Billboard - Drafting and Ideas

These first two billboard advertise the headline in that week's edition of the newspaper. These tend to be displayed outside shops that sell the newspaper. Both of these ideas displays the masthead and the newspaper headline. I like the first idea (left), because the yellow colour used in parts of the design allow this to stand out, and draw the attention of the audience. I have included the website in the design to show another way for readers to interact with my newspaper. However, I like the second idea (right), because there is a slogan that shows that this is a local newspaper for the local community to get involved in. The use of the blue colour allows the colour scheme of the masthead to be incorporated into the design.


These two billboard posters are posters that are set to be used at bus stops. These do not include any headlines or any information from a recent newspaper issue, these are posters that advertise the newspaper in general. I like the left idea, because it includes an image which could grab the attention of the audience. This also includes two banners - one is a slogan to advertise the newspaper's purpose, and the other is to advertise when the newspaper will be released - on Tuesdays. I also like the poster on the right, because it is a simple design that includes a slogan to explain the paper. A banner is seen at the bottom of the right design to display the newspaper's website URL (this will not be my actual website name, however).
