Finale design and eveluation-Publishing

My Design process was a tedious one as I tried many different mash ups from films before I found one I was happy with, my idea to begin with was a typical new york sky line image however with the twist that I would add Game of Thrones characters and dragons. Yet I found this extremely difficult to execute, many of the images i found were of a poor quality or wouldn't work with the selected New York back ground, this wasn't specific to just this back ground either as I had tried others and nothing would work. So I tried another Idea, keeping my New York back ground i attempted to add well known Disney and Pixar characters or 'badies' which would then look like they were creating trouble in the city together or the 'badies' ruining the city and the rest of the characters saving it. however a lot of the images were too small to be added onto the back drop without either looking washed out or insignificant so that idea that had to be dropped. My third and finale idea which I stuck with, was based on influence from my second idea. I made the choice to keep with the Pixar 'goodies' and add an Monsters Inc back ground, I choose to incorporate this as i liked the factory setting which would complement my other idea.

I wanted to create my own suicide squad of Batman's enemies, however adding older more classic enemies such as Harvey Dent and Penguin and adding the well known enemies such as the joker and Harley Quinn, I also made the choice to add more female enemies too as recently with the success of Suicide Squad the focus was on Harley Quinn as the only women, so I thought it would only be fair to add others. I thought it would work well as a poster as if the to be a real production it may drawn in a larger female audience. I made the choice to put the villains in contrast to the monsters inc back ground with the thought of it being slightly comical and eye catching on a poster.

As there isnt a 'known' font for the poster I created, i decided on a font that i thought best represented the theme of the poster I was going for. As my poster wasn't gothic I thought that a font that could have gothic undertones wouldn't be appropriate as for my poster to potentially be seen by a member of public I would want them to know subtitle themes of the films, such as the villains however the font is large and 'bouncy'.  I wanted my poster to be perceived as fun, as they're comic drawn villains dressed up, the joker joking like a clown at a children's party and Harley Quinn as his sidekick yet all characters have they're individual stance as power characters. I made the choice to keep the colour theme bright and vibrant to keep with the tone of fun yet the text is red to stand out like the name should on a poster as well as the fact I wanted the red to insinuate blood or evil.

At the beginning of this task I thought I wanted my title to be at the bottom of the poster as I wanted the focus to me on my image, that didn't change when my idea did. instead of putting my title at the bottom like originally planned I changed it not take focus away from the squad at the bottom of the page. Instead I decided to add it just above the image of the villains so that they eye would see the image and then see the title straight away. I also planned to add production information and a release date however because of my busy back ground I didn't want to distract from it, inflection I feel my poster could be improved by my poster by adding starring roles of voices or who was directing or producing. My peer assessment also felt this, stating that my biggest criticism is the lack of information on the page, which I can understand however with such a detailed poster with a lot going on such as the back ground and the drawn villains i felt it would be best left out. My peer assessor also suggesting some of the characters from the monsters inc film, which I think is a really good idea and if i was to do this poster again I really would incorporate them in.
 
This is my finished poster;
