Ancillary task 1: Research Newspaper poster

I have been researching different newspaper posters using google and also books from the libary. I found out that most British newspaper posters are plain and simple without any pictures in contrast to the American newspaper poster that are more colourful with pictures. the british newspaper posters mainly have white background with the name of the newspaper and the headline in either black or blue font. i think the effectiveness of posters like this are not as much as those of the American newspapers which has pictures that creates a better understanding of what the story. this is the feedback i got from my potential audiece, i showed them the two posters and asked them to choose the one that the deem as effective and are most likely to but the newspaper and read. i found out that 60% of them chose the American newspaper poster and 40% chose the British ones.

However, i decided that instead of just following the British or American conventions, ill use aspects of both by having abold headline, using pictures but also using a symbol that would help my audience immediately understand what my story is about.
