The reasoning behind my poster is my topic was animation. This project was the one I was most into, unlike the other projects in this class, this idea went through over 4 stages of developement before I actually chose the layout I wanted, and the characters I wanted to incorperate. The idea to make my poster into a "comic strip" like layout, came from the idea that illustration, and comics are the flat non moving cousins to animation. So in order to get the feeling of cartooning, and animation, naturally comics came to mind.
As far as the history part behind the project goes, I wanted to give people a very simple look into the art of animation and how difficult it really is without completely BORING everyone to death, as the topic isnt a boring one what so ever, so why make the poster boring? so i made a joke about it in my poster. as for art elements, i tried to implement the rule of thirds by placement of characters and text off center, and by haveing the characters looking at eachother or communicating from the top to bottom, it takes the eye all over the piece. so my goal was to create a fun and friendly poster that anyone can pick up and hopefully appretiate the love that goes into animation from the artists invlved, or at least respect the work animators put into their jobs.

3 favorites
My First favorite poster is the Iron Man poster. the reason this poster engages me is how the heads of the characters draw you into the text of the poster. the level of importants of each character starts at the top from very, to the bottom, not very important. The text itself feels very machanical, which fits with the movies theme.
My second favorite is the Dark Knight poster of all three characters faces. the most important thing is the formality of the piece. very formal, as the text is perfectly aligned with the character images. the text also nests at the top, and the spacing is varied between words. The choice to give each character something important to them in thier hands is also an interesting choice.
My last favorite is the Indiana Jones poster. the artisic design, of a painted look fallows suit with the older movies, and shows Indy standing tall and strong despite his age. the image has a deep red pulsating background, with relics surrounding the red gap in the background. subliminally you see a skull in the red, but it doesn't look like a human skull, this makes the viewer twice as interested. also the indiana jones lettering is subliminally aligned with the skull in the background.
