ANCILLARY POSTER

PLANNING/MAKING

By Sophie Paige Griffiths

SECOND ANCILLARY PLANNING PRODUCT: “FRESHERS” POSTER

With regards to the inspiration for my second ancillary product: I strongly admired the Skins poster. With the close up of a specific main character and then a back effect of other characters creeping into the poster. This is something that I am going to consider for the layout of my poster portraying each character at different angles and going further back in the style of a backwards triangle. I have made a basic structured plan of the layout I am going to use my poster, With regards to the images of my characters, I plan on taking them all separately with an emotion that relates to their character for example Harriett will look extremely moody and un-happy as she is a “run away teen”. The facial expressions of the characters will also allow the audience to get to know what each character is like (personality of the characters).Basic layout of how I am going to put the characters on the

poster:

PHOTO SHOP:Here is a print screen to show how we cut out with the magic wand tool the outside of each character.

PHOTO SHOP:Here is the overall image of one of our characters after cutting out the green.

PHOTO SHOP:Here is another image of two of our characters that I used for my poster.

PHOTO SHOP:Here is a print screen to show my use of the “magic wand” with my partner. This shows apart of the green being selected by the wand and ready to be cut out to a white background.

USING PUBLISHER:Once I cut out all of my characters Images I began to place them next to each other how I planned and then began to add different images into the background to create a background which reflected my show and audience.

USING PUBLISHER:Here is another print-screen of my poster in progress with more images added to the background.

E4 BRANDING:In order to make my audience aware that the show is represented by E4 I used the E4 style guide in order to get the “plaster/tape” E4 affect which is popularly used by most posters and billboards on E4 I then uploaded it to publisher and inserted my text through a text box and rotated it. I also researched a scribbled out logo which I added to my text.
