1. This banner-styled poster intended for display in underground stations and ClearChannel billboards can be identified because of its typical conventions including a central image and multiple review quotes with star-ratings. Most prominently, the information of release date and availability fulfils its primary intention of promotion. 

2. The ill Manors brand is identified with the dark colour scheme supporting the urban theme as well as the trademark logo. 

3. The symbol of the pistol highlights utmost relevance to the film's context. As noted in the design features question, the consistency of featuring the ill Manors trademark logo as well as the type-face and colour scheme maintains synergy alongside the other platform material such as the film itself as well as the music video.

1. This is one of the less publicised film posters and can be identified with the bold display of the release date as well as the occupation of the logo taking a significant amount of spatial coverage on the poster's frame. The central image displaying the protagonist of the film also validate it for its promotional function.

2. This poster exhibits the consistent inclusion of imagery suggesting urbanism with the monochrome layer of a typical London estate block. However, the most profound feature is indubitably the use of the ill Manors logo. 

3. An exclusive aspect of this poster which has synergy with the entire promotional campaign of ill Manors is the slogan 'We are all products of our environment... some environments are just harder to survive in'. Other aspects include the ill Manors logo as well as exhibiting the protagonist of the film.
