Poster Creation

I thought that after I completed my front cover, the poster would be the next relevant stage in the process of creating my coursework.

My initial intentions for the poster were that there would be a newspaper open to a page were all the text were saying positive words like 'Honest. News. Local' etc.
   I collected my source for this by printing out a sheet of these words and photographing that at different angles but when I began to edit them, I soon realised that the quality of the lighting wasn't good enough to be large scale.
   I tried to over come this by making the page seem more clip-art (by brightening the page to a white as well as painting over the original text) and I felt that it contrast well against the black background that I had allocated yet it began to look to unprofessional and amateur and not resemble an actual newspaper.

This was as far as I attempted after losing motivation over the look and style of the newspaper that is featured within the poster. As you can see, I tried to make the key words in the poster LOCAL stand out in red, which also ties in with my other theme.

    It was nearing the end of the editing phase when I re-looked at my edited pages and despised them. I thought that they looked over edited and more like a clip-art image than any newspaper.

This caused me to rethink my designs for the poster and to conduct another shoot...
