Change of Ancillary Task

I'm changing my task from a radio trailer to a magazine article.

RADIO TRAILER --> MAGAZINE ARTICLE

After seeing ex-student Tom Joyce's ancillary task where he created a double page spread for his film. 

I think it's really cool what can be done with the double page spread and this is something I will definitely draw inspiration from due to it's quirkiness and professional look.

Other professional magazine articles look this this:

From these images and other research I've recognised a few conventions of these magazine spreads:

- There is a main image of the film that can go across both sides of paper and is the main centre piece of    the article.
- There is text that discusses the film.
- There are other secondary images that are smaller.
- There can be quotes that are highlighted, and other interesting information that readers' eyes are drawn    to.

3rd Draft of Poster

I find myself doing constant drafts because I love graphic design!

For my third draft of my poster I decided to gain some audience feedback to see if my overall idea is working.

I asked Rui (left) and Aiden (right) for any advice on my poster and they offered their personal opinion in my 3rd draft:



Before I remove the pop-ups I will consult more advice as personally I like them, however I don't mind removing them if a majority of my audience doesn't like them. I will also take my own photos for the next draft which should remove the awkward lighting on the main images.

2nd Draft of Poster



With this draft I experimented with the warning pop-ups, and how they show infomation that follows the conventions of a professional film poster. I feel like this method of showing the information is more effective than my previous attempt.
