Revised Track Poster

Craft-
A dark blue background was added to the image with the bucket tool. Overlapping the background was 3 boxes that were filled with a teal color. A square mesh eraser tool was used to soften the edges of each box. A picture from a woman's track meet was taken with my camera. The image was softened with the same mesh eraser tool. Underneath the image and boxes, a piece of a movie poster was used in the background and softened with an eraser tool. On the top left box, I used a clearly printed font with the words typed large. At the bottom, additional information was added in relation to the track meet with a sketchy font. A yellow shade was used to emphasize certain parts of the text on the poster.

Composition-
The title was placed at the top of the poster and made large to draw the viewer's attention to it. The picture was placed in the center which is the greatest attention getter. The information at the bottom of the poster should be read last since the text is not as legible as the title. There is a triangle dynamic in which the title is the peak of the triangle and it spreads to the bottom of the poster.

Concept-
The poster is advertising a 2011 track meet that occurred on April 9th at the University of Chicago. The image is dynamic which works well with the horizontal speed lines on the top right corner. With the picture on the poster, it appears that the people running in the image are ready to run out of the photo. The font used in the title was important to establishing the mood of the poster because the font is a wide-set, easy-to-read font. The title font is round in which it can be comparable to the track the girls are running on. The second font used at the bottom of the poster was useful because the font's slant and hard-to-read font could be compared to someone one who is running a race.
