My contribution to the Dead Silence movie poster contest. Tried my best to keep it as simple as possible, thus not sacrificing much, if any quality. Wanted the poster to be mostly black to work as dead space. I wanted it to look like the doll was in the middle of a dark area and he was all you could see.. which would hopefully make it a little creepy.

edit *** some revisions have been made. (March 12th)

I agree about your thoughts behind this poster, often simplicity is what draws the eye, rather than just clutter. I would have personally faded the edge of the image of the doll into the black space, as the faint red line can give the impression that you just cut and paste. Otherwise one of the best so far from what I can tell

thank you very much. thanks also for pointing out the blending. i ran upstairs and went on my sisters computer to see what you were talking about because i didn't really see it on my computer. sure enough i saw exactly what you were saying. its because my computer monitor is too dark and the fine color changes arn't visable. take a look at it now and tell me if it is any better. i really appreciate your help and thanks again. =D

I like it, but in my opinion, it should just be the doll head and hand, fading to black. On my monitor I can see a brown rectangle around the head and hand, and it sort of looks like a cut and paste job. Probably just my super cool new monitor though... :)

I know exactly how you feel. The ones at school are terrible! I'd make something, look at it at home, and it was hideous!
I bought a Samsung 226BW 22" Widescreen LCD over the weekend, and so far, it has been awesome! I would highly recommend it.

It was $450 at FutureShop. I think the sale ($50 off) ends Thursday.
