Example Poster

The color palette of the poster above, brings a combination of different muted hues. This combination between the De-intensified urban hues and aged naturals is successfully used to create the intended mood since the poster calls for the public. The palette reflects the audience to whom the artist sends the message to. An urban palette is created.The aged naturals reflect the slums. The illustration of the poster strongly supports the style. A comparison between the slums and new housing plans is reflected. Since infant mortality is blamed on the bad condition of the old housings, the designer brings the image of death in the background. The poster's convincing message, that a change is needed, is successfully created by the artist by both the urban palette and the death symbol.The poster is convincing, after all everybody is scared of death...

In this next poster the Art Deco style is reflecting. The palette chosen drives the style away from nature to a more industrialized, futuristic style. The poster invites the public to a photography exhibition. The Art Deco palette is a combination of urban hues, warm, cool grays and saturated pinks and violets. Optimism and sophistication is created. The illustration composed of geometric shapes and forms also underlines the industrialized, futuristic image. There is a perfect harmony between the palette and the illustration in the poster. The message is being successfully delivered to the audience.

Example Poster

Music,Dancing, Singing - as these words already are telling us, this poster should have movement in it underlined by color palette and the illustration. The palette indeed is more intense, active. In an active palette the intense hues are usually a combination of the primary, secondary and tertiary colors and these color combination suggest excitement, vacation, travel and adventure as Jim Krause states in "Color Index." The designer chooses the intense blues and orange because of the audience who is young and active and because the poster is an invitation to a carnival which is full of vitality. The illustration adds more movement. The movement of water is emphasized by the exaggerated water waves and also by the boat which is played by the waves.In my opinion this perfectly organized poster reaches the audience convincing them to take part in this exciting event.
