This is the first poster that immediately drew my attention when I walked into the gallery. Regardless of the actually drawing I think it is a very powerful color combination. The blue in the background is powerful but not so powerful that it draws attention away from the rest of the drawing which is what's important. I was first mainly drawn to the face and I think it is because it is the clearest part. It took me a whole to notice that the rest of the image was made up from words, but it is something I really liked. I liked how the main focus was on grabbing the audience's attention and afterward you could see the writing. This just kept my eyes busy. I personally really really like when text is incorporated like this.
This poster is another one that I really liked. The main image is clear, it looks like an old fashioned ballroom. What I really enjoyed about this poster was that there was so much going on. From the train all the way at the top, to the clock in the middle, to the girls in the cups. There was so much detail put into this poster that it keeps your eyes busy as a viewer. I also liked how he main the more important things stand out. He put the name of the artist all the way at the top, and then he put where the artist would be in bigger more bold letters. Finally in a smaller font he put the rest of the details. The most important things in a music poster is who and where and he did a good job of showing it. Ultimately the color plays a very important role. The color scheme really goes well together, and it also helps maintain the old fashioned look.
When I first came across this poster it was just so intriguing. What drew my eyes first was the bright yellow dog, and then the bright red motorcycle. This really had me intrigued because there's a dog on a motorcycle. As you look around you can then see the name of the artist. The black really helps the letters stand out. I personally am a big fan of using black around the border. The background color really goes well with the main image. I just like this poster because even if it has a lot of detail, it is still kept pretty simple and does a good job of catching my attention a simple use of bright colors.
This is one poster that I did not really like. When I first saw it, my attention was not drawn to anything important. There is so much detail yet nothing seemed really important to me. I guess it did keep my eyes busy. I see the bike, the saw, the train, the animal, but I just don't see how they go together. Also the name of the artist is shown too plain and simple which didn't really grab my attention. I guess "Wild Sound" had something to do with the wild poster but I just didn't like it. As far as the colors, the make the poster look at bit boring. It is a good color combination but they just didn't go with the poster.
