This document discusses the design elements used in posters for four documentary films. [1] The "Ai Weiwei – Never Sorry" poster uses bold, colorful text at the top third to stand out, with sans serif font in white on a colored background. [2] The "The Summit" poster centers the main text in the middle third on a red background, making the sans serif font stand out. [3] The "Kill Your Idols" poster has a punk style with cut-and-pasted looking sans serif text. [4] The "Kassim - The Dream" poster uses imagery over words, with an international bold sans serif font

2. Ai Weiwei – Never
Sorry
The way in this poster is made is that, it
holds the key information in the top third
of the page. For example, the writing in
the top half of the page is very bold and
uses colour s that really stand out. The
text that stands out most to us is, in a san
serif type of font because there are no
serifs at the end of words. But, the writing
in white Is serif type writing because,
there are serifs at the ends the individual
letters.

3. The Summit
With this poster, the main piece of
writing is in the middle third of the
page. The type of writing used in the
main piece of writing is san serif
because of there are no serifs at the
end of letters. The background is also
a tool for making the main piece of
writing stand out. This is because of
the colours used. Because white is a
background, it makes the red stand
out because it is a solid colour.

4. Kill Your Idols
The poster used for this documentary
has a punk theme style to it. This is
because of the way in which the text
looks as if it has cut and pasted on to
put on to the poster. With the
writing that you can see, it is all sans
serif type writing because there
aren’t any serif at the ends of letters.

5. Kassim - The
Dream
This poster uses more imagery than
word on the its poster. The type of
font that the poster uses, is an
international type font but, it has
also been bolded to make the text
stand, so it catches the eye of the
audience. The background of the
poster has patches of light and dark
colours. This Is good because it
allows some of the words to be
placed in those positions, so that the
words can stand out. The text is also
sans serif because, there aren’t any
serif at the ends of letters.
