Poster Feedback

After I finished creating the first poster, we went to get feedback on what we needed to change. Isaac posted a picture of the poster on social media to see what people thought about it.

The general response was positive, however a lot of people picked up the punctuation errors in the poster. There were no apostrophes for "Death's" and "Man's". This was slightly frustrating as the fonts I used for the title were custom and actually didn't include apostrophes , therefore I had to make them custom with Photoshop.

Secondly I went and showed some students the film poster to get some feedback. I got some really good feedback from a student who is studying graphics design at a BTEC D* grade. He said that the landscape doesn't work with the poster. Originally we thought it was good to subvert the conventions of a film poster as it is unique, however from a public designers point of view it is portrait for a reason and that reason is it generally looks better. There is less unused space on the poster which means it is easier to get drawn into the bits you want the audience to see.

Finally I got some feedback from general people I know, asking them if there was anything they see that needs changing. One of those said people said the text at the top didn't look right, it was too far to the left and generally didn't work on an angle. I was soon to change that and have to admit looking back at it now i subconsciously was feeling the same way, I knew there was something that looked off about it but it was very useful having that second opinion on the text to point out what needs fixing.
