Which of the following is an example of an analytical comment?
The poster contains an image of a man and a woman inside a spiral. The colours used are only black, white and orange.
The poster has good visual impact because of the designer’s choice of restricted colour palette. The orange, black and white colour scheme creates a striking effect.
The poster is mainly orange and black. I think this is a good effect. There is a man and a woman in the poster. The man could be chasing the woman. When I look at this poster, it gives me a feeling of danger.
