Transcendence

Transcendence movie poster

The past week I managed to catch the latest Johnny Depp movie Transcendence. It was generally a good movie and I enjoyed the storyline a lot however the movie was undoubtedly too draggy. The only reason why I was actually drawn towards this movie was because I had first seen the poster a few weeks earlier. And in my opinion, if you want to watch a movie solely because the poster captured your attention, then I think the designers deserve a round of applause because they have managed to do their job. 

The first thing that I like about this poster is the fact that the entire picture is basically just a photo of Johnny Depp. This was a good move on the designer's part as he is a well known actor and it was almost as if the designers were trying to advertise him more than they were trying to advertise the movie. By doing this, they have managed to capture the attention of Johnny Depp fans and this will cause them to want to watch the movie in order to support their favourite actor. Another thing that I really like about this poster is that it is very balanced. The designers even drew a line down the middle of the poster to show you just how balanced it is. It gives the poster a very nice and clean feel. The last thing that I like about the poster is that it uses a pattern on one side of it. The pixel pattern that is used on the left side of the poster makes it look more interesting and thus causing it to be more attention grabbing. However, since it is only on one side of the poster, it is subtle enough to grab the attention of the viewers ever so slightly to cause them to have to take a closer look before they are able understand what exactly is going on in the poster.
