Regarding my first project, “Battle Royale Book Cover”, my goal was to briefly summarize the book in subject matter and tone; I wanted people who saw the cover to be curious enough to want to know the relevance of the imagery, but not to gather all the details of the story because of the imagery. With my second submission, “Run Lola Run Movie Poster”, I wanted to visually explain the excitement and complexity of the movie; I did this by adding many elements to the poster (lot of words, multiple elements to the main visual image, many shades of red), in addition, I designed it so the elements, although many, would work together.

I believe if the image of the child were cropped from the bottom of the eyes up it would allow for the image to be blown up larger, while keeping the child’s emotion still clear, (visible because of his eyes) through the apparent happy excited emotion visible. After seeing this flaw I realized some other issues with the image, a major flaw being that because all the items coming out of the child’s head are the same size, which makes it easy for viewers to glance over the image without necessarily focusing on any detail because the graphic has a lack of contrast within its self. For example, I believe that if some elements were larger, such as the ice cream, the clown, and the bumper car it would add more contrast there for be more visually intriguing. I feel that another improvement could come from adding an object such as a roller coaster, that would wrap around the other objects, forcing perspective, which, intern would add more interest and dimension to the graphic element as a whole. Overall, I believe the poster is an improvement from previous years and has some interesting elements, although it could become more effective and eye-catching if it implored elements that distinguished the main graphic
