Poster

We looked at a few examples of channel 4 posters in order to see what our poster would have to look like. we saw in all the examples we looked at that each were branded with the channel 4 logo. We also saw that the title of the documentary and the day and time it was on was in a coloured text box at the bottom of the poster. Also, the picture on each poster was simple but shown what the documentary was either about or included.





After looking at these examples we wanted to create a poster which was similar.

Codes and conventions of a print advert

• Branding - The channel 4 logo is seen on the right of the image


• Title - The title of the programme is at the bottom left of the poster in a text box


• The day that the documentary is being shown is seen below the title in a text box


• The image of the poster is one simple key image.

Here is our first draft of a print advert for our documentary. It has the channel 4 logo on the right, the title of the programme on the bottom right and the day the documentary is underneath the title. However, We took the image from our sequence and because of this we decided not to use this poster and use an original photo we took our self.

We took a picture of somebody's knuckles and used photoshop to make it look as though there was tattoos on the knuckles. We decided to use this image as it was original and the audience can see that the documentary is about tattoos. Again we put the channel 4 logo on the right hand side and the title and date on the bottom left in text boxes.
