Developing my Documentary Poster - Part 3


In continuation on from my last construction post I subsituted the BBC three logo for a plain but dramatic bold BBC logo, not only did I want to see how other BBC logos were presented along the page, I also reconsidered using BBC three as my main distributor as because they are a sub division of the BBC, they don't attract very much media attention therefore don't get many posters created for their shows unlike the mianstream BBC one network. I thought it would be unconventional in a sense to include them as my distibutor for that reason. Besides the logo change every other element remains untouched.


After finally deciding I desired my documentary to be shown on the BBC one network due to its overwhelming popularity, I changed the simple BBC logo to that of BBC one. The text for the headline was also spaced out so that each individual word had profound emphasis upon it, before I had it wrote out in a sentence style so the words were clumped together and read in a straight line which looked cluttered and unattractive to the viewing eye.


I left the logo and 'coming soon' untouched and focused upon trying to perfect the title of my documentary as I was still struggling to accept that the font fitted correctly with the other conventions on the page - to me it still looked well out of place. I rehighlighted the text and selected the 'Lucinda script' to test out this particular style of font. I wasn't sure this would conform to my standards as the title is even harder to read now and the letters cannot be clearly distinguished at all.


Because I was discouraged by the 'Lucinda' text I used in the previous screenshot I altered the font back to its original style 'Caneria Script'. As you can see from the two images side by side, the one on the right was dramatically altered to currently how it is presented located on the left. I concluded I needed some sort of byline or quote to grant a bit extra audience attention so I swapped the BBC logo into the right hand corner, replacing the 'Coming Soon' as I felt that was a bit too boring an uninformative. I inserted the byline 'A Deadly New Phenomenon' as to me it was more interesting and intriguing to engage with, it would get the audience thinking of what was to happen in the documentary as they don't know what this new 'phenomenon' is. Additionally I added the date and day the documentary is screened on, to give extra information t the viewer so they know when it is to be broadcast so there is no chance of them missing it.


In this step I slightly altered the position of the title of the documentary so it was to align perfectly with the shape of the girls spine.
