Horrible Bosses Poster Analysis

We intend to produce a film poster for our film project. Before I set about planning a poster, I chose to analyse a poster. I chose to look at the poster for the 2011 film 'Horrible Bosses'. I chose this film because I feel that it is very much like our own project.

The film poster employs eye catching colours. One key thing to note is that only few colours a chosen, which simplifies the design. A simplified design has connotations of business, which is the main setting for 'Horrible Bosses'.

The font used to name the staff such as the directors is a derivative of the commonly used font 'Steel Tongs'. The font used for the title and other pieces of text are simple in design, thus making it easy to read.

This poster will serve as inspiration for the poster that I will design.

Another thing to note, we have decided to independently design a poster of our own and then we will consult eachother and discuss the ups and downs of each poster. From then on we will work together to design a more suitable poster for our film.
