Our documentary poster was heavily inspired by other Channel 4 documentary poster and remained true to the ethos of this particular channel's unique style of advertisement. Firstly, the title and short description of the documentary sits in the bottom left hand corner of the poster in a text box of a contrasting colour. The poster includes a single figure as the point of focus for the viewer's attention. In this case, Max, sitting atop the metal stage structures. The Channel 4 logo is on the centred on the far right of the poster and is not to big, however, fits nicely within the poster due to the transparent face. Plus, the bright and vibrant colour scheme, epitomised by Max's bright red tie, is suggestive of the documentary's fun, upbeat nature.
