"Luke, I Am, Your Father"




Nerd or not everyone should have an idea who this guy is and what film series he’s known for. An unexpected surprise came after I took the photo. That bright ball of light that you see in the middle of the poster that makes it looks like Darth Vader is reaching for is completely unintentional, but does look cool. Back to why I choose this poster. I found the pose very interesting. Just by the way Vader is posed it creates a sense of interaction with the person viewing the poster. It looks as if Vader is going to reach right out of that poster and grab. This sense of interaction between the person viewing the poster and the poster itself is important if you want to create a buzz for the poster and the product that the poster is promoting.

Vader is also a very powerful and important figure in the Star Wars universe and the poster which is for Episode 3 is about his origins. It only makes sense to have Vader be the largest part of the poster completely dominating it and the text at the bottom is made secondary because of how small it is. Just by adjusting the scale of an object in a poster or other piece of advertisement can affect how important it is viewed. The poster is a very simple design with a subject and text explaining what the poster is promoting, but the layout and the pose of the subject makes this poster a very effective form of design
