Creating a billboard is one part of my ancillary task, and to do so I am going to use Adobe Photoshop. I would like my billboard to be simple yet effective, I don’t want the page to be crammed full with unnecessary information, but with what my target audience needs to know. In my opinion a billboard is like a teaser, and because I am also making a website for my magazine and then the actual magazine there is no need to fill the billboard with a lot of information. I plan on using a strong image that will take up the full space of the page, possibly in black & white to fit in with the vintage one off theme. The masthead of my magazine will also appear on the billboard because it is what my target audience will recognise, it acts as a logo. Linking my website and billboard together I will put the web address for my website on the billboard so my target audience will then be able to find out more information. And finally a slogan will also be used on my billboard to attract my target audience, this is a typical convention that is seen on billboards and other media prints. I would also like to experiment with different vintage looking backgrounds, possibly flowers or wallpaper patterns to make it interesting and different.
