16 of 25: poster research.

Since I was going to make a poster for my animation(s) I thought it would be best to do some research into how posters are layed out and presented. Text colour composition, look and feel. All of it being something important and gives meaning to the poster itself. Most posters tend to focused on a main characters or event of its respected animation,
for example one of Tintin’s posters contain a compilation of in film shots and ‘mug shots’ of secondary characters


Some posters designs such as Tim burtons 9 gives off the feeling of being alone and lost in a world that’s been forgotten. Each poster from 9 feature either the main character ‘9’ by himself, or standing in front of the other surviving “beings’





On a similar note, quite a few animation posters opt to display one of its key characters in a pose, mostly looking towards the camera/ off screen in the middle of an action, examples of theses are Monsters University, Rise of the Guardians and /Frozen(along with many others)

Most of the animation posters all have a central/ middle line of focused where its main character(s) is front and center with secondary characters standing beside them (normally either a full body shot or a mid section upwards shot) , and the ‘bad guy’ of the story larger and more dominant
