After going to the VCT lesson for Posters with Monika i have become really interested with flirting around the question "Is the Poster dead?"
In promotion it is said that the conventional billboards are no longer effective, people are more skeptical about being sold something which is why we are seeing more and more unique and creative methods of promotion that we might difficult to class as a poster
Is the poster dead? Or is it simply evolving?
These are a few examples to illustrate what i mean..
Looking at your photos, I can't stop thinking that those objects still share what posters used to. They don't move in opposition to screen-based animation posters that do.
ReplyDeleteThe poster may not be dead, however its traditional form is on the way to decline. The change is only in its structure as the reader is still facing a situation that will trigger a thinking process, the message is transfered and it is up to him to make the meaning as he carries it along his way.
Screen-based animation posters have a tendency to make us passive, removing this very valuable reflection behind the message. I guess it is a bit like the books versus films kind of argument...
exactly stan! your definitely on my wavelength!
