Newspaper Poster

We have looked at various newspaper posters and posters in general to see what conventions and themes are used. Some of these include having the masthead of the newspaper on the poster, usually at the top or bottom. Other conventions include having the masthead at the bottom, using a simple easy on the eyes style and colour scheme including blues and greens.
Other convention is bold text that stands out really well against the background they all contain an image or picture.

For my poster I have decided to follow the colour scheme of my newspaper with sea blue colours, I have a bar at the bottom of the poster where information such as the website and name of the newspaper goes which I noticed was used quite often when researching.

I have decided to either use one photo showing community such as a policeman helping a person or local shops, or a collage of 3 or 4 photos supporting some aspect of the newspaper.
