This is my favorite poster. Its very simple, yet it still does a great job persuading what it wants to. The text in the upper left fits the poster perfectly, and he was smart for picking a decorative font, and it balances the bottom right text well. I think the text could've been a little bigger on the bottom right, to show the point a little better. Overall everything fits well together and the backround picture suits the picture perfectly

this is also one of my favorite posters done. is portrays the image right away and the use of text is very strong. the use of text also helps portray that the earth is a beautiful place with the somewhat scripted text on the top. it has good proportion because the typing on the top is somewhat large and on the bottom with small type. it also has good rhythm in this poster. it flows from the top left of the text all the way to the bottom right to the other text. your eyes dont go all over the place when you first look at the poster. the rhythm helps you read it and it is a very strong poster.

I not only agree with the idea the poster is trying to communicate, but i think that it is visually appealing, and one of my favorites. The picture supports the text at the top by really expressing the beauty and simplicity of nature, not many people take the time to stop and realize that. This is like a easy way for people to realize that earth is beautiful, and make them want to preserve it. Bottom line it is appealing and simple, the artist couldnt of done much better.

That recycle symbol is a Really Cool effect. The picture is great, The message is shown just i had to look at it a little to reallly see what you were saying. Maybe if you make the recycle symbol a tad bigger because i didn't notice it right away. Good choice of words, font, color, and placement. One of my favorite posters.

I really like the style of this poster. I think the contrast of this poster, from the bright recycle logo to the dark tress. I also like the simple message. It isn't too complex or simple, yet still gets the message across. The text of "The earth is a beautiful place" fits the simplicity, and nature style of the photo. This poster is very well balanced, because you have the text at the top and the picture and the main message at the bottom. I also like the small text, related to the tall trees at the bottom. My favorite part is the "please recycle" because it is simple, and sums of the whole poster. This is a very strong and well done poster.

This poster did a great job of picking the placement of the photos. This poster also has a great sense of rhythm. The text balances the bottom of the poster. One thing that needed to be changed was the text, it needed to be bigger.

I really like your poster. The picture fits the message well. The Recycle symbol looks cool with the glowing effect. The font fits well because it is laid back and fits the picture well. I think that if you just made the recycle sign bigger and took out please recycle it would still work. The same message gets across. It is well balanced mainly because of the text. Overall one of my favorite posters.

Overall this is one of my favorite posters because of its simplicity. It isn't cluttered at all and uses good spatial organization, which allows the eye to flow. The text at the top balances well with the picture at the bottom. It is pleasing to the eye and really persuades me into wanting to recycle.

I like this poster. it is not complex but still catches your eye. The text is very light and simple and blends well with the background. the only problem i have with this is the recycle symbol is very strong and seems to not fit in the bottom right hand corner. i feel that you should have made the symbol blend in with the light shining through the tree, so it looks like its part of the tree but remains clearly visible.

This is my favorite poster out of all of them. I thought the picture was very simple and crisp. i think the whole poster has a really good flow and the font matches perfectly with the mood of the poster. The text maybe could have been a little bigger because there is a lot of open/free space in the middle. I also really liked how the recycle sign is illuminated, the contrast on the dark shrubbery is great and it makes it stand out. over all i loved is poster! -Lucia Kollat

this is by far the best poster in my opinion. i think that the layout the used he used makes it look very professional. i also really like how he made the the recycle symbol look like its glowing, it makes it stand out and it draws your eyes to it. i think he did a very successful job at persuading people to recycle without really saying it. i think that makes the poster even better. i like the color scheme he used because the colors are relaxing and make you feel peaceful. the font also works well because again, it is peaceful looking. i have nothing bad to say about this poster. by jenna kollat

This is my favorite one out of them all. I really like the balance of everything and how it is organized but scattered at the same time. I like the recycle sign and I like the dominance of it. The rhythm is also really good because I see the text first and it flows down to the recycle. This poster really speaks and it is very appealing to the eye.

