There is a lots of different features to this graphics design. There is a bold title
and it stands out very well. There are a range of different colours that this

yellows. This graphic is the right size for a poster and the layout is a poster
style. Most of the poster styles contain the actors and actresses name on the
poster, you can tell this poster is a cinema poster because of how it is laid out.
There is also a date on the poster and that tells you when the film is out. On this
poster the colours are faded in and out. If you look carefully the colours are
faded in and out in the black and white background. The other colours are
oranges and yellows and this is representing a fire. There are no camera filters
on this graphics just lot of use of different colours. The composition of this
poster is the logo is in grey and whites. On this poster the logo is on the right
hand side and the characters who star in the film are on the left hand side. The
characters are all together with one of them running. This poster looks 3D in a
way because of how the Doctor is running out toward me. David and Matt are
located standing together on this poster.

The purpose of this graphics is about a film. The BBC are advertising this film
called The Day of the Doctor. The main purpose of this graphic is to advertise this
movie that was showed at the cinemas around the UK. This graphics is to

Who is the main target audience for the graphic?

The main target audience for this graphical design would be people who like
Doctor Who. The reason this is the target audience because they like Doctor
Who. Another target audience that this would appeal to are people who like Sci-Fi
films for example people who like Star Trek may like Doctor Who as well. The
overall main target audience are for this poster would be people who like the
BBC Sci-fi Series Doctor Who.

What sort of effect is it intended to have on the audience?

The effect that this would have to the audience would be that they may feel
excited because this is Doctor whos 50th Anniversary Special. I also think the
audience maybe on edge because they do not know what is going to happen in
this special episode. When I look at this image it makes me feel excited and
entertained because I am a Doctor Who fan. As the intended audience is people
who like Sci-Fi films they would feel excited because this type of film would
appeal to them. I also think the audience would feel scared because Doctor Who
can make you scared because of the monsters in this television program.
Is the graphic suitable for its intended purpose? How does it meet its
purpose? What makes it successful?
I think this graphic is suitable for the intended purpose because the poster looks
attractive and it advertises The Day of the Doctor as a really good film to go
and watch. The graphic is suitable for the intended purpose because the
graphical design of this poster stands out because of the colour scheme that has
been used. This poster uses a bold design and bold colours to make it stands out.
The title Doctor Who also makes it stand out because the title is white on a back
and grey background. I think overall that the poster meets the suitable purpose
because the colour schemes give a mysterious feeling to the audience. As I have
said the colour schemes are black and whites this gives it a misty feeling. This
poster meets the purpose because it stands out and looks really nice. The design
and the layout makes this a poster and this meets the purpose. The poster is
informing and it tells you who is starring in The Day of The Doctor. I think this
poster is successful because it is informing and the design makes it successful.
The colour scheme that they have used makes the poster successful. I like how
they have used the oranges and yellows it makes the poster looks actioned
packed. The overall success of this poster is the colours and the characters and
they stand back to back.
The strengths and weaknesses of the graphics products
The strengths of this graphical design are the colour scheme. I like how they
have used black and whites on the background this gives a mysterious feeling on
this poster. The black and whites are faded together on some parts of the poster
to make a grey feeling. They have also used oranges and yellows in the heart of
the poster to make it stand out and in this part it looks like a lot of action is
happening because there is fire coming out of this part. Another strength of this
poster is the layout I really like how when they have designed it they have laid it
out in a way that makes it a poster. I like how the title is on the right hand side
and the characters are on the left. When the two doctors are standing together
 Unit 6: Digital Graphics Assignment 1 Review of Graphics Product

they look united as a team. I also like how the date is at the bottom of the poster
so this can advise people on when the poster in out in the cinemas. I can tell this
is a poster because at the top it tells you who the actors and actresses are in this
film. In the background where the fire and action is happening this looks very
cool how they have designed the background where the doctor is running out of
the fire

The strengths and weaknesses of the graphics products

The weaknesses of the graphics are the lack of colours although the colours are
good, if they were to improve this poster perhaps they could have more colours
to this graphical design. If they added more colours to the poster this would
make it look nicer. The colour is the overall weakness because there are not
many colours included in this poster. The poster is just black and different shades
of whites there is also oranges and yellows in this poster which represents fire.
Another weakness on this poster is the text at the top of the poster. Where it
says who is starring in this film. I found the actors and actresses name hard to
read this a weakness because if someone had sight problems they might not be
able to see who is in the film. If they were to improve this poster I think they
could make the text a little bit bigger on the top of the poster.

