[Film] Help me with a design choice...

[marlowe]

A for me. Has more of a "Missing Poster" look about it so immediately conveys the subject matter of the film.

B is too "busy" and confusing. The daisy bracelet gives it a flower power/hippy/ Woodtock vibe which immediately gave a different meaning to the title for me.

My thought process regarding B might have been partly influenced by the fact that Crosby, Stills and Nash sang a song called "Long Time Gone" over the opening scene of the Woodstock movie....

Got to be A

 

[Anger]

It’s A.

 

[Amexarmadillo]

A all the way

 

[Hugo Rune]

A. Simple and effective.

 

[clapham_gull]

Honest opinion.

B is appalling and looks like something knocked out on one of those "design a website" websites.

I'm in the middle of writing an Excel type course (using Netflix type programmes as the examples) and me and a mate knocked similar graphics around joke programmes such as "Gardening in the Danger Zone Season 3".

Unfortunately B looks very very similar.

A has promise, but just make it simple. No need to over design it.

Maybe MISSING in A

 

[Baldseagull]

A would pique my interest more, and suggests some mystery.
B suggests a separation more than a missing child.

 

[super-seagulls]

A is the way.
The crack in the background portrays the separation and feeling of loss and despair quite nicely.
I think B has confused messages and looks a little awkward.

A ..

Options A

 

[bluenitsuj]

A for me

 

[Bakero]

A, without a doubt.

 

[Fromthesouth]

Another one for A

 

[m@goo]

So my new movie project is called Six Years Gone and is about a missing child.

Which of these two (if in thumbnail on Netflix form) would be more likely to pique your interest. Two very different styles - one annoying decision!

Thanks NSC.

A. looks more documentary like, assuming that's what it is. B. looks more movie like if that makes sense.

 

[dazzer6666]

Definitely A, B looks like it’s advertising a love story, not a missing person.

 

[Gabbafella]

A says missing child, kidnap, murder etc, gritty, dark.
B says a rekindled romance starring Reese Witherspoon.

 

[zeemeeuw]

A would get me to watch the trailer.

B would get me to scroll right.

 

[dolphins]

A for me. Both are nicely designed, but based on what little I know of the movie (about a missing child) option A seems to better capture the essence - it’s a child’s face on two missing child posters. If there’s a meaning behind option B, I’m too thick to have spotted it.

This. A for me as well, all day long. That would definitely grab my interest, B I'd definitely scroll straight past.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Yep. A for me too.
