Poster Initial Notes

Similar to the magazine cover we are also creating a poster to go alongside our new soap opera.
I also went on to research the conventions in soap opera posters.

An example of a conventional soap opera poster.

Conventions to look for:
Bright, stand out colours
Symbols- is there anything to decode?
Main Figures- posters are mainly made of images and hardly any text
Background is important
What pleasures to include (gratification)
Something that gains attention- could be humor, shock, surprise, possibly familiar people

Tag lines
Details- time, date, channel

These are things I will speak to my group about including in our own poster.
