A compilation of party favors to create an ad for a New Year’s Eve party. Artist/Owner: Plenty. Photo taken from: Typographyserved

When it comes to scrolling through this particular poster, it has a very minimal approach on showing off what is trying to advertise. With the singular photo in the center of the poster that shows “Plenty” written by blown up balloons, you can definitely argue that with singular photo could be a point. Why? My main argument when it comes to saying that the photo itself that is displaying text is that the photo is ends up being a focal point for the whole poster that once you take a look at the poster, your attention goes to the text that inside of the photo. Also there is another point along the poster that is in the bottom-right of the poster, that is the artist watermark to distinguish who created the poster. Then when it comes to the text on the bottom-end of the poster, that contains the information for the party – the small details all can be complied as a line. Since the text on the bottom seem to separate the rest of the poster from all the negative-space that is constant within the poster (that I’ll come back to later), this line of text just shows you all the information you need to know for this New Year’s Eve party. So let me go back to what I said about all the negative-space that is contained in this poster. The negative-space within the poster seems to give the poster a positive effect in makes your eyes go center and contain all the elements of the poster in an organized fashion. Besides that, the composition of the poster does not really show much contrast between the light and dark colors – besides from the photo and all text on the bottom of the photo. Does that make it accomplish asymmetrical balance though? In my own opinion, it does seem quite balance from all the difference between the two sides of the poster though that is my opinion – it may not fully be asymmetrical balance but I believe it is a tiny bit.