Unknown said...

This is one of my favorite posters also. It is very strong in composition and flows very nicely. the text choice is also great and portrays the message that the earth is beautiful, also balancing and filing "negative space". This is a gorgeous picture, and it definitely gets the message across to keep the earth beautiful by recycling. Your rhythm is also good, using the transitions from the dark tree and dark text onto a light background and, again, has great flow throughout the poster. Very successful.

This is probably my favorite poster. It is very persuasive but it is simple at the same time. This poster really shows how simple and nice nature actually is. I think this is the most persuasive poster for that reason. I also think the text fits perfect with the whole thing. I think the recycling sign represents the sun which i think is very creative. There is also very good balance in this poster and it overall blends well.

I feel that this is one of the strongest posters. I think the simplicity of it makes it more pleasing to the eye--it's not to cluttered or busy. The dark text at the top balances the dark trees at the bottom nicely. Also, the white recycle symbol at the bottom has nice contrast with the dark trees. The use of negative space in this poster really contributes to the overall composition. There really isn't anything I would do to improve this poster, which is why I feel it is the strongest.

This is one of my favorite posters, for sure. The use of text was very well done, and the font is very well chosen. It really represents the beauty of nature. I also like that you changed fonts for the "please recycle." It creates contrast and make it seem like a business-like request. The text is balanced out nicely by the tree in the lower right and the glow around the recycle symbol gives it dominance, so you immediately realize the posters message. The only thing i would change, would be to get a better quality image. The image is beautiful, but the tree is slightly blurred. It's really an awesome poster. Great Job!

THis was a very creative poster. It is easy and simple but gets the message across very well. THe balance of the text and the tree goes very well. The slogan balanced the picture. The cursive hand writing was very unique as well. THe transition from dark to light made a good rhythm in the poster. IT also did not have a float look to it which was a very good organization skill. The tree with the later day went very well. IT gave a peaceful tone to it. It really gets the message across to save what this picture is. It makes you want to keep the earth clean for pictures like this. The rhythm was very nice to lighter to darker of the background

i really like this poster, it fits well with the message that is it getting across, i completely understand what he is trying to say, i like how he used the contrast to make the image be more bold and yet fragile at the same time and the style of the font is great works really well with the poster and the whole message. Great Job!! yeee fred

this is a very good poster. you can see the message of trying to recycle through the text but not the picture. the picture really does not get across the message of wanting to recycle. the way you edited the picture was very good ,and it adds an interesting part to poster. the balance on this poster is pretty good. the text up at the top is a lil out of place, it doesn't seem like it fits anywhere else. the way the picture takes up the whole background fits well with everything else. the way you changed the recycling symbol was really cool it sorta give your poster its own personality.

this is one of my favorite posters. even though it is simple it still displays the message very well. i also like the slogan that was used. i also like what you did to the picture.. you sort of made the tree stand out which i thought was a good idea. the text in the bottom corner is good because its not the "main" thing that your persuading but yet it still sticks out. i also like the use of text. the cursive hand writing text is good and i also like how in the bottom corner you made the text have a glow which made it stick out. overall its a really strong poster!

I like this poster a lot because its simple but the message still gets across. He used a really good picture because it balances out with the text very well and I liked the font choice as well. I think that he could have taken away the "fuzzy" area around the recycle symbol and that would make it look better. Other than that small thing, I think he did a great job persuading us and he did it in a simple manner.

This is one of the strongest compositions. The simplicity of the the entire poster aids in getting the message across. The use of negative space also helps set a tone for the piece. The font choice and placement is not over dominating and fits nicely with the darkened tree. The lightened background and tree against it, really show the contrast and bring out the tree and its small details. The message is the bottom right corner is strong due to the illuminated recycle symbol that compliments the recycle message. The placement of all the elements of the poster draw the viewer from the top around to the bottom and tie everything together well.
