What I did today?
Today I developed my poster design after looking at a selection of posters that I found online for inspiration. I analysed different aspects and design prospects of posters that I liked and wanted to take on board for my own poster design, I then applied these design ideas and experimented with different layouts to decide what I liked the best.
I also spent some time experimenting with different icons for the Chronicle's Instagram account, discovering what would attract the audience the best.

What were the main three elements that helped me develop?
- Looking at posters that are already out in the public eye and which advertisement posters are popular.
- Analysing aspects of current posters to help me discover what kind of design style I like the best.
- Experimenting on InDesign, taking screen shots of different layouts and styles of design to help with a further and deeper understanding and idea of the poster I want to produce.
What did I struggle with today?
I struggled to find one single poster that I was entirely inspired back but then I realised that I could take inspiration from multiple posters and create my own design which would be original and unlike an ad poster that is already out there.
Was there a ‘what happens if’ in my day?
'What happens if I really struggle to use the InDesign software after having a break from it for a while, what if I'm unhappy with what I can produce?'
Were there any eureka moments?
I thought that my poster looked quite plain when I started designing it but I wanted to avoid fussy patterns, I looked at my blog post about poster inspiration and found the idea to create a neat, geometric pattern around the edge of the poster that matched up at the top and the bottom to keep the poster simple and trendy.
Spend some more time thinking about the information I need and don't need to include on my poster. Continue with the design so I'm as happy with the poster as I can be and keep track of my design process.
