Kory Schulz created these posters for the BFI Movie Festival which showcases class horror movies. I think these are really well done because of the cohesiveness between them all. I think he hit the nail on the head when it comes to contrast, except maybe with Frankensteins hair and the background. The characters really standout and that is party due to contrast. Repetition is used well when all of the posters are in the same environment, so you can see the theme and that they all go together. The alignment of these are also amazing, especially with Dracula hanging upside down in one of the posters. Once again, he posters work really well together. Proximity in this case is really important because if they were super far away from each other then they posters may not have been considered as good or impressive, because seeing them all together is what makes them so good.
Ariana Louise Villegas designed the next poster, which is more of a billboard. The Contrast worked really well with the red words and white background. But the repetition of this billboard is even better; with the repetition of all the white space to really push the purpose of the billboard, which is an ode to sexual harassment. The event that was being promoted was celebrating women who had broken through corporate glass ceilings. The alignment is different but very successful in this case. having the date all the way on the right with nothing else is the best way to convey when and where, and what you need to know. Having the woman on the left with the words, which is the main focus, is also another really good decision. The proximity is important in 2 ways. Having the two subjects far away from each other with a blank space in the middle is a good way to show the importance of both. also, having this billboard so close to the street guarantees that people will see it better and really not have a way to ignore it if they are just walking by.
Jen Bishop created the last design. This was a campaign that was aimed at NYC Subway riders. The riders were asked to vote for a celebrity subway announcer each day. The main point of this design was to spice up riders’ daily commutes by making the sign more interactive. Having the two neon colors contrast against the white, and each other, was a really good idea because it captures your attention, because those colors aren’t normally found in the subway. There really isn’t a use of repetition, besides the green, but in this case that is ok so it doesn’t take away from the main message, of “staying clear of the closing doors”. The alignment is great, with the words in the middle with the message, and Cardi B on the left just poking her head in, it adds humor. Proximity is used by having the words on top of Cardi so the message isn’t missed, and having this close to the ground so people can see it close up is also a smart move so it won’t be missed.
