Iron Man/Captain America



Although the Iron Man and Captain America have the same feel, which is good since they are an Avengers movie with both characters in it that looks amazing scheduled to release in 2012. Both posters have a feel of power and intense determination. The similarities come with the feel and emotions present in the posters and movies themselves.

The iron man poster is wonderful. It has a fabulous glow around the whole thing that mimics the glow from his chest and source of power. With the rest of him darks reds and grays and purples the yellow orange glow stands out perfectly. The glow is also mimicked in the Title as well making it noticeable too. Your eye is really drawn to his glowing eyes and glowing chest. Perfect since that is what them movie is about, the man behind the mask as well as the source of his power. There is also so much movement. His stance and with his knee brought up he looks like he is coming for you, or someone.

The same movement, strength, and glow is also depicted in the Captain America Poster. His strong stance and firm placement as well as the bits of things flowing in the background give the illusion he just slammed his shield into the ground. The silver glow present in this one is reflected in the words and shield. This poster is strong and intense. This stance show gives the feel of a great burden as well as an incredible will to succeed.

Another similarity between the two other than feel how each character breaks there frame.  A very good use of design is having characters break frame. It gives the characters presence in your world and vision. It makes it more relatable and striking for the viewer. By breaking the frame it makes them seem more lifelike and helps create more visual interest and lead your eye around the page. This is a trick commonly used by artists.
In addition to the impressive posters the movies are also stunning and exciting.

I loved both movies as much as if not more than the posters. Most characters are well developed, interesting, relatable, and entertaining. The storylines are stunning, intriguing, and emotional.

  1. I really thought the specks of dirt and debris in the air in the Captain America poster was more in the air due to like a battlefield explosion or something.

    Either way though I love that poster, to the point that I may try to get a framed copy one day.

    Keep Calm and Assemble
