The font is quite bold, and has an irregular ‘broken’ effect. It seems torn and shattered perhaps reflecting the characters in the film. This is also may be due to the fact that the area of Mumbai is not built up and maybe be a ruined due to terrible conditions.
The colour changes from a deep red with connotations of passion, romance or on a different note violence, to a light yellow with connotations of new life, freshness and new beginnings. This could we a reflection of the narrative of the film, the film starts of violent and passionate, but ends calmly, with new beginnings, perhaps a happy ending.
The majority of the cast are mainly unknown, Dev Patel and Freida Pinto are the main characters and both were new to film acting. However Danny Boyle the director is well known and therefore is recognizable to a modern audience.
The actors are not actually placed at all on the poster, only their faces are displayed, this could perhaps be because there so unknown that the designers thought it was necessary to include them. However, be the title graphics it reads “A Danny Boyle film” in a bright yellow, this time to make it stand out.
