The Simpsons movie task

For this task I was asked to create a poster to advertise the Simpsons movie and I had to include the title , an image of Homer Simpson and the date it was released. I managed to include these typical conventions in my final product. This is an image of my poster that I created using photoshop to position the images and demonstrates how I create layers to make it look authentic:

                                  Before making the poster I decided to take a look at the trailer:

                           First draft                                                                      second draft

To improve this poster I was told that I could have made the main image bigger and fill in the dull blue space around the character as I it could be used in a amore inventive way. I was told that the date at the top was a positive aspect because the audience could quickly and easily find out when the film was released.I thought that it was flawed because there was too much dead space behind the main image , that could have been larger to reduce this.
