Denabi State Park, Alaska

The mountains and lake on this poster are well balanced and the lighting is beautiful. Although this is done in landscape view I can easily imagine it cropped to fit the requirements of our project. The colors shown here are not flat colors but would be easy to convert. The tonal values of this poster could be changed to spots of purples and pinks. Altogether this poster is very pleasing to the eye and gives a little warmer feeling than many Alaskan photos do. It is an wonderful view to invite travel in America.

National Parks Travel Poster

I chose a poster of Shenandoah Nation Park, I am drawn to this poster most because the sense of movement it gives off. The stream is centered in the composition yet it doesn't lose interest because of the foreshortening of the water down the landscape. The foreshortening makes the viewers eye move up and down which helps the artist control where they want the information to be read. The color of the rock and greenery gives a strong sense of where the light is coming from. Also, I think the best part of this poster is that it isn't something extravagant, you really feel like you could be that close.

i like the way they use the colors to indicate depth and the fact that the im looks 3-D but its all flat colors. it also look like texture that you could feel even if it just a picture

See America

Nice, detailed WPA poster with fairly normal colors. What I like the most is how the different size of trees throughout the composition really help depict scale.

National Parks Travel Posters

I like how the colors are used in all four pictures none of them are too much they just kinda flow together.

I've never been to any of these place but just by looking at the poster it makes me want to go and actually look at the images that are on the poster.

Montana

.

Created by Richard Halls in the 1930s for the WPA. This piece uses an almost color blocking approach to simplify the beautifully complex scenery to invite in an audience looking for simple relaxation.

Yellowstone

I like the composition in this poster. I like how Old Faithful is put off to the left side and not right in the middle. The poster does a good job at capturing the movement in Old Faithful and the sky. I like the colors used in this poster they are very dramatic and lively, they have a nice contrast to them.

See America. Welcome to Montana

I thought that this poster was really beautiful. I love mountains and the thought of the clean mountain air that is complimented by the beauty of the scenery, so this image really hit home for me. America has so many beautiful mountain ranges that I found this to be a really great representation of the natural scenery in our country.

Hawaii The Island of Volcanoes

I chosen Hawaii because I think it has a unique view of volcanoes, the surrounding body of oceans, and just plain nature. I wouldn't mind visiting this place once more. My opinion of this place cool place to be at.
