Super 8 Poster
This is the Super 8 film poster. The colours used are significant in showing the dark side of the people of Earth. This is done by Earth being a silhouette against the stormy sky. The light in the sky signifies how not everything that is extraterrestrial is not evil or harmful. The dark patches in the sky show how we don't know everything about aliens/extraterrestrials. I think the designer of the poster intentionally rotated the landscape into a portrait as it looks like a picture of the Earth from space.
Super 8 Theatrical Release Poster
This is the Super 8 thearical release poster. Unlike the film poster, it doesn't give much information about the film away; just the outlines of the main characters. However with the lights you can tell that this is a sci-fi film. Under the title, it says ' IT ARRIVES'. We as the audience don't know what 'IT' is or where it's comming from.
Super 8 Billboard
Empire Magazine also done a review of the film. They gave Super 8, 4 out of 5 stars. To read the full review, click here. Here is a short extract of the review:
"...Not only has he persuaded Steven Spielberg to serve as producer on his latest film — encouragingly neither sequel, prequel, nor attempt to deodorise a stale franchise — but the very film the tenderfoot filmmaker has written and directed is a fan letter to the spirit of early Spielberg..."
Super 8 also has a spin off comic:

Super 8 Billboard
This is a Super 8 billboard. This the same as the film poster but the landscape has remained landscape. This billboard is probably on the side of the road so rotating the landscape would distract the driver but more importantly, you wouldn't miss the main details.
