X-Factor Poster Analysis

 

X-Factor:

The poster is intriguing because the main image is of the judges of the show on a billboard, which shows that the aim of the show is to make the contestants famous and find talent. There is a colour scheme of red, blue, gold and black angled in a specific way to show that there’s cameras reinforcing the idea of finding fame. These colours are often associated with luxury and glamourous living. The colour white has been used in a specific way that makes it look like there are cameras flashing towards the main image, the billboard. There are fans phones, pointing at the billboard, which also highlights the idea that the judges on the show are important people, most specifically Simon Cowell, who is in the middle of the image, bigger than the rest of the judges. The text that says ‘It’s time to face the music’ suggests that the show is a music competition.
