Improvements on the Poster

The new improvements I have made on the poster are a new silhouette that I feel is a lot more clear than  the last one I was using. I do like the black background I originally started with as it makes the poster more dramatic, however I am thinking I should play with a lighter background. I tried to switch it up with a white background in another version I was playing with. Hopefully if I can get the poster devices down, it will be easier to do the narrative and website. 


OLD POSTER:




NEW POSTERS:



Try not to pay too much attention to the logo as I am still very much trying to solve that problem.

  1. I like the black one better than the white one, im not sure about the hand though. The poster has this extremely powerful movement with the figure and the direction of the paint splatters that I love. The problem is the hand is right in it's path and it throws me off. Plus if the hand wasn't there my eyes would go from the figure to the copy, but currently it's just going from the figure to the hand. Maybe try moving it,or making it less dominant if you keep it.

  2. I don't really think that a ballet dancer is the right solution for showing the arts. Are there other ways to show show the Arts? Maybe a different form of dance, what about music? I dont think the font choice is working. What if you choice to a font that was not all Caps, maybe with some personality. Keep up the good work.

  3. I definitely like the black one better than the white one, but I still read dance company instead of an art community. I think you need to incorporate more images than just dance. I don't think the hand is working. The pain splatters are way too big for that little hand to paint and it's a splatter. Pay attention to which words you choose to emphasize. Step back and think about what you are trying to communicate for a while, that always help me.

  4. I like the black background better, but what if you added some more dark colors into it to lighten it up just a little bit? I agree with the other comments about the silhouette. I like the new one better but it does seem to come across as dance. It also feels too white and "stuck on". Maybe there is a way to incorporate it with the background better? Other than that, I like the colors and I feel the drama you are trying to communicate.

  6. I think the black one is more dramatic and the white one is a little more playful. But this poster makes me think that this is a dance organization and not something that encompasses all of the arts. Maybe the hand painting on the figure needs to be more prominent? Also I don't think the shadow is really doing anything for the poster, especially in the white one. If you took it out in the black one it probably wouldn't even be noticeable.

  7. I like the new poster much better... also, something about the dancer in the new poster that seems much less awkward. Also I like that you got rid of the logo on her leg... it was kinda distracting. It's definitely coming along, good work!

  8. A nice improvement from the first poster! I also like the black one better. Maybe incorporate many other silhouettes that show other forms of art and add them to the ballerina, then minimize it to fit to the composition that you already have. Overall very nice!

  9. what if you made the whole background paint splatters in order to incorporate arts more then took the silhouette out of it as well as other silhouettes of art objects. Also check your kerning in 'RELATIONSHIPS' and 'YOUR' not big things.

  10. The middle one is my favorite. That dancer definitely looks empowered, but she seems very cold and isolated. Your purpose with this poster appears to be inviting the viewer to get involved in a creative community, the imagery, and color choices are very cold and not very friendly. Do you need the dancer? Is there a clearer way to visually represent how Arts 2 People empowers individuals than using paint splatters and a dancer? Keep working and good luck!
