Our own movie posters

Above is the cover of my chosen book to make a movie poster. It tells of the dangers of online predators and their danger in the real world.

Above is my rough draft picture of the movie poster I made about online predators

Movie Poster Analysis

Contrast- Picture is in Black and White
Repetition- The picture uses only black white and a touch of grey color schemes
Alignment- Strong center Alignment
Proximity- The picture uses a white/grey background to make the black font and picture of Rocky better

Contrast- The picture uses different shades of blue to symbolize the shadow of night and uses large red letters on the left to pop against the black.
Repetition- Not much, only font choices
Alignment- Stong left alignment
Proximity- The Black on blue and red on black shows the font/picture colors better

Angle Photos

Above are basically the same picture taken of the sun dial and of the Curtis building on campus taken at both a horizontal and vertical angle.

Photography Session

The above photos are pictures I took/selected to show for our digital literacy class

Compare, Contrast, and Create!

 

 

 

The two pictures above are both flyers, advertisements, or informative images of sometime. To analyze the top picture We need to observe the Contrast, Repetitiveness, Alignment, and Proximity.

The photo shows the five workers standing in front of the junk yard wearing their work attire as trash men, with the contrast of the dark trash being different from the bright colors of the mens' uniforms. The color, design, and overall appearance of the men and their uniforms are the same, which shows repetitiveness along with the font being the same. The allignment of the photo is to the left every time. The proximity of the picture shows the men standing between you and the trash which means they are here to help fight against littering in the community.

 

 

The bottom photo of the sunset shows a man in a small boat rowing around a body of water for fishing or another form of recreation. The Contrast of the colors pop as the sunset hits the water and mountains to show a beautiful ray of light. The only repeated items in the picture are that the same font was used and the alignment was to the left every time, which means the Allignment of the photo is to the left! The proximity in this photo shows the sun with some clouds close by, the mountains along side one another, and the man alone in the boat on the water.

POSTER TIME

Above are a couple of posters that we were assigned to replicate using Microsoft Publisher. It was pretty easy to create, basically all I had to do was save the photos that were separated from each other, drag them to the right position, and make sure my fonts, alignment, and detail were correct. And always remember when you're making the project, to save, save, save!!
