Print Text - WestWorld


Image result for westworld poster

This print text advertises a new series called "West-world" as shown in the image above. West world is a Sci-fi western thriller series, filled with twists, mysterious and excitement. 

Colour Scheme- This poster uses a mixture of silver/white with black as its colour scheme. The colours used in the background are quite dark, suggesting evil or mystery. Opposite to this, the main image is bright and shiny making it emphasised and stand out, the choice of bright colours could suggest purity and peace.      

Layout- Alongside the colour scheme, the choice of layout is used effectively. The main image is the series's logo, so making it the main image could be used so that viewers could remember the logo. The masthead is reasonably small, but its choice of colour stands out from the dark background. Likewise the slogan and date stands out, but not as much as the masthead. The background behind the logo is a image of a desert, this links to the "Wild-West" genre and the name of the series.

Genre- As referenced throughout the poster, the series's genre is "Wild-West" as suggested by the title and by the background. But this genre has a twist suggested from the use of the main image, a figure inside a circle making it look futuristic and overall it suggests a genre of "Sci-fi".

Themes- Suggested by the genre, the series could have themes of: action, violence, adventure or even romance. On top of this, A theme of mystery could also be suggested by the use of the figure in the middle of the poster.

Target audience- From the use of the themes and genres suggested, the target audience for this series could be 16+. The themes and genres used in this series would be very appealing to this age group. Likewise the poster design and layout will be intriguing from the use of a mysterious choice of images.
