unit2-mandy poster annalysis

i analyzed a flyer for a party venue for teenagers and other people who enjoy rock and metal bands.
the poster had to bee analyzed by color, text, size, layout,and design.
the poster i analyzed i think rely suits me as it is targeting people like me this makes the analysis easier because i know what to look for and can say what is apealing about it or not.
i liked the layout and how the different genre of songs being played was in the background,
the image on the back was interesting and at the same time very disturbing as it was a little cartoon girl with a severed cats head and a knife.
