My Final Poster Design


This is my final design of my newspaper. I think the picture that i have used for my newspaper is the best one i had as it is a very striking picture. This was done on purpose as i want people who pass by to stop and be interested in what they are seeing which will therefore then make them want go and get my newspaper. The part that i did want to change was the 'free' part as i think that it looks quite cheesy but on the other hand it still gets the message across that my newspaper is a free. The writing in the boxes i think having two different fonts doesn't work as it looks unprofessional which i do not want my paper to seem like, however the writing does clear show when the paper is coming out and what its main story is about.

my poster

My poster design is simple but i believe it to be effective as it clearly shows what the papers about and what the paper has it in. I started of this design with inspiration from my masthead, so i kept the masthead at the top of my poster so my target audience can identify the poster to my newspaper. I then used a picture from my own photography to put as the main picture. I have chosen this picture because i feel it is the best picture to draw the attention of my target audience and it shows a local school team which my audience will know. I then used photoshop to crop the picture to the exact style i wanted which means that i got rid of all the unnesccary parts. I then decided to go and use the masthead red as a boarder which reinforces the red colour scheme of the newspaper. I then add in 3 boxes of 2 different colours which where red and green. I made these transparent as i didn't want these boxes blocking out parts of the main picture. The text that i put in these 3 boxes was the release date and what the main story was about. This was done in only a few words which will make it easier for a passer by to remember it.
