Ancillary Task

For my ancillary tasks i chose to do the poster and website design. For the poster i started off going in one direction using with straight lines and it ended up looking quite box style. As you can see from the first image

below,

there is a title above and a sub line below. If i saw this hanging somewhere else, then i would not be attracted to reading it if it came to me or buying it if that was

an option.

Initially i liked the way that was going but after seeing it complete i decided it was not the look i was going for. Also i didn't think the title stood out enough and there is not much difference in the sizes of the text, so when you looked at the poster nothing stood out more than anything else.

For my second design i tried using different lines and approached it from the angle of thinking what all age groups would like to see. Because local newspapers stereotypically are aimed at the middle aged home owners and older.

Whereas i thought if i changed the layo

ut of my poster then it would hopefully attract a young As you can see on the left, i used a lighter shade of blue for the backgroun

d as i thought it was too bright. I rotated the copy of the poster so it was at an angle, and instead of using a black or red for my heading i changed it to pink. This automatically stood out and as soon as i looked at it, it stood out. I also included a subheading along with a quote, an audience always likes so see someones opinion.

I am a lot happier with this design and i am glad how much better it is from my first design.
