Ghosts of Christmas Past

  

Reference

I'm going to start off by saying there really isn't anything /wrong/ with this to me. The colors are fine, the graphics fine, everything legible, hierarchy really isn't bad; that doesn't mean I like it though. I honestly don't like any of it, it doesn't really match the story to me, when a story like A Christmas Carol is such a classic a contemporary feeling poster like these almost feels like a crime to me. I could probably get over the orniments; they aren't the best thing I've ever seen but neither are they the worst, but I just can't accept that san-serif harsh font. It makes it look more like a scy-fy mystery deal to me. Ya, they're neat and I can't say I found too terribly much about them to know for sure how close to the original story they were, but it just doesn't read to me at all what the story is. Another thing that bugs me is the way in A Christmas Carol the world 'Carol' is a lighter green and doesn't hold my attention the way the first two words are. Again, overall I can appreciate these posters; just not for their subject.
