Final Feedback on my Documentary Poster

Despite me having believed I had come to a coherent conclusion in the construction of my documentary poster it can to my attention that I should conduct one final peer review to ensure my production had reached its maximum quality.

In a previous post I documented how I was comfortable with the auxilary product I had produced regarding the poster advertisement for my double page spread. Seen above is the original completed draft which I am extremely happy and pleased with, as due to many peer reviews and lecturer assessments it had been reached to a conclusion that no more editing was required for this particular task. However one of my lecturers made a comment last week that he believed the headline for my programme 'The Girls Who Wouldn't Eat' was not positioned correctly enough, sure the font and style appeared fine, his issue revolved around the placement of the letters. What he proposed to me was that I moved all of the words down so the 'W' of 'Wouldn't' fit directly in the indentation of the models back where the spine ends. He felt this would create rhythm and consistency throughout the production, he did not deny that all the elements worked well together but detailed how its professional sheen could be emphasised further through the use of the placement of the headline as it would directly link the image with the title, highlighting they corresponded with one another more thoroughly.

Encouraged by his words I decided to make the necessary alterations that would improve significantly the overall performance of my poster to the exam board. I began by loading the document up in Adobe photoshop so I had all the correct tools to make these changes possible. For my next stage I grouped together each word of the title as they were all inserted separately in individual text boxes, I had chosen to do this previously as it would allow me to individually move each word without misplacing or altering the position of another which was perfectly fine. With all the headline grouped it would allow easy manouvering to get the title in the essential position (in the groove of the models back) Once everything was grouped, I used the directional arrow keys on the keyboard to steadily move the headline down until the 'Wouldn't fit exactly in the indentation as what was initially proposed. With a minor directional change to the left I was pleased with the new positioning of my title. Finally I asked my lecturer again to receive his new verdict on the change he had recommended, after studying it he said he was content with what I had done and that no further corrections could be made.

I was relieved to note that I had completed my poster after months of hard preparation and ardious work to achieving its potential. Most importantly I have benefited massively from the guidance of my peers ad lecturers as without their comments and opinions I would not have related to what the audience or a neutral party desired in my product, as having my own judgement on my product would have ensured my biasm prevented it relating to the audience and readers I had proposed in my brief.
