Anil Saxena



One of my favorite artist in photography would have to be Anil Saxena. I actually didn't know this artist but one day when scrolling through tumblr I was able to look at her art work and I was very fascinated by it. I love how she takes different elements and combines them and gives the final image a whole different meaning. Like for one of the pictures above she took a picture of a grass field but on another she took a picture of herself knitting. But when she combined them she made it seem as if she was actually knitting the field. Another one of my favorites is one where she got a picture of a giraffe and then she also a picture of a man painting but when she combined the images it seemed like the man is painting the actual giraffe not only because of his position but also because half of the giraffe is brown and the other half has the spots. Going through Anil Saxena's picture showed me even more that theres so much beautiful things one can do in photography and in Photoshop. 

Blended Movie Poster


Another movie poster that has caught my attention is the romantic comedic adventure film Blended because even thought its simple it says a lot of the film. The films typography for the movie title "Blended" actually blends with the background of the poster and i think thats pretty cool just because of the title. Behind the two characters of the film a tree and giraffes are seen so the viewer can assume the film takes place in a safari kind of place (Africa). Another thing that says the type of movie the viewer will see its that the two characters are facing each other and Barrymore's character is pointing her finger at Sandler's character who is smirking so the viewer can assume that those two characters don't really get along. 

Back To The Future Movie Poster


The Back to the Future movie poster is one of the most iconic posters in film history. Just by looking at it for a few minutes one can tell the movie will will be about some type of time travel just by the movie title. Another part that says a lot is that the font is some type of futuristic, the font is moving to the right as if it was some type of wind or something that passed by really fast since it is moving to the right. The title design also has an arrow as if it was pushing the title BACK to the left. With the way the Michael J. Fox's character is shown right next to the car it shows that he is in a rush. Also the way the car door is opened and the actual car itself has lower opacity makes Michael stand out. I think that the fire underneath the car might also predict that the car might have to go at a certain speed in order for it to work. Just the movie poster in general says a lot about the movie.

The Avengers Movie Poster


                                                   



For my third film poster I decided to choose superhero action film which is the Avengers. This films movie poster says so much because theres so much going on. Just by looking at it the viewer will be able to tell that its about superheros coming together to save the world. The poster also tells that the viewer that the movie will have destruction and that it will take place in New York City because the Empire State Building is seen in the background right next to Tony Stark's building which is falling apart. The poster also tells the viewer that the villans are coming from every direction because the heros are looking in various directions. For the typography it means strength because the letters are capital and bold, the typography also has an arrow that is going one direction which can mean that that's where the heroes are headed.
