Exhibition Poster

Exhibition Posters

The layout for the poster is fairly simple, with only a brief summary of the exhibition in small writing at the bottom of the poster. The poster is a mixture of color and black and white. Without the color drops that are coming out of the lens of the camera the poster would be black and white. Without the color, i would argue that the poster would be fairly drab, this is down to the fact that nothing would stand out to you and it wouldn't attract you to come and look at it if you saw it in the street or on a wall in a gallery. However with the bright colors on this poster is brings it to life and instead of nothing standing out, suddenly everything stands out. 

The design of the poster represents the theme of the exhibition as it is showcasing the work of local documentary photographers. This is shown in the poster with several different colors coming out of the lens of the camera which represents each of the different photographers. 

Typography

The weight of the font on this poster are not as bold and dramatic as they could be. I think they could of used more color when it comes to the font to make the poster stand out more. I also think that if the designer had used a bolder and bigger font, then the poster would have been more attractive to viewers. It is a successful poster because it is simple but effective, it gets the point of the exhibition out but without giving away to much information allowing the viewers to use there imagination into what they think the exhibition could include. I also like the fact that there is a brief informational content at the bottom of the poster. This is successful because it allows the viewer to get more involved with what the exhibition is about.

The layout for this poster is again very simple, but effective. By this i mean that because its all in green on a black background, it stands out and catches your eye. Green and black go well together so when they are put together it makes the poster look vibrant. There is merely no writing on this poster apart from the exhibition name, date and time. This poster is color based although there is a black background. If a less vibrant color was used, for example red or blue, then the poster wouldn't be as attractive to viewers. 

The design of the poster represents the theme of the exhibition as it is presenting an exhibition that is obviously all about green and i think with the green model at the left hand side of the poster, it opens up your imagination to possible solutions of what the exhibition is about.

Typography

By using a bold weight to the word 'Exhibition', it becomes a natural instinct to look straight at the word as you look at the poster for the first time because it stands out over all of the other words because it is bold, bigger and brighter than the other information on the poster. By having the time and date of the event in the bottom right hand corner in a smaller and thinner font it automatically highlights to the viewer that that information is secondary.