Features of the Graphics
 Unit 6: Digital Graphics Assignment 1 Review of Graphics Product

This is a Doctor Who poster and there are many different graphics included in
this poster. The first graphics is the different variations of colour that have been
used on this poster. As you can see on this poster there are two doctors and they
are positioned in the middle of the page with a bright yellow line down the
middle of the poster. There is a blue box that is surrounded with a yellow colour
around the outside of the box. The background colour are different blues and
blacks that have been used. In the background you will notice that there are
stars that have been used to make the poster look cool. The size of this poster is
just right because you can tell it is a poster because there are no words on this
type of poster. The composition of this poster is really good because there are
different layers of art on this. The background layer is the starry background with
blue colours. The second layer is the two characters who are standing side by
side. The third layer is the bright yellow line coming down through the middle of
the page. In a way this is showing a 3D effect because of the use of different
layers. The bright yellow line is lighting up the faces of the characters. The
position of the artwork looks really good on how it has been laid out. The overall
layout of this design looks great because they have used layers and different
types of colours to make it look 3D.
Purpose of the graphics product
The purpose of this graphics is to advertise the TV show Doctor Who. I think this
graphical product does not need text on it as it is a poster. I think people will
know that it is Doctor Who. The overall purpose of this graphical product is to
promote Doctor Who.
Who is the main target audience for the graphic?
The main target audience for this graphics would be people who are interested in
Doctor Who and people who are interested in science fiction as well. This poster
would appeal to Doctor Who fans and people who like the BBC as well.
What sort of effect is it intended to have on the audience?
The effect that this poster would have on the audience who are looking at this
would be excitement. If you are a Doctor Who Fan, then this would excite you
because of how cool the graphical poster is. As this is for Doctor Who the
audience may feel on edge because they will not know what to expect in the
coming series of Doctor Who. This poster also gives an insight into the next
doctor and what he will be like on Doctor Who. This poster would also give off
emotion because it has got the image of the 10 th doctor and a lot of people liked
the 10th Doctor, they might feel sad and upset that he has gone. This graphics
also is to inform people about Doctor Who.

Is the graphic suitable for its intended purpose? How does it meet its
purpose? What makes it successful?
This graphic is intended for purpose because it matches the purpose of Doctor
Who. This poster advertises the TV Show Doctor Who. I think this meets the
purpose because there are different colours involved with this graphic. The
design and layout of this graphics meets the purpose because it is set out in a
poster style. The background on this graphics is bold and it stands out. The
 Unit 6: Digital Graphics Assignment 1 Review of Graphics Product

colours that this poster includes are golds, yellows, blues and blacks. There are
also two characters of Doctor Who that are included in this poster. The colour
scheme makes it feel refreshed because the poster is showing that the Doctor
has regenerated so this makes the graphics feel refreshed. The poster is
informing you about Doctor Who. The background meets the purpose because it
is bold and it stands out. The yellow and white line going down the centre makes
it feel special and it is attractive to look at. This poster is made successful by
how they have made it and how they have put two faces together, this replicates
the doctors regeneration. The bright yellow line going down the middle of the
page makes this successful. I also think that this poster looks powerful because
of how it has been made. The background and the layers that have been used
on this poster makes it look successful.
The strengths and weaknesses of the graphics products
The strengths of this graphical product are the colour scheme that has been
used. I like how the designer has used the Tardis with the regeneration power
going into it and this is showing a change in the Doctors. The yellow light looks a
bit like power and a laser shooting down to separate the faces of the Doctor.
Another strength of this graphical product is how they have used the layers to
make it look 3D they have the background on layer 3, the faces on layers 2 and
the laser light and the Tardis on layer 1. I think that this is very clever how they
have designed the yellow laser. I also admire the background as it gives it a
sense of space and time because they have included stars and this is how you
know it is Doctor Who. If you look carefully you can see that the faces are lit up
by the yellow light and this makes it look magical because of how the effect is
done.
The strengths and weaknesses of the graphics products
I think the only main weakness about this graphical product is that it looks
squashed together all in one and that makes it look untidy. If you look carefully
they have not made the best space of all of the poster. They have put all of it in
the middle and it looks like it has just been thrown on to the poster. I also think
that there should have been a background title saying Doctor Who because
people may not know what this poster is. For example, if I was not a Doctor Who
Fan I may not have a clue what this poster is of. If they did decide to improve
this, they could add a background title that would make it look really cool.
Overall both graphical products have fantastic graphic designs on.
