After adding more to the corners of the design I printed it out on A3 to look at it on paper not on a screen. Although the overall design is strong, the centre of the design shows a modern take on Futurism using negative space and structure, and the surrounding areas give a good essence of Futurism, I don’t think the design works well as a poster. It looks too much like a spread in a book or a magazine as nothing instantly pops off the page when you look at it. There is no bold shapes within it which draw the eye and it doesn’t show enough movement or speed which is what Futurism is all about. It also doesn’t show a lot of movement or speed which are two of the main features of Futurism design. It doesn’t contain any twirls or coils which have connotations with movement, it also shows not difference in scale which shows movement as well as objects expanding.
Overall I don’t think the design is effective enough and i think something which more bold shapes and more aspects of Futurism is needed.
