Research into Film Posters - D.O.A.

i like this poster because it actually tells you something about the story rather than just displaying the leading actors. It shows a man reporting his own murder to a policeman, now to your everyday person (bearing in mind its from the 50's) that will see this poster that is a confusing scenario and it makes people want to find out whats going on. It Makes them want more.

This poster uses bright colours to draw attention to its title and lead role. It also gives a brief insight to what the film is  going to entail, "A PICTURE AS EXCITINGLY DIFFERENT AS ITS TITLE!". The artist appeals to the audiences curiosity by making it strange and different.
