2.  The subject of this poster is the major motion picture “The Dark Knight.” The marketing strategies used in this picture were making the Joker look really cool, and making the viewer wonder what’s going on in the picture behind the Joker. I believe the artist took a picture of Heath Ledger in front of a green screen with the camera slightly tilted to the left and added everything else digitally later.

3.  The subject of the poster is a major label music group called “Blink 182.” The purpose of this poster is to advertise the band and everything they have to offer. The marketing strategies used in this poster are having the “Blink 182” logo stand out from everything else in the picture.  I believe the artist took a picture of the band, contrasted the colors digitally, and added everything in color to the picture.

4.  The subject of this poster is Travis Pastrana, a world champion dirt bike and rally car driver. The purpose of this poster is to sell merchandise at “No Fear.”  The Marketing strategies using bright colors, a super famous dirt bike rider, and well placed logos.  I believe the process used was adding a bunch of digital effects to a regular photo of him, and adding the “No Fear” logo at the bottom.

5.  The subject of this poster is “Mumford & Sons.” The Purpose of the poster is to get people to listen to them.  The marketing strategies used in this picture are showing the viewers all the vintage instruments they use, and taking a “Classic” looking picture, to fits the bands style.  I really don’t think they had to do much other then add a black border and the bands name at the top, they may have sharpened the picture and made it a little darker but there isn’t a whole lot of editing in this picture.

6.  The subject of this poster is the band “Linkin Park.” The purpose of this poster is to sell merchandise.  The marketing strategies used in this picture are taking the picture in a very unique area with a good angle on it, and having the whole band together with their logo on top.  I actually don’t think they had to do much more then touching up a few things and adding some shadow effects around the edges.
