Developing My Documentary Poster - Part 5

Due to me being indecisive about which font style to personify my documentary title I compared my two favourite styles together via a print screen to determine which one suited not only my rationale most accurately but which one co-insided and co-inhabited most effectively alongside the other elements (layout, image, additional text, colour etc.) With both of them displayed together my overall choice is going to the 'KG Skinny Latte' font rather than the 'Caneria Script'. The latter of the two fits the page well, the lettering isn't too large as to dominate the product yet isn't too insignificant as to be overlooked by the audience when they initially view the poster. The 'Caneria Script' is far too large once enhanced to the correct 48pt size that was required for the headline, it looks contorted against the page as if it would overflow off the document making it look very unprofessional in a sense for a mainstream production. It appears to battle with the image for viewer attention, the whole clash just makes it unsettling to look at in my opinion you can't distinguish what is the centre point of the poster, one element has to be dominant over the other for everything to be in harmony. Now that I've seen them against each other I prefer the 'KG Skinny Latte' over the 'Caneria Script' as I confidently feel it works better with the other elements then 'Caneria Script'

I received some peer feedback from my fellow classmates and they recommend me to try out a new handwritten font just to be certain that 'KG Skinny Latte' was deffinetly the correct one to use for the finished piece. I compared it a second time against 'Kelly's Lullaby' style which is portrayed on the left. Immeditally I could identify the inconsistencies with it compared to 'KG Skinny Latte', for 'Kelly's Lullaby' the letters are too close knit together making them all seem co-joined and difficult to read from one another when the text had been enhanced. It was also too small for a headline despite being on the identical 48pt size as the 'KG Skinny Latte' and not bold or necessarily dramatic enough to instantly grasp the audiences attention to the product. Therefore I have concluded I will use the 'KG Skinny Latte' in the finished poster piece after much deliberation.

This is the final completed production of the auxillary one task which was to create a poster for my documentary. After many weeks of consistent alterations and constant feedback from my lecturers and peers I firmly believe I have been able to achieve the ultimate potential my poster has to offer to the target audience. When I look at it I am incredibly pleased with how all the elements sit on the page, it just looks to me as a professional mainstream poster that I would expect to see advertised by the BBC network and I'm hoping my audience will feel the same as me.

To ensure my poster has maxed its full potential I converted it from a photoshop PSD file to a JPEG image so it could be sent to me lecturer Kay via an email. From there she is to show it to the head of media who will detail me her feedback, this way I have a neutral point of view on the production, this prevents any bias and determined whether or not any additional edits need to be made or elements adjusted in any manner.
