The document describes the evolution of layout ideas for a poster and double-page spread (DPS) about a documentary. The initial poster idea focused on using images without text to tell the story and make viewers think. Later iterations added more information and another image to the poster. For the DPS, the goal was a more creative design with more space for images and information arranged in columns to utilize the page space. The final DPS layout separates elements to make it visually interesting and draw the audience in.

3. • My first idea was to just be simple, which would make it
different from other peoples poster, and just showing the
audience straight away what’s going on.

Different images, different shapes and sizes, but
connecting to the documentary.

5. • This idea was based around images telling the story, no
writing to tell the audience what it’s about, making them
think about it, then wanting to watch it.

7. My poster design is still similar to my final draft, with my header in the middle
and images underneath and around, but all I’ve done is add more information to
my poster about the documentary, and added one more image to make it look
better.

9. That was my first idea for my design of my double page spread, as I progressed through
my blog, my design ideas got more creative, and the more creative I got, the better the
DPS, and the more different it is to others.
I wanted more space for images so it wouldn’t be boring, and it would also add a bit of
colour to the page.
The information would go into columns so there would more space on the page for other
things.

11. • This layout is different, it separates the page up to make it
look interesting to the human eye, making the audience
focus on it, and then making them wanting to read the
DPS.
