I found the week 7 sesson to be quite productive, it made me look at the posters as components, though, I can talk well on 1950 poster design, I decided to have a second look at some new posters I had found in my research and make a couple of quick sketches of the basic elements that make up the designs.





Movie Poster sketch, the border is a component, I've seen in many movie posters, it seperates the images from the test.
Though its almost as if they are trying to break the bounderies are previous design by using angled text and shapes. Definately a feature of 1950s design, you don't get that intodays design, well not the way they have done this.
Another feature was the big use of the actors names, whereas now they are not such a big thing, usually in tiny text at the bottom of posters, back in the 1950s they were sometimes even bigger than the movie title.







Another sketch showing this, the actors names almost compare in size to the title. They are always in bold text as well. Taglines are big in 1950s poster designs and usually a core compnent.



















This sketch of an airline poster, shows the typical style taken on for this form of advertisement. The style is simple, loads of space, a simple border. And a thing of the 1950s, graphics, graphical images of the locations, not accurate but tying to be 3d, use of perspectives to achieve this.
