Movie Poster Critique: Stephen Carty

The "WOODZ" poster shows the main character Stephen looking through the darkness. It is definitely a horror movie involving zombies, hence the "Z" in "WOODZ".

As the darkness flows down, we see a black and white picture of a Jeep going down a dirt road through the forest. The black and white makes you automatically look at the blood-red Z in the title. The flow starts from the top with the title and ends at the bottom with the Jeep. Everything works together and gives off a vibe that makes you want to see the movie. It isn't too complicated like most movie posters nowadays and that's what makes it work so perfectly.

The only thing I would fix is the shadow underneath the Jeep. It looks very solid so I would blur it some more whether it is staying still or moving. Adding a rating and some cast would be nice, but isn't really required. The poster overall is well done and only needs one small fix, which is small compared to all the good things in the "WOODZ" poster.

Movie Poster Critique: Zachariah Huber

We see Monsieur Baguette, Bagel de Plain, Mold Y. Bread, Rye, and Toast. They are disturbed and shocked after witnessing the death of Milho by the Loaf wearing a hockey mask and wielding a knife. In the distance, The Man of Gluten draws near to consume them all. (This is my idea of what the plot is since I didn't see it on the blog)

"The Breading" gives off a horror/comedy vibe by using dark colors and bright colors to make everything pop. The title starts in the upper left corner, leading to the actor and characters, then ending with the rating in a > motion. This works really well and helps the audience see this motion.
Zachariah used himself as a way to show emotion in his characters by cutting and pasting his eyes and mouth to them. He makes sure they all look different from one another. He also plays as the figure looming over the characters as though he is about to eat them.

With more time, I would have recommended cleaning up the faces so they don't look like they were just pasted on the bread. I don't know if this was intentional, but the horizon cutting into Zach's face is kinda distracting to me so I would personally edit that by making his face completely dark like a shadow, similar to how he did his hand. For the rating I would get rid of the white background and change the text white to make it pop out more. Overall, "The Breading" movie poster by Zachariah was well done and had more positives than negatives.

Homework #7

Milton Glaser is like every artist. The customer gives us something to work with and we find our own way to present what they want. Many things we see outside, inside, and online were thought out in order to get our attention. Our customer may give us something like a quote or a person that they want themselves or other people to remember. It takes multiple sketches, multiple revisions, and multiple times where we have to make sure everything ties in together. Glaser realized one day that he didn't need to follow every rule in creating good design. He explains to his audience what he wants them to learn. He also used old ideas in his final product. When we struggle on something, the first person we usually talk to first is the person we know best. Ourself. We know what we want to do. As soon as we focus on what we are working on, we take bits and pieces of everything we already have to create something new. Art can be made in many ways. All we need is our imagination and the determination to get it done. Sometimes not following the rules leads to get the best result.
