F I R S T D R A F T P O S T E R

This is the final first draft poster I have created using InDesign in time for my first set of feedback. I wanted to keep the design simplistic as I really liked the designs of some of the more simplistic existing horror posters, with a lot of use of white space and imagery within text. I think I also have achieved a good sense of colour scheme, using the eye dropper tool in InDesign.

I have found these movie posters, two of which are for horrors, that have similar conventions to my final poster design:

I really like how in this poster, for 'The Last Exorcism', has quite a lot of white space which I think is really effective and is why my poster has a lot of white space. I think it also evokes questions from the viewer and intrigue into what the film will be like. I also really like the black and white style. 

This poster also has a similar style the one above, with white space and one central image which is really eye catching and again, evokes questions to the viewer. I really like the simple text that is spaced out, similar to the title on my poster where the letters are well spaced out from each other. 

This particular poster reminded me of my poster in that an image is combined into the text, and I think this is really effective as it ensures the poster achieves quite a simplistic look, as if only with text and one simple image, but in fact has multiple image because there is an image within the text. The image is hinting at a main character, which mine also does. I think this effect looks really cool.
