Joker Poster

This is a teaser poster for the move The Dark Knight which came out last year. I really like the design for this poster. The colors and over all texture and feel of it give a great sense of what the tone of the movie is going to be like. If people don't know who the dark night is, most people know what the Bat symbol is and how it is related to Batman. It also hints at who the main villain is going to be. The use of the Bat symbol with the graffiti eyes and the light hitting the brick wall gives a striking resemblance to the joker.The red for the bat symbol instead of the standard black definitely throws you off. But works great at emphasising who the face on the wall is. I think this poser is an extremely clever way to say a lot about a movie with out really saying anything at all. You know it's going to be dark, you know who the main characters are going to be, and those two things are enough to excite you to go see the movie to find out more.
