Looking at posters

Searching on the internet for posters advertising newspapers proved unsuccessful, as there was hardly any images of these, despite extensive searching of websites such as google, yahoo, wikipedia and poster sites. However I did find how newspaper advertisments are set out and structured by going on The Sun website, which was advertising aspects of its paper.

The Sun uses bold colour on a equally bold background in order to attract the reader to what they are promoting. The images used in these posters cover most of the area, providing more visual attraction. Each headline is exemplary of many posters, as they give enough detail to tempt the reader but not enough to ruin the story. This is done by many newspapers, especially the sun who sensationalize their headlines all the time to advertise. Words such as 'exclusive' and 'no1' is essential in persuading the reader they should choose that newspaper. In my poster I will be using my colour scheme along with headlines in order to appeal to my target audience and persuade them to buy my newspaper.
