Winnie the Pooh

This Winnie the Pooh poster is fantastic. It uses white space perfectly. It is primarily image and it works wonderfully. One of the reasons this is possible is because the characters are so iconic. Everyone recognizes the characters and so words are not necessary. By dividing the page into 1/3 white and 2/3rs white the rule of thirds is used and creates visual interest and by making the image of the characters small in comparison to the honey river it emphasize them and their journey. Their gaze looking up creates a line and makes them smaller. The way they are dressed and positioned lends itself to an adventure. . Pooh at the helm of the honey bucket references many explorers going off into the unknown. I have not seems the movie but it seems an adventure is evident.

The white space (space not dominated by image, so this includes the honey) it what creates most of the feel. It is slightly over whelming, but not necessarily in a negative way. It draws you in, but also makes you wonder what is contained outside the poster. The space creates so much intrigue and a definite feel and excited mood to the poster. 

Angles are important in this image, the tilt of the jar, the gaze of the characters. All the characters are looking and the angles are pointing up. It makes you wonder what they are looking at. They look so small but strong.  The poster makes you wonder what they are looking at the coloring give you a fun feel.

I had no intentions of seeing this movie, but the poster is so well done and so intriguing that now I think I will.
