Poster Remix Critique: Anna Villatoro

PoetryThe poster I have decided to continue working on was the poster that has the circle, almost moon looking shape right in the middle. Although this poster was not my first choice I have received many comments about this poster being the most eye catching one. I think this poster worked because it was balanced, the title and the rest balanced each other. One comment I received was “the first thing that my eyes move through is the title,” with this the reason the title is the first thing they see is because I Kept it simple and made the title the biggest piece of text the readers I could see, second I made it a single biggest “plane,” the eyes could see. I decided to do this because personally I don’t like reading titles vertically or mixed up, I like to read my titles straight and horizontally like it should be; Easy and simple. The next thing that I used in my poster was shapes, well one circle at least, the rest of the info was compressed in a circle almost moon looking shape big and centered in the page layout. The reason I choice this was simply by chance, there is nothing symbolizing why I choice doing this but it worked to catch the readers eye since I got many comments on it. The second thing I did was bold half the text in the bottom circle than the rest of the other text. I think this played with the idea that there was a balance between the title the middle text and the bottom text. Although this was the poster my colleague choice there was still some critical comments that I received to better my poster, one was to maybe use more of the scale factor since I use a lack of and make it more dramatic. I agree that I didn’t take a risk with this poster, so with that said I want to play more with the scale factor. I will add more dimension to the text and play with the text in size and maybe in how I continue to lay down the text. I will also use the new rule of using “gray lettering,”. I also want to add more points/lines to the poster since I feel my poster is very limiting to that element.  Overall, I can see for the most part my final choice is good but has a lot more elements I can add too and even remove.
