Posters oh my!

[Loki]

with.. or without credits.. I can't decide..

I figure I needed a new poster for my second assault on film festivals this year...

Edit: Another variation.

Beautiful. :thumbsup:

I like the simplicity of the first one but a poster without credits is like a commercial that doesn't sell anything.

Unfortunately the credits distract from the subjects in the second one. Could you maybe fade the credits back a little (lower the opacity by 50%)? Or reduce the amount of credits so that it doesn't take up so much space. What about just having "A Dreamsoft Productions Film" at the bottom. Or a website address so people could find the credits online.

Good luck!

Yeah, I think you need the credits in there, but I would change the color of the text to a light olive color or something just so that they don't pop out so much.

Nice poster!

Loki,

I agree with the other posters here on lowering the opacity of the credits text.

But this is a great poster, simple and highly effective. Grabs my attention right off without drawing too much attention to itself. A great job!

I just had to say, I love that poster image as well. Beautiful.

Thanks for the feedback.

I shall try some of the suggestions and see how they work. usually I cannot do anything good in photoshop.. but I guess lightning sometimes strikes..

image is awesome...

I would perhaps change the font... take the opacity down a bit... make it seem more organic with the powerful image

avoid drop shadows (as a general rule.... sometimes you can break that rule tho)

definitely a good starting point i'd say.

I agree with the dude or dudet what suggested just having Dreamsoft Productions at the bottom. The absolute simplicity and loneliness of the title (especially in lower case, nice touch) words perfectly with the choice of photo, and the text detracts from that.

 

[Jim Brennan]

Yeah, I'm with PK and Matt. Just the name of the company or a website. You can use the other poster with the credits at the screenings or whatever. But to suck 'em in, say only what you have to.

new variation.
