Radio Drama Poster

This is my radio Drama poster

I chose this photo out of about 40 that we took because I felt it captured the sincerity of the drama. Simon, on the left is posing as Joe; he is Belle's boyfriend who is played by Emmy and is hugging him in the photo. On the other side is Belle played by Jess who is in love with Max played by me. My face is sincere as I am supposed to be playing a rapist.

I chose to darken the photo and put it in a kind of sketchy style because that way it portrays what we want it to as I mentioned above.

I have used a big bold title for my poster so that people are aware of the name, it stands out but doesn't look tacky and keeps up with the dark colour scheme.

I didn't want to overload the poster with too much information, only what is neccessary. What? Radio Drama called 'LISTEN'. When? Every Thursday at 8.00pm where? BBC Radio 4 Why? Because the reviews tell you to listen.

I included a bar of colour at the bottom because it contradicts the rest of the poster and may represent mystery or that it is not all bad, something good does happen. I was originally going to put some text in the colour bar but I decided it would look like I've tried to hard to get parts to stand out and will take away the mystery of the drama. I knew it needed abit of colour but without doing to much and I thought, abit of pink (Bright colour) will work a treat.

I have included the names on the top of the screen because none of them are well known and therefore don't merit big splash headlines because no one will recognise them, infact it would take away the sincerity if they did.

I have included reviews because it is important that the listener is provided with relevant feedback. If the audience see's a trustworthy source or someone/a newspaper that they like giving a good review it is more likely that they will listen. I also wrote a very small sentence to let the audience know that it is new and exclusive to the channel which is also there to attract attention.

I have included the radio channels logo because it is easily recognisable and have added extra information with the bandwidth and the web address to the left.
