What medium was the illustration created in?
This poster was created in Adobe Illustrator
Does the technique of the illustrator influence the message? If so, how? If not
justify your reasoning.
Whalen’s technique influences the message by
creating interest through a movie poster with a retro style. The hierarchical
scale of the poster provides a summary of information of the services provided
by Global Knowledge. The audience can easily move through the poster from left
to right /top to bottom. The actual retro style gives a new look to IT and
business skills training as oppose to a standard corporation poster which can
be sometimes boring and bland.
How does the style meet the sender’s needs? Audience needs? Illustrator needs?
The actual retro style of the poster gives a
new look to IT and business skills training as oppose to a standard corporation
poster which can be sometimes boring and bland. This poster is eye catching and
has appeal towards the audience in a way that is memorable.
