Lesson research

During our lesson earlier in the week, we researched newspaper posters, looking at the conventions which we need to follow and we may want to do. When looking at different posters, we noted which things were good and bad about them, and noticed the similarities in the posters. We found that the majority of them would put "Free every such day inside". They would also include their email address and their slogan. The main theme which was evident on the posters, was the theme of local community. This would be reinforced with the use of pictures i.e: local school children.
We also looked at colour schemes on the posters as well as the layout. The more mainstream newspaper posters were more sophisticated with use of complementary colours and more advanced technology when editing pictures and use of graphics.

We will apply what we have learned to our poster, making sure it meets the conventions of local posters and reflect the same message as our newspaper. This may mean that we use the same colour scheme as in our newspaper for continuity and recognition.
