Poster Production

When coming up with our poster we decided to go with an similar style to one of the poster we had research. The one we linked was the paper aeroplane, which give use the idea of changing our newspaper into an paper boat, as with us basing our newspaper on the coast the paper boat fitted in well. We also included an background picture of the Whitley Bay lighthouse we set the full effect of the coast, which will give the readers an understand of where the newspaper is going to be set at. It took an while to come up with an slogan we were happy with, but the one we come up with fitted the poster well and got over point across in an few words. Also we included an sell line, which included all the information the readers need to no about the new local newspaper coming to their area. In the sell line we included the title of the newspaper and we kept the title the same style and colour as we had used on the website and the newspaper itself, well doing it help to show the similar characteristic as original newspaper companies.

Draft:

When it come to creating the poster, my partner made the paper boot, while i got an start on the editing the background image. When making the paper boat, she had to 'youtubed' a video clip, on how to fold the paper into the boat. After we had create the boat and had the background image edited, we just overlapped the two images placing the boat on top, to give the effect as a paper boat sailing the coast. With the slogan we tried to capture an message that can mean an range of different things but always links back to the news or day to day life issues. 'Lifes not always as peaceful as the beach' we went with this one as the images set the area it is localed in and then this powerful message captures arrange of different audiences depends on what the message means to them. The poster advert two key points about the task, as it included our newspaper and captures the area it is placed in.
