Ancillary 2 - Final Billboard Poster

Here is the final version of my poster as you can see I changed the font to the same font as my ITV title card to keep the branding of the institution the same throughout my products.

Ancillary 2 - Poster Draft

Here is the first draft of my poster which I had created I thought overall that the poster was good and help show the dullness of my soap but the font used was not the same as I used for my ITV title card at the end of my trailer.

Billboard with ITV logo

Here I added the ITV logo on the bottom left hand corner as this was the institution which would broadcat my soap and the majority of existing ITV billboard posters have the logo in the same position as mine

Billboard Poster Background

I decided to just create the background for the poster as within my group we have created our own trailers with different name like mine is called Skylar Grove. I thought this would make it easier for the rest of our group to edit the poster so that they could make it there own and promote their own soap.

Ancillary 1 - Final Magazine Cover

The overall layout of the magazine was created by Jack Kane but I had to change George Street to Skylar Grove as Skylar Grove is the name of my soap and also I had to change the time when the soap is on so there is continuity within my products.

Ancillary 1 - Edited Front Cover

This was created by Jake Kane. As you see in this edited version of the magazine the barcode and the price has been placed on to the cover of the magazine fullfilling the conventions of a magazine front cover.

Ancillary 1 - Magazine Cover First Draft

This was created by Jack Kane, as you see the layout of the magazine is quite good for the first attempt and you can see clearly the coventions used like in TV & Satellite Week but it is missing the barcode and the price of the magazine.

Planning - Billboard After Taken Photos

After we took pictures for our ancillaries we decided that it would be Jack and Aneesa on the poster and so we planned what the poster wouls look like after this decision

Initial Planning - Billboard

Initially Kate, Aneesa and I planned the poster so that Kate and Jack would be the characters on the poster as this was one of the most captivating storylines that we had within our trailers

Ancillary Planning - Magazine Covers

Here is the planning for ancillary 1 - the magazine cover which was done by Jack Kane

Existing Magazine Cover


Q2
As you can see an existing magazine cover has certain conventions to make it a quality magazine cover:
  • Masterhead
  • Main title anchored on main star
  • Barcode
  • Strap on the top
  • Date of issue
  • Button
  • Clearly laid out
  • Main title stands out to show the reader it is the main story
  • Question to include the reader
  • Day and channel when program is on
  • Other stories that could interest the reader
  • Can see all the characters clearly
  • Bright house colours to grab reader attention
  • Main character is looking straight at the camera to engage the reader
  • Website
  • Articles promoting different types of programmes
These conventions can help when planning and creating our magazine cover so that we have a conventional magazine cover within our products
