i like this design over all. the placement of the text its good, and its good that Death is larger and catches your attention. however the font colors blend in too much to the photo, it might be better if the colors didnt match so much so that the wording stood out better.
Kim, The layout of this poster is interesting. The proportions of the picture and the text are well balanced, as well as the dominance. I enjoy how the picture is the main focus and the words are not. The rhythm of mr. death and the swirling underneath him makes sure your eye makes it around the poster completely. The eye starts at the head and slowly makes it down to the bottom. Between the curve of the scythe and the swirls of the robe, your eye is then taken down to the text.
I thought that the usage of multiple kinds of text was effective. "Death" was the boldest and darkest, which is the main focus, while "Wants a drink" was slightly less bold in size and color. I like how the last line was in a more delicate, soft font because it matches with the top of the poster colorwise and with the fluid motion in the scene.
The picture usage to me was unique. Since no one else used a picture of the grim reaper, this one obviously caught my attention. The coloring of it is eerie and quiet, which works. The only problem for me in this picture was the beer. I thought the coloring didn't really match the rest of the picture, so it looked like it was pasted in, however I did enjoy how the handle was wrapped around the scythe.
Overall, I think you achieved success in the persuasion of this topic. You can clearly understand the topic of the issue, and your view on it. In its unique way of being delivered it makes you think.
i like this poster. i like how DEATH is the biggest and also bold so it stand out the most. the picture idea is also good because it helps represent the death. however i think it would be neat if you tied in alcohol with the picture itself. also the colors aren't that bright but i think it works well in the poster. Maybe just make DEATH a different color, or something to give it more color. overall i think that the poster has a good finished look to it and is strong as a persuasive poster.
mmm i posted that before i was done sorry haha.
the image of the reaper with the beer is kind of cheesy, but the blending you did was good and i do like the image of the reaper, maybe just not the beer mug. death reaping a mug of beer just causes me to not take it seriously. i do like the reaper though and how he is behind the text but still big and on top it grabs my attention.
I like the concept of this poster alot overall. It is interesting to look at and is a good concept. It was really creative to use the grim reaper to represent death and it is an obvious connection to the viewer. It was even more creative to put a beer by him. I like that concept. The colors flow good overall, everything goes together and it looks finished. The only thing i would change about this poster is the text. I would have put a border around the main text to make it stronger and easier to read. I disagree with the use of a cursive italic text in a poster because it is hard to read to an extent even though i understand the choice because it doesn't take away from the main statement. Overall though, this was one of my top 2 favorite posters.
This poster is very eye appealing. The overall poster is very strong and very clear. The picture seems a little far to the right to me and throws off the balance, but that was only noticed after looking at if for a longer amount of time, at a glance it seems fine. The text fits very well with the picture is gives you the same feeling after looking at the picture. The only fault would be that the drink is not as noticable at first glance. I really do not know how to fix that problem but it could be fixed. The angles created by the grim reaper goes very well with the text, it draws your eyes to the text but not in an obvious way.
I like the poster over all. I really like your picture, I feel that the grim reaper grabbing a drink with his scythe is very cool. I think that the message of the poster really just comes out and says what it wants to say, "don't let alcohol end your life." Although the image is cool it doesn't really persuade me to not want to drink(not that I do). I would have used a picture of a car wreck that really shows how alcohol can end your life.
This persuasive poster is very well done. the idea of death is shown threw the grim reaper and the idea of the alcohol doing the killing is shown by the mug on his blade. i love the contrast between the black and white and hte color in the leaves falling. the text is placed perfectly at the bottom with the perfect colors incorperated. The picture being in the middle and the text the way it is gives the poster a good sense of balance. This is very well done.
Kim!
I like your use of type on this. The only thing i would change about the type is on the cursive. I would make it a tad smaller, then mess around with the positioning a little bit. Your idea is cliche', which isn't a good thing. Also, it is hard to tell what is on Death's slashy thing. I feel like this could be a much better design if the imagery were a little more clear. You might be able to accomplish this by associating something else other than a mug with alcohol and having death pwn it. The mug is just too small and insignificant in comparison to everything else.
This was one of my favoite persuasive posters because it is so creative and orginal. The picture of death is really meaningful and really gets the point across. It catches my attention, as well as continuing to serve as the most dominant part of the poster. I thought the different kinds of texts worked really well with the poster. The text was also, catchy and i liked how death was bold and stood out. Overall i think she achieved the goal she was trying to get across with her use of creativity and orginality.
This poster is one of the strongests in the class. I like how the picture and the text all geos together with the color. It is a very dominating poster by that reason. The reason of the picture and the text being in such flow. It is also very proportioned well by the way the text is kind of seperated on the bottom over lapping a little bit of the picture when it is fadin out. EVerything is spaced out good by the way nothing is to close yet to far away.
I love how the text is used and the color of the text matching the picture. The way the text is not all in one line or in equal rows makes the poster very intersting. The cursive at the end looks very elegant and swifty like the picture. I think the text is shwoing elegance so you wont drinka dn goes with the picture so that you dont drink your self to death.
The picture is a great idea about showing death with a beer. It shows that dont drink because you can drink yourself to death, which no one wants. The picture is very strong
This poster did the best job getting the point across of not drinking. The way that the colors were used caught my attention and made me think twice about drinking. I know i would not want to die because of a drink or drinking. It made me wonder if thats what i should believe. I think this was the only person that really got my mind thinking.
