This poster is very bold in some parts which will grab peoples attention. On the other hand though, it does come off very cluttered and busy which may destract from the point. I do understand the argument but I think that it's a little too wordy and that there were other ways you could have worded your argument. I like how the word corn is made with corn it helps get the point across. I think you should have chose another font color for the top question because the white makes the words very hard to read and invisable in some places. I also don't really understand why the last part on the bottom of the poster is there. I think that the poster might actually come across less cluttered without it there. I like that you used the picture of the gas pumps next to the corn because that image alone tells me what the topic is. I almost think that this would look a lot better if you would have just left that image and "help stop the insanity". I do think that this poster is definately an attention grabber.
i was drawn to your poster when i first saw it because of the colors. your poster stuck out more than any of the other ones that i saw which was good because it got my attention. However, once i made it bigger to look at it i had i hard time reading it. There are too many words and the colors are wrong. It took me a while to see the white word that are on the white background. You need less words so that you get your point across quickly. I like the pictures of the corn and the gas pumps you chose. they work with your point. However the picture on the bottom, i don't know what it is a picture of but i don't think it goes with what you are trying to persuade. It looks like people running on the highway, and that doesn't go with people who are starving. also, the bottom picture seems to split your poster in half, which isn't good. Overall your poster needs work, but you got your point across clearly which is good.
The size and color of the text easly grabs your attention. However once your looking at this poster the text and pictures gives a idea that everything was quickly thrown together. There was to much text that all supporting images were covered. If the text was shorter then it would look a whole lot neater. The images appeared too close together, and if sapced it could have helped. The meaning is understandable, but the poster confused the meaning. I did not understand the bottem of the image. If there was more time to work on this it may have turned out better.
Although this is a bold font, this entire poster is filled with too much text which in turn causes it to become very cluttered. It's hard to read because the opacity of some of the letters is too weak and not strong enough. It grabbed my attention at first but I became very bored with reading so much text. Although the message gets across, the observer has too much reading to do to find the message. You probably could have shortened the message and stuck with the slogan at the bottom of the poster. That's probably my favorite part, it's very clever but the poster as a whole is too cluttered and filled with too much information.
his Poster does a good job of grabbing my attention, BUT it does not commnicate the message well. Most of the text is unreadable due to your background image, and the font and text color change so often that my eyes started to cross. It would have helped to have had less text so that the background image is clearly seen and the use of a different Font Color would help people understand what you're trying to say.
this is a good poster it grabs your attention. i like the use of the colors. but i think it is too wordy although it really explains the argument but is saying to much u should try to get the point across with less words. also some of the text id difficult to read because of the colors blending into the background. im was not so sure what is going on in the picture at first you really have to look into it.
The font is bold and gets to the point. But all together the poster is just too busy. There's almost too much wording. You almost can't even see the background. The coloring is nicely done, but it's just too busy overall.
