Research-Poster boards


I noticed that there were a limited number of posters for local newspapers available. The only type of posters i could find were posterboards that showed the papers main headline. This resulted in these posters being more for the sellers of the paper and not the newspaper itself, as it didnt include much information on the newspaper itself and more to the main headline. Therefore we researched further into this problem and found the link to a number of posters made by newspapers at certain times of the year to advertise either a major event or to recieve further publicity for the paper.



Although they were again limited, we decided to try and create a poster similar to the ones we have researched. These posters identify the newspaper advertising them, but also come up with slogans or sell lines that can be rememeber by the audience. For instance, in the second poster, 'some tools arnt a luxury' this could portray a hidden meaning behind the image and can make the reader depict this image, with it not necessarily being related to war. As a result of this we have decided that we will use these posters as inspiration for our own and try and create a poster that links with our local area and topic. Using a sell line or slogan to engage the audience and interact with our poster.
