What are your first impressions of the poster and DVD cover?  Please consider the following in your answer: Choice of image / choice of fonts / colour scheme used / page layout.

1. The bold image of people in the centre draws your attention straight away, i like the constant pink and theme with the subtle use of blue to make the car stand out.

2. The two people on the front cover get your attention straight away as they are bold and stand out. The poster consists of pink and blue this also relates as it is a common way to represent women and men

3. The darkness of the poster reaches your attention as it makes the white text stand out and your get a free for the film when you look at the cover this will make you pick up the film and look at the synopsis at the back to make you decide to buy it or not

1. I think the poster draws attention to the love element of the story but that more focus should have been put on the car/ racing.
