.:Evaluation:.

I believe i did a great job with both the poster and the website. My website looks old fashioned which ties in very well with certain themes in the movie. I have put quotes from various characters on the site, this creates the feeling that the characters aren't just talked about, they are incorporated throughout the site. My website has the official trailer from UP on it, a synopsis, characters, the poster i created, a welcome page and a gallery with 15 plus photos with various captions. There is a pair of binoculars, a suit-case and a quill in an ink pot all modified in photoshop before adding them to my site to enhance the mood of Carl's (the main character) childhood. Throughout the movie he has a tattered map from his childhood that he keeps on his person, I thought it would be most effective if i based my site around this. I tried incredibly hard to find Carl's map as it was used in the movie but i failed. I made my site simple to navigate as UP's target audience ranges from young children to adults. Although my poster uses some of same elements that the official poster uses i feel that i create a slightly different mood with mine. In my poster Carl is smiling which gives the character a more positive first impression. Where as the official poster (i researched it) has him looking grumpy. I acknowledge that UP has clouds on the Disney site and the poster however before researching them i wanted clouds on my poster, to show that they are in the sky. If i were to start over i don't think i would do much differently, as i love my final products. Both my site and poster in my opinion, are effective in appealing to the intended target audience.
