My poster and the advertisement for Piggy are quite similar in terms of layout, representation of characters and visual signifiers. Both characters are centred in the middle of the frame behind a plain background, an obvious difference would be that the foreground of my poster is cluttered with text and social media links, whereas the Piggy poster is very simple. Both characters are represented as being strange or slightly twisted, wearing the same sort of costume. The black, hooded jackets suggest a lack of or hidden identity and it is implied through use of body language or costume that both are possibly insane or unstable. In Piggy, this is because the character is wearing a pigs nose on his face and there seems to be extreme anger in his eyes. The character in my poster is holding his head in his hand, suggesting mental instability. 
The first poster was actually how I imagined one of my posters to be before I finished the first, which dramatically altered my ideas and cause my second poster to look as it does below, which I a very happy with. These posters are actually quite similar in a few ways. Both show the relationship between the killer and their victim, both killers are very dominant in the frame and seem to be tracking their prey, or following them around. Another reason these posters are similar is a through the use of costume, which is the black hood. This connotes anonymity and creates an enigma.
These posters are similar as they show both central characters and their affiliation. In the Welcome To The Punch poster the morally "good" character is coloured lightly with a colder blue whilst the morally "evil" character is coloured red, with what looks like fire near his shoulder. In my poster the protagonist is desaturated and has a very faint blue filter over his face and the antagonist has a red filter over him and his pupils have been completely saturated to make the a bright fiery red.
