Ali Baba, Part 2

The interesting thing about cat posters is that they almost always leave the viewer hanging, with no hope of a sequel. So, it is very rare to find a sequel to an already posted missing cat notice. Most owners opt to re-release the original poster.

Ali Baba, Part 2 adds an additional photo, as well as an extended narration, underscored with hints of desperation. The first line almost suggests a happy ending to Part 1, before reworking its way through the story and development of Ali Baba, to end on a sad note, revealing the continuation of the ongoing search viewers were introduced to in Part 1.

Part 2, though without color this time, ends on a lighter note, after the credits, as the hope and energy of the narrator shines through, leaving the viewer with a hopeful, though unfinished ending.

Ali Baba, Part 1

Ali Baba, Part 1 has a very dramatic nature to it.

The all capitalized letter "MISSING CAT" title at the top of the poster draws the reader's attention like a paperboy waving the new edition of the newspaper in the air, shouting "Extra! Extra! Read all about it!"

Immediately following the title is a police profile style picture of the missing cat, followed by an all information text section, with little-to-no narration, and few descriptive embellishments.

The hints of color to highlight the eyes and collar of the feline, and additionally around the title and name are an unexpected addition, similar to the little touches of color in the bleak color-pallet of Schindler's List.

Marcos

This Marcos poster would be the cat poster equivalent of an animated children's film. It has a playful look to it with the hand-drawn picture, the coloring, and inconsistency in the font -- shifting from lower to upper case in a moment's notice and weaving between bubbly and stern letters.

The intensity of the poster also shifts from the beginning to the end, starting out very soft, friendly, and filled with descriptive narration, and ending in all capital, bold letters, choosing to shorten the word "please" to a much less personable "PLS".
