The language I have used on my poster immediately grabs theaudience attention with the use of a rhetorical question ; Whats in itfor you?. This involves language features such as a slogan as I amlooking to draw in the readers. This is an example of Barthes enigma

The Colour scheme I have used was created in order to fit around theWembley Stadium logo. The different use of blue shades worksaffectively amongst the white writing as it makes my masthead standsout. Blue is a dominant colour stereotypical known for boys, but it can

The first thing the audience will notice isthe Wembley stadium, so immediately they will know the area my paper isserving. The size and layout of the slogan is big enough to read from a distancewhich is vital if I am looking to draw in more readers. The words and image fittogether as I have stated that my poster is about Wembley which gives the

Overall my poster workseffectively as I have creativelydesigned the Page flap whichshows the unveiling of mynewspaper. This promotes mynewspaper by its Brand name aswritten in the slogan, and alsohow its presented as shown onmy newspaper masthead.It gives a good indication of whatis inside as I have demonstratedfeatures of Wembley by showingits iconic image of the Stadiumwhich tells the readers mynewspaper will be about news inWembley.
