Poster Research - Liam Augur

It was quite hard to find channel 4 tv documentary posters on the internet but i did find this bus shelter poster. Like most channel 4 adverts, they seem to all follow a similar theme, the channel 4 is almost always present and farely large in proportion to the graphology. There is usually a simple colour and font theme and the basic information about the programme, like shown at the bottom in this example.

I like the faded crackling effect on this poster, it looks as if the poster has aged and faded. i think a similar effect on our poster might look good for our genre.


I like the idea of this poster, the photo is made to look a grainy black and white still from an old film which has stuck.

I like how this this photo has been edited to look almost distant and dark. It is hard to explain in words but the photo feels as if someone is looking back into the past and remembering a shocking memorie when seemed to be good. This is exactly what the documentary is about and once you know that, you can see the kind of "shadowed memory" imagery they are trying to create.



This is the basic layout for all channel 4 poster, there is usually a big channel 4 logo somewhere on the poster too. This design is a simple but effective one, but i don't know how it will suit our genre of programme.
