Bristol Nomad Poster (Subsidiary Task)

Toady, I have begun to plan and create my poster. I was not able to find ANY real life examples of newspaper posters, apart from those with a main headline taking up the entire page, like so;

Not very useful...

The only conventions I can glean from these examples are that firstly, it is essential to include the newspaper's masthead/logo so that people know what brand of newspaper to purchase. Secondly, there must be a link to whatever features you have in the paper that week. I felt that my link would be to focus on the eco friendly tips feature, as this is also included in my radio ad and would create a well rounded set of subsidiary media products with verisimilitude. The image that corresponds with this is a globe, as it is also the intended front page ear image, demonstrating the content. This image will be illustrated as I feel this adds an organic, natural element to the poster as well as drawing more parallels to the ideology of the paper. I will also be including a caption stating that its in 'this week's paper, so the audience will know in the future that it is a weekly paper and will remember to buy it. As my slogan is "At the centre of YOUR universe" the text on the poster will be placed around the globe image, rather than being overlaid, so that it links in better and makes a sound visual image.
