could develop them for the final poster.

This is my first draft. In this poster, the text is very simple and random names and reviews have been inserted. I have also inserted a billings block found on google on the bottom of the poster. However, these elements will be made by our group for our final poster.

This is my second draft for our poster. We thought that the wall behind our protagonist was too plain so I found some images of grafitti on Google then layered it on top of the walls.This poster is much more developed as her make up has been enhanced to give a more tired appearance as our trailer talks about the consequences of drug-use. The tagline is also more visible compared to the previous poster but we are unsure whether this will be our final tagline.

This is our final poster for our teaser trailer "Eighteen". I have decided to use the above title for our poster because it matches the font and writing in our teaser trailer. I have also replaced the previous reviews with the reviews we used in our final media product. We have updated our tagline as we thought that this was much more appropriate as well as making "From the director of FISHTANK" smaller so it draws less attention. Awards used in our teaser trailer have been placed on the right of the poster to balance it out and the 18 age rating has been placed beside our billings block so we target the right audience. I have also ensured that the font used is the same as our teaser trailer and website. 

Evaluation

In conclusion, I feel that creating multiple products benefited me because it ensured that our final poster looked professional and conformed to common conventions in posters within our genre. I found that layering the graffiti on top worked really well as our genre is teen urban. I think that the tagline in the previous posters were too transparent and could have been edited better.
