My finished Poster

I wanted to contain as little writing as i could. I made the background picture black and white so that the rest of the text stands out over it. I left a blank space for the readers to be able to read the word basildon. This shows that it is a local newspaper without having to write the word local as it shows it is only relevant to the Basildon Community.

I included the website on the poster as readers may wish to find information from the website.
The only colour on the poster is the name of the newspaper and i think the name of the newspaper is the most important part of the poster as it needs to be recognized it makes it the first thing you look at when you first glance at this poster.

The caption, i wanted to make it very personal to the reader so they feel like its their newspaper. By putting its your community, it makes the audience feel more personal and that its theirs, information in there is for them.I didn't want the black writing to clash with the black and white background therefore i made the writing capitals and bold.

 Step 1


I collected a photograph of the known basildon sign. Since my newspaper is a local newspaper for the basildon community.
i felt having such photo would make it more personal to the audience.

I also change the colour to black and white to five it the newspaper feel.

Step 2

Secondly i add my newspaper title surrounded by thin straight lines to make it stand out. I kept the title with colours as i feel the title is the main part of the poster.
It allows the name to stand out from the rest of the page.

The next thing i had to do was think of a short caption to finish the poster.
I wanted to keep the poster looking simple.

Step 3




The last part was thinking of a caption.
I decided to have " filled with all that there is to know, its your community"

I felt that it attract my audience as it was written in a way which comforted the audience as it uses words such as "your"

I used capital letters for it to stand out.
