Research for Festival Poster- contrast

Good examples of contrast



How is the design concept used?

I think what this designer is trying to do is create a focus on the car without overcrowding the image. The contrast here i think is the use of the photography with the digital. Created with the use of colour, texture, line and shape.It seems to look like the colour has been used to create the road that the car is driving upon.


Comment on line,shape,texture and colour.

Line is quite prominent in this image. It creates a very streamline feeling, like the image is very fast. This works well with its subject.
The block shapes that have been created again creates the feeling of speed, or a road on which the car is driving.
The texture here Gives the illusion that the road is wet, it looks like its just had a few white lines painted onto the road to give that effect.
The colour really grabs your attention, also it helps to create a more digital feel from the photographic element. This gives the contrast in the image.

What do i like about the image?

I like the simplicity, with more designs i'm attracted to the image isn't busy. I like how the lines and shapes are quite simple, but they seem elegant. Also i love the feeling that the poster is fast like the car.

How will it influence my poster?
I think i'm going to try to incorporate that illusion of feeling something, i know this car is fast just the by looking at the image.






How is the design concept used?

This poster portrays a great mysterious feel. The tall dark stranger, but also has a comical side as our stranger has a large glass of wine in his hand. The contrast in this scene is the dark and light, but interestingly the main figure is the dark.

Comment on line,shape,texture and colour.

The lines in this are quite flowing and simple indicating this guy might be a swarve, confident man.
There's a big block of shape in this to indicate the the man. I think it's a very effective way to show a character simply.
There seems to be a lot of texture in the background, it's sort of a haze which brings out some more of the mystery.
The colours in the background in this are actually quite bright, with the Central figure being dark. This is what is giving its contrast.

What do i like about the image?

Again i love the simplicity. But also the hint of the comical is very effective.

How will it influence my poster?

Perhaps adding a subtle use of humor...

How is the design concept used?

With the use of a soft image with a hard, sharp title we have the contrast. I think this gives this a modern edge. This is quite important for this image to do because the picture itself looks older and perhaps outdated. The boldness of the title really ties it well to the present.

Comment on line,shape,texture and colour.

Most of the lines in this image are quite simple, except for the fruit bowl which is a complex unison of lines.
Apart from the fruit, all the shapes are square. This i think ads to the titles hardness which really helps push the focus to the fruit.
The texture here is in the fruit itself i think this makes it look more real.
The yellow colour pushes everything top the front and accentuates the blacks. Also gives more emphasis on the individual fruit.

What do i like about the image?
I love how the pushes the image forward.

How will it influence my poster?
Using colour to emphasis things?

How is the design concept used?

There's a sharp difference between the line complexity from simple to intricate giving it contrast. I think this is a book festival or a learning center. I can't actually understand the language, it's the feel and simplicity of the image that can tell you what it's about, this makes it much more universal.

Comment on line,shape,texture and colour.

As i said previously there is a great difference in the line complexity in this image. It gives the sense that the brain is a muddled, busy part of the human being.
Shape is used to create some of the simpler parts of the body here, this ads to the contrast.
The texture is more in the hair/head of the girl. It brings out the depths in the leaves and the owl.
This colour scheme i think is very good as a first glance it really catches your attention to the poster and is and interesting point in the poster.

What do i like about the image?
I love how its put simplicity and complexity all on the same poster. It gels really wells together.

How will it influence my poster?
maybe to use simpler elements to help accentuate the more complex elements.
