First Trial of Ancillary Poster

When making my poster, I researched other types of posters to find conventions.

They consisted of :

• Main star/stars                                                                    
• Channel                                                                              
• A catching line, about the story, to get the audience attention
• The name of the show                                                         
• The time and date that the show is on                                  

With all these in mind,  I put together my poster. I was aiming it from the Hollyoaks poster, as there were no BBC or Waterloo posters available that fitted the conventions. Although the feel of my Waterloo Road poster and the HollyOaks one is very different, the conventions stay the same and so I just adjusted the fonts and picture on my poster to fit my genre accordingly. I put the channel logo in the right hand side, like the HollyOaks poster did. Similarly I put the name of the programme in a bigger font than the time and date, also making sure that it was above the other details. Like the Hollyoaks poster I used a clear main star, which attracted the audience.
