GOOD design (wk 6)

This a very well balanced poster, it uses the whole poster in a well structured manner. The is a lot of negative space but the figure still seems to take up most of the page. The dark edges also keep the figure in place. The direction of the horns make your eyes follow the whole poster up to the top instead of getting stuck in the middle with the main figure. The detail of the horns of branches fits well with the strict outline of the animal. I love the combination of texts and organic forms. The slanted texts gives the animal a balanced ground to stand on. There texts goes off the page towards the right while the horns direct you in toward the top left. This makes the axis of the poster slightly slanted but does not affect how the viewer looks at the poster. There is no need to tilt your head because the main figure is standing solid in the middle. The subtle white text takes away from all the stress of additional textual elements and the contrasting black bold text below. Overall I thinks this design works really well. One powerful image in the center with small details to keep the view interested with a limited amount of texts on a non traditional axis.
