More than Just Lines on a Map: Best Practices for U.S Bike Routes
Question 2
1. How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary
texts?
2. Colour theme.
With all of my products I made sure that they had
specific features in all three of my products so they
were all linked together. One main feature that links all
the products together is the colour scheme. On all of
my products the colour scheme is black and white.
This will help the audience make a connection and
focus on my products more easily because the
themes are all the same. These products stand out
from others that are on the market because there are
not many black and white products out in the market at
the moment. On all of my products there is mainly
white and red font. There is also black font on the
poster. The colour scheme of the font is typical horror
colours, the red can represent danger and blood while
the black can represent dark and evil. My magazine
cover has a variety of colours to draw the audience in.
The variety of colours also make the magazine look
more professional and make the cover look more
appealing. The bright colours that I used on my
magazine cover were also used on my ident. This
3. Font.
Another factor that links more
products together is the fonts. On
my poster and the end of my trailer
I have added the ALONE title. This
is the style of my font and its crucial
that my audience recognises this
title so they can relate all of my
products together. The font which
the credits on the poster is written
is also matches some of the fonts
on the magazine. Again I did this so
the audience could relate better
with all of the products. I have also
used the same font style with the
actors name in all of my ancillary
texts. This meant that the font
style worked effectively together.
4. Costume in picture.
The actor is in the same costume in every
product. In the trailer we can see why the
character is dressed in the costume she is in.
This will help the audience identify the film
and relate to all of the products together. The
picture on the magazine is the character
looking at the camera. This will draw the
audience when it is on the shelf. We can also
see what the character is wearing which is
important for the audience to see because it
will help them relate all of the products
together. The poster also shows what the
character is wearing. Again this will help them
relate to all of the products. The costumes
also keeps the theme throughout the product
