1. Final Newspaper Advert
– Ancillary Task

2. Fonts
I chose this font for the title of our documentary as I thought it
looked quite child-like so represented our title of ‘Is Fast Food
Killing Our Children’, well, as we are focusing on looking at
children in our documentary. I chose the colour brown for the
text as its suppose to represent the inside of the burger as I
embedded the text in to the image, to create a more
interesting and unique title.
‘In one day nearly 1/3 of I chose quite a plain font for this fact in the box as I wanted it

this was the colour scheme I was using throughout –
representing fast food restaurants. Also these colours make
the text eye-catching.

Monday 26th chose the colour brown so it tied in with colour of the main
8pm title on the advert, so there wasn't too many colours going
on which would confuse the viewer.

3. Images
On my newspaper advert I used 3 images, all
clearly relevant to the subject of our
documentary. I took 3 photos of fast food,
including a drink, burger and chips, then using
mainly Microsoft Paint and Windows Photo
Viewer I edited them, by cutting around them
and cropping them. For the burger image I
cropped the burger in half then placed images
of lettuce inside, to create the filling, I then
embedded in the text. I then placed them on
the advert and put them in a composition that
made them look like they were sitting on a
table, which I thought looked really effective.

4. Comparison to real media
The similarities between my newspaper advert
and this real media is that:
• They both have a colour scheme, although I
have used quite garish and warm colours and
the real media has used cool colours.
• They both combine text and images.
• They have a similar composition as they both
look like the food is sitting on a table.
• Both adverts clearly show the subject/theme.
The differences between my newspaper advert
and this real media is that:
• The real media has a bigger title.
• The colours on my newspaper advert are a lot
more vibrant and eye catching.
• My advert has more text as it is giving
information on a documentary.
