Plan For Poster

Like for my plans for a magazine cover I also had to do the same with the poster so I have created two plans which were both done on the computer.

The first poster plan is very simple, I wanted everything to be black and white apart from the picture so it would stand out more as the picture is the main focus. My tag line "It's not all happy in paradise" stands out very well as it is big and bold at the top of the poster. The text is also very clear for the name of our soap "Blossom Hill", and I have also included when it starts and what channel so all the information needed is on there. I like the idea as it's set out very clear but then I do think it is a bit boring.

For the second poster plan I also did an improved version, I really like this idea because it's not boring like the first plan. The tag line has a slight change "It's not all perfect in paradise" because I think the use of the "P's" sounded better. The poster is a contrast because on one half the background is a peaceful beautiful beach that looks like heaven where as next to it the background is a very harsh thunder and lighting which is very negative compared to the first picture but this ties in with the tag line of "not every things perfect in paradise" which I think goes really well. Again there is a picture of the cast in the centre of the poster which half with be in the positive side and half in the negative. All the information needed is on the poster set out nice and clearly, this idea is my favourite one as it is so much better than my first plan because it's fun, interesting and has a meaning.

Plan For Magazine

With our trailer we also need to produce a magazine for our trailer and a poster. I have done 2 plans of possible magazine covers, I did one by hand and one on the computer to show a different variety.

The first plan is very crowded but not confusing I have organised it very neatley but wanted it to be very busy and in your face. I like how at the bottom, I planned to have different stories in the zig zag shapes which firstly looks quite cool and then it wouldn't leave any gaps or white spaces. I have also made the left third have the most important information to try and sell the magazine, also in the centre there is the main storyline so it is big and will stand out.

 

The second plan was done on the computer so you can see it more clearly what it will look like. I have used very bright colours for the background and text to make it stand out because this is what current soap magazines have done and it has worked to grab your attention. I like the diamond shape of my main storyline cover because it looks a bit different and is very big, also I have all the other cover lines neatley together so I have set it out well. Again I have3 focused on the left third and planned well what I wanted to go there. Lastly I like how at the bottom of my magazine I will have a picture of all the characters in the soap so the audience will be able to see everyone who is in it.
