development of posters

This was the initial idea we had for our poster where we we placed the title/masthead of our newspaper in the left hand corner with our slogan in pink. We thought it would be a good idea to list what our newspaper is going to offer in pink down the left hand side as a way of showing our audience that our newspaper offers a range of topics for everyone. However we later realised after adding in our picture there was not put difference as it was still very pain lacking in excitement.

Due to this problem we looked back on the previous research we had already carried out and decided to get the best out of our poster we should change the whole concept of our poster.

Plan:

• To find an attract all round background that would not only suit the theme of our newspaper but also relate to teenagers/ youths and maybe associate our background around where they hang out and socialise E.g Park, Street corners, bench's, clubs and so on.
• Make the name of our newspaper much bigger and brighter so it immediately stands out to young people walking by
• Emphasising that the paper is free in our newspaper through bright colours and shades
• Include the technological part of our Newspaper the Internet on the poster
• Add a picture/s of young people having fun
• Small section on what our newspaper is about our view

After completing our plan we were sure on what exactly we were going to do and will show this below.

This is our first draft of our poster, we have made a number of changes which include lengthening the size of our masthead so it covered the full length of the poster at the top. Making our masthead larger will make it stand out to our target audience, while doing this we decided to use the colour Blue as we are now only required to make one poster between us, and thought blue Stood out as being a more dominant colour. We also made the lenght of our slogan longer because we want it again to stand out and wanted teenagers to identify that there is a local youth newspaper out on the market for them to go and purchase. As our newspaper is going to be free we believed it would be best to clearly state this so we went for a brighter and different colour which we have not yet used. We therefore changed the font and style to blocked writing to place emphasis and made the outline bold red with the inside white . It is essential to make this information big and change the design to make the poster attractive and also to inform teenager that our newspaper is free so they will be more willing to get one if they know they don't have to pay for it. We placed 'www.flava.com' at the bottom right hand corner so that if they wanted to find out more it would be an extra source of information for them and also inform Teenagers that we have expanded our resources to the net.

On our second draft the only change we have made is adding a background, we went for a brick wall as we believed it emphasised an informal and youthly feel and made our poster more teenager friendly and exciting.
