This is our first poster design, using on of our images depicting our character walking toward her house. We chose black and white for this image as we wanted to emphasise her motion and journey, as through black and white only the character and destination (door in distance) are visible. The use of dense, black background surrounding the door really enhances the light illuminating from behind the glass, which creates a surreal effect, and could be misleading implying a place of saftey. It also emphasises the actual glass pane itself, with its criss-cross pattern similar to that of bars of a prision, suggesting that character is trapped both literally and metaphorically.
Two images of our character have been used in this image, the foreground image blurring at the edges and becoming opaque, allowing us to see the character again further forward. This represents our characters spilt, unstable personality, as she constantly flips between highs and lows. It also highlights her progression towards the house, this movement is not fluid and shows the character standing rigid, showing her discomfort and awkward nature. The blur we have used creates a surreal effect, almost dreamlike as she appears to 'float' forwards.
We chose to use a sans serif font for the copy, allowing easier reading and keeping it simple to allow the image to speak for itself. A grey blur has been placed around the edge of the text, creating a fuzzy effect that I like because not only does it blend with the character showing the connection between the words and herself, but it again implys the lack of stability in her life, as her edges are always blurred.
Out of all of our posters I would rate this my third favourite, simply because I like the actual image used on the other two more.
