Example Channel 4 documentary posters

Both of these posters are Channel 4 Documentaries. These are only two out of the many Channel 4 Documentary posters which have very similar conventions. Most of which have the central Channel 4 logo on the right side of the poster, and white blocks with black print inside stating the title and brief information about the documentary. I think the way these posters are conducted is very interesting because the image is the most powerful. The layout overall is very simple looking, nicely spaced out with not much on their which further emphasizes the focus of the image. The images themself are directly related to the documentary, for example poster one has an image of a man photographing or videoing a storm, and the title of the documentary itself is 'A Very British Storm Junkie' these two elements combined automatically tell the audience what the documentary is about without having to look it up or read a description. Both posters also have very similar colours, using white text and a white 4 logo ontop of a dark image. This makes the text stand out and the contrasting colours in the dark images also catch the viewers eye much more effectively then similar colour image and text would, because it would all blend in and appear 'washed out'.
