Essay

Essay
My poster is the history of batman. Now why is this interesting or important you ask? Well batman is a superhero who has influenced children for over 70 years. The dark colors and the sharpe angular design interreges the audience. The placement and shape of the text leads down to the central focal point drawing in its viewers. However my design does not fully conform to the rule of thirds, because of the effect of the text converging down to the lower half of the design. This gives it the illusion of batman being dead center when actually he leans more left. I applied the principles of design as batman the title and batman the illustration being the points of emphasis. Contrast of white to black and the two shades of blue in the piece. I used repetition in the starburst pattern background and in the colors I used. I used alignment with the text and background shapes, the text balances what would have been top have piece. I used flow in the ripples going down his cape to give it a more finished appearance. The color sets the mood and works to enhance the pieces intensity, while the type keeps the balance and leads to the main focal point of the piece.
