The first image I chose is one of the best-selling novel in India called- The three mistakes of my life, the story revolves around three friends whose characters are young, ambitious and passionate and have the same moral, social and religious dilemmas as many of the young Indians today. The poster of this novel totally resembles the plot of the novel as it’s cover shows the silhouette image of the three main characters in the novel. In this poster, I like how snippets of the text from the story has been used in a poster, which is giving the poster a very refined look. The placement of text in the bottom is also very balanced with the entire poster. The incorporation of the ball in the poster however seems to be unnecessary. The background is very bright and soothing. Due to the balanced combination of typography in the background, colour selection and character placement the poster of this novel looks very balanced and appealing.
The second poster I chose is a billboard advertisement of Tim Horton’s, which is the most famous coffee brand in Canada, and after brands like Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, YouTube, Visa and Walmart, Tim Horton’s is the eighth most influential brand in Canada. This advertisement clearly shows the reasons why it is the one of the most loved brands in Canada. This poster is a good example of promoting the brand over the audience, as it shows the actual reasons along with a percentage, which proves how influential this brand is. I love the colours used in this advertisement, these are similar to the coffee cup, bags and even the stores of Tim Hortons which use “red” as their main theme colour.
The third image is a minimalist poster of the main character of The Simpsons show- Homer Simpson, this poster uses typography to display the phrases that Homer Simpsons uses the most. I like how the creator was able to use all the famous phrases of Homer and combined them inside the minimalistic portrait of him. The poster has a very appealing look.
