Postcard research

Here are some examples of the print component of our project. I was able to receive some inspiration from these and what I plan to incorporate into ours.

 

This postcard is for the film Holy Motors that includes the name of the film and additional information regarding it. In this postcard, the first thing I noticed was the limo and the bolded title. Not only is the title of the film big and bolded, but also in a bright color across the entirety of the postcard. This postcard includes actor names, production credits, the director/producers' names, the film festival it will be shown at, a website name, social media, its ratings, feedback, and age recommendations. Despite having a lot of information, the print is still simple and easy to access. I found this piece to be very cool and intriguing, as it shows many different aspects of the film, like the characters and locations, as well as a color scheme that I assume would be continuous throughout the film. Some inspiration I want to take from this postcard is how it was instantly eye catching and has elements that really pop out to the audience.

 

This postcard is for a film called Sausage which includes the film name and other informational text. This print does not have as bolded or eye catching of an image compared to the other example, however, it uses bright and engaging colors. From this postcard, it can be assumed that this is probably a lighter film and probably for comedic purposes because of the playful colors and font. The animated characters on the postcard are most likely the main characters in the film and play a big role, considering that they are being featured. The director's name is included on this piece, which most likely means that whoever it is, is recognizable. There are a multitude of film festivals shown at the bottom, as well as awards that the film has won. I think that more information could be included, like who plays the voices of the characters and if there is any, the social media usernames. I like the simplicity of this postcard while still being visually engaging and informative.
