Draft of my local newspaper poster (First ancillary task)



This is the draft of my first ancillary which is a newspaper poster. As you can see I have followed some conventions such as having the newspaper's logo and nameplate, by putting a big, bold, black text for the headline to attract readers' attention. However I tried to challenge some conventions such as the way how I used and placed my photographs; normally newspaper posters has no or just maybe one picture but I decided to have two because I wanted the readers to have the close up face of the victim. As well as, to have another picture of her family to get a deeper understanding on how this tragedy has affected other people such as the victim's family. The color used on my main newspaper page are white and blue; I still kept the text on the nameplate blue to make it easier for the reader's to distinguish the brand. However, I used color yellow on both the bottom and top of the page because I think this color is so eye catchy as it is bright, I strongly believe that this colour stands out therefore it will subconsciously force the audience to look at my newspaper poster.
