Journal Entry 6: Flyers


This poster definitely caught my eye because of the bright colors and interesting font. Although I don't love the font, I think it definitely made me notice and look at it because of how different it was. I like that the type looked almost self-created and is bold and gives off a positive energy for the event it is promoting.

My initial thought was that this flyer was too simple. All of the font is the same. I think the importation paragraphs on the corners could have been done in different styles to draw the viewer in to actually want to read about it. There needs to be more hierarchy in important parts of this flyer. Overall The center image and text is the strongest but there is too much information in a not legible enough font.

Here is an overall image of all the flyers that were posted in one area. It made me realize that passerby's may only stand and view for a few seconds and that it is important for your flyer to really stand out from the rest and be the one that catches peoples eye.

The typography in this flyer is really strong and represents a fun, cool, and western style. I like the way the font has a white glow to go with the skull and is destroyed and messy in areas to give more of an appeal to young adults.

I took these pictures downtown. I found flyers posted on various poles or in a small wall area.
