Words and Posters

Poster from Forest Gump Movie.

Posters in the art present a formal way of using words and images. Most of the posters I have seeing on the streets or in stores have some time of writing on them. The words in the poster can project a connection to the image from the poster, or something opposite portrayed on the poster. Sometimes the words are use to create confusion for the customer to create a mysterious message on the image. Having words on the posters can also reflect the meaning or message that the artist that created the poster is trying to demonstrate on the poster. It doesn’t matter how many words there can be on the poster, sometimes the best posters are the ones that only have a word, but that word can have a deep meaning on the poster.  Also, words in posters can help people to be informed on something, for example movie posters. Movie posters not only have pictures or scenes from the most important part of the movie, however, it also has words that inform about what is the movie about and different details the public is interested in, like dates and movie characters.  So, at the end words and images can help create that interaction between images, words and public.
