From a single glance, this is a very intriguing movie poster with many layers. This movie poster has a clear animated base, whether this is an animated movie or just a realistic movie with a cartoonist movie poster. This poster has the appearance of a horror film with the human protagonist running away from a ghoulish figure reaching out to grasp the man. The red balloon may be a metaphorical representation of innocence and the monster hungers to grab and eradicate that innocence. The horror genre of the film comes across easily from the image. The animated quality of the poster helps to let the monster express its horror aspect. The dark and light tones of purple and black work nicely to make a good atmosphere for the movie. The red balloon and the shadow figure make for a good contrast. The wave of darkness in the background gives a great ominous feel to the image. The shadow of the monster could be a little more defined. The light purple background could be a shade darker to mak

Overall, I believe the poster is very well done. There's definitely a sense of introspection being shown in the person's eyes. The man in the image gives the impression that he is deep in contemplation about his life. The subtext sentence located at the top of the poster only enhances this impression, saying "It's time to debug his life.", giving some context that the main character is in deep thought because he wants to make a big change in his life. I cannot tell if the rubber ducks are metaphorical or actually important to the plot of the movie.  The title and the font used for the wording in the poster matches well with the other colors in the image. The Colors overall are well done, they do not clash with each other and help to enhance the vibrancy of the image.  The gray and navy blue of the clothing, as well as the aquamarine blue of the ocean water and the yellow font with the red highlight show a good use of combining primary colors. The manipulation o

What I can take from Milton Glaser's TED Talk is that when you have an idea for a project, it's never bad to break it down and analyze the idea for all it's worth. When he was trying to make a poster based on the Alexander Pope poem he could not figure out what to make from the idea of the poem. He then broke down the words of the poem and examined all aspects for ideas. His result was a very different poster that somehow ended up working out; even though it strays away from the basic idea of a poster which is to let the image do all the explaining because his poster did some explaining and even gave another solution using the other design he created for the poster. The way he was able to build off of his other design in both that poster and the one he discusses later in the TED Talk in order to create a new perspective was so unique and peculiar. It gives me something to think about; whenever I have a project and I go through multiple ideas, when I pick one I want to go wi
