Compositing Poster Assignment Questions

1.What makes our poster good?

Our poster clearly depicts the group of dancers performing for the multimedia fest, and it also relays accurate information about the event. The information on our poster is clearly visible, especially with the black and red fonts of the text, it really contrasts with the white background to make them "pop out". The crowd at the bottom of the poster enhances our group photo of dancers. The arms from  the crowds act like leading lines that are all pointing towards the title of the poster and our photo. The original photo from our first multimedia poster is at the heart of our poster, it has been enhanced and cropped better than it was done previously on our first poster project. The fonts we used for texts in our poster were based off of the fonts used in authentic Jabbawockeez logos/posters. Overall our poster attracts the human eye with color contrasts and the information is concise so that it does not bore the audience. Our poster is well edited and has a clean simple presentation that is pleasing to our senses.

2.What changes did we make to our original poster?

We re-cropped our original picture that was used during our first photo project to get rid off the rough edges and awkward areas of background that still remained the the cropped out portion of our photo. The masks were also re-positioned to fit our faces better. In total, all of the changes made to our original photograph made it cleanly trimmed and less awkward to look at. We brought back the excitement to our group of dancers by enhancing the group photograph which is the main attraction of our poster. The added crowd at the bottom of our poster was not present in our first project and this helps our poster with more added balance. The crowd evens out with the title, text, and group photo to make our entire poster seem to be at balance. The leading lines effect created by the extended arms of the crowd members directs our viewer's eyes to go from the crowd to the group photo. The fonts of our texts and titles were both improved and our main focus when choosing the font was to choose the proper format to attract our audience's attention the best. The vibrant red adds excitement to our poster and helps complement our dance crew. Finally, we revised the information to be more accurate and concise for the pleasure of those viewing our poster.

3.How did we make our poster?

First we had to crop out the entire background from our original group photo and then photo shop masks onto our faces to make us appear like the dance crew, the Jabbawockeez. We used the magic wand to crop the masks and pasted it into our group photo. We added a new clip art of a crowd to the bottom of our poster to improve the overall sense of balance in our poster. the information from our first project was both confusing and inaccurate, we revised our text to make the information easier to read and comprehend for our audiences. Our first poster received criticism for text inaccuracies and the difficulty to read the title and texts. We changed the fonts of the text/title to "pop out" from our photo. The white background we used for our poster adds simplicity to the over appearance of the poster.
