Completed poster

Software: Adobe Photoshop. ORIGINAL PHOTO

  • The reason to changing from the first draft of the poster was because the bruise was shown, giving the impression that is played a large part within the movie which is false.
  • The head of the actor has been hidden to keep a sense of mystery for the film, as well as the identity of the 'secret' is shown instead of the lead actor. Anonymous is placed on the side to work off the fact that the photo is vertical and is also clear to read for the audience.
  • It also matches to what you see in the film.
  • The tagline is on top, in the same font as the title so that the viewer understand that it plays a large part for the poster and the plot.
  • The background colour has a hint of grey as white seemed too 'bright' and I didn't want the colour scheme to be too depressing as the relationship between the toy and 'Jimmy' is technically positive.
  • The ratings flow down beside the image, very cohesive with the colour scheme and are typically what are on movie posters. Also using believable sources.
  • 'Nil By Mouth' is the film poster which inspired us to not put any small print at the bottom, plus, it wouldn't suit the layout itself.
  • The stars have a child-like quality which links to the idea of the toy.
  • By having the identity of the main character hidden bears well with the title of the film
    as it is called 'Anonymous' and you dont know who he is.
  • The prestigious awards are also visible, as the film is a debut release, I found it sensible to keep a few.
  • The certificate is at the bottom, differing to the typical red symbol as it's common to see the sign displayed in this style.
  • The acronym for the production is a mix of all 3 directors (Tahsina, Francesca & I).

    I like thisas a design. Creates interest and enigma.

    Couple of things to consider :-

    Justify the awards to the left or right.
    The stars - sorry, don't like.
    Have you tried any alternative fonts for the title - I am not entirely convinced
    You need to insert the block of film info. Maybe over his trousers?
    The spacing around the reviews is very irregular - this needs to be tidied up.

    Commenting on the version I have (printed off on last day of term)

    Image and title work well. My only issue is with your choices of font style. Not sure about the style of font, the size of the reviews in relation to sources. The stars look like something that has been dropped onto the surface.
    You need the block of credits somewhere.

    Release date?

    Name of director somewhere.

    overall, as I say above this work.

    Few details to consdier - Font style. Experiment with other font styles.

    The size and use of capitals in the reviews and the overall layout of reviews could be better

    the stars ???

    Director's name, actors? Release date? Block of credit text?
