Poster Research

After completing my newspaper, even though I know I can edit it at any stage, i can start my poster.

I feel that this is is a stage of my coursework that I can be comfortable with and I anticipate that the only aspect that would be to my disadvantage would be my technical skills using Photoshop as I feel that the outcome would look quite amateur, as I have never created a poster before in it and it would be a learning curve for me.

I found it hard to conduct some research for a poster advertising my new local paper, as I couldn't find many examples, other than other students previous work.

 This is an image of an advertising campaign set in Africa: 

The basic meaning behind the poster is using the money as a background as the newspaper is trying to  illustrate Zimbabwe's economical situation under President Mugabe.

After unsuccessfully finding professional poster adverts for local newspapers, I have decided to research several type of posters, e.g. billboard. As this will hopefully give me some sort of idea of presentation.

This poster is for a television station and the image correlates to the text i.e 'Nothing Gets You Closer' and a close-up photograph. It contains the channel name, show the type of station and contains a hash-tag so viewers can interact and connect via twitter.

I believe that this is a campaign for publicising London Taxis and it is a vivid colour and definitely attracts the eye.
I personally don't quite grasp the concept of the illustration but I can see that it it relates to some sort of map and thus, makes it relevant to a taxi firm.

I have noticed in both of these posters that the text is bold and blocked in colour and this is definitely something that I could pass on into my own poster at some stage.
