This is a vintage
Disneyland ride poster, depicting the Matterhorn Bobsleds ride. This piece of graphic art is a great
example of the correct usage of the Syntactical Guidelines. First, the equilibrium of this poster
is perfect: everything is centered and balanced. The ride vehicles are centered on the page (they are the
main focus of the ride). Even
though the vehicles are tilted, the design of the poster as a whole is balanced. Second, this poster shows a lot of
stress incorporated in it. The
curves of the ride track and the ride vehicles themselves are perfectly even
(the vehicles are curved in a way that flows with the track). There are also many “triangles” on this
poster (in the lecture, there was
a lot of emphasis put on stress, triangles, and angles). Third, sharpening in this poster is
greatly defined. The ride vehicles
are in color, while the background and Matterhorn Mountain are in shades of
blues and grays. With the ride
vehicles in color, our eyes are focused on them rather than the background. Lastly, our eyes are attracted to the
vehicles, which is the main point of the ride.

This is a movie
poster for the Disney film, “John Carter.” I chose this poster as a failed attempt at including the
Syntactical Guidelines. As a
viewer, this poster does not impress me.
One guideline that this poster did not emphasis was sharpening. The font color does not allow the title
of the movie to shine. The title
blends into the background, making it hard to see the letters. One thing that this poster did well was
sharpening the main character of the movie, but the title should’ve been
sharpened more because that is what the audience will read. Another reason why I do not like this
poster is the outline or curved line of a planet or the sun (I am not sure what
it is supposed to be). This
line makes the poster look unbalanced.
I am not a fan of this poster.
