This task was about deconstructing and analyzing a tour poster. I chose this one as the colour theme, body language, fonts etc all helped to connote the message behind the image. I have learned how much the production of an image can affect the way it is viewed and why it is important to know what parts will affect the mood of displayed. It has helped me to develop my knowledge regarding how the way a poster is designed can alter how a person views it/how popular it will be. I can see that this poster is well-produced and made to a high standard from the colours/pathetic fallacy used to reflect her mood, clear imagery etc. It has been well thought out and planned in advance.
Now that I know the effect of these aspects in a poster, I can use this knowledge when producing my magazine. Depending on the mood I want to portray, I can use these elements to present the correct tone. For example, if my magazine is going to be uplifting and joyful, I would use bright colours, open body language, and positive captions on my front page so that the reader has an insight of what it is about.
