Task 11: Print Artifact - Poster

 I used the ideas for a poster we had come up with as a starting point to create it.

We wanted to use back to back to show the different locations and times. One side showing the past and the other the future.

This was the first draft I created, it has conventional features including

- the colours blue and white
-titles including film name, actor name, credits and release date
- studio logo
- slogan

One other feature is a website address, whilst this wasn't a conventional feature within the posters I previously looked at, the inclusion of a website address or/and a social networking site page such as Facebook and Twitter is becoming ever more popular. 

The main thing that didn't work about this version is the positioning of the titles, whilst I like the position of the main title, I wanted the actors name to be either above or below it and this wasn't possible. As well as that if even if it did it would leave a considerable blank space on the other side of the poster.

This is the second version, I really do like this version except for the blank area of blue space. All of the titles are situated at the bottom except the slogan and I felt that out poster needed a better balance. After creating this version i noticed the blue top showing on the graveyard side and although its not too noticeable, for the final version I removed it.

I chose this text as the lines and crosses it has can show the idea of forward and backward, but it also related to the grave yard, I added shadows to it so it stands out more from the background.

After discussing which out of the 3 posters I had created was the best we decided that the poster below would be our film poster. We also asked our peers for there opinion on which we should chose and the majority chose same one we had.
