The document discusses and evaluates several movie posters and magazines as examples for the design of a poster the author created. It summarizes that a poster for "The Grudge" uses little color effectively to create mystery. It aimed for a similar effect without using red which implies gore. The color scheme of a magazine, including red, black and white, was also an influence. The poster and trailer for "The Woman in Black" effectively link the two with a dark, shadowy atmosphere and similar title layout. The design of the magazine "Total Film" is viewed as most similar to the author's intended design with its simplistic look and high price point aimed at a similar audience.

1. EVALUATION: PART
TWO

2. This poster for ‘The Grudge’ is a
good example of a close-up
poster, and one which uses little
colour. I feel mysterious about
the poster and find myself
wanting to watch the film. I
wanted to achieve this with my
own poster but decided not to
use colour, especially red, as in
my eyes it shouts ‘blood’ and
‘gore’ which isn’t a part of my

3. The specific colour
scheme I tried to
create is used in this
issue of ‘Empire’, the
colours red, black and
white are the ones
which stand out. The
only other colour used
is the gold.

4. The image to the far right is the poster for
‘The Woman in Black’ and the photo next
to it is a screenshot of the trailer. Although
they are not identical, they have the same
theme of a dark, shadowy atmosphere
and the title in a similar layout. This is the
kind of thing I wanted to achieve in my
own poster, by using idea’s created in the
trailer to link the two products together.

5. TOTAL FILM is the existing magazine which I feel
like mine would be the most like. It has a simplistic
look and it has a high price like mine. I think they’d
share a similar audience.
