Me and Charlotte decided fairly early on that she would create the poster and I would write the review, a good decision as there are two tasks and only two of us in the group. The article should follow the conventions of layout and language for film reviews found in the magazine
Little White Lies. We studied these in class, but I also accessed the digital edition of
Issue 32 and print-screened the review for
Monsters so I could study it when creating my own layout:
 |
| Full review |
 |
| Copy | |
|

I've yet to write the review for our short film, so I've substituted the future copy with the word 'text' over and over again to give an impression of what the final piece will look like:
 |
| Full review |
 | | |
| Title, info and initial text |
|
|
|
 |
| Image |
 |
| End comments |

I created the layout on Microsoft Publisher but encountered a few problems, namely the alignment of text and finding suitable fonts. The former can be seen in the fourth image I posted, but I can hopefully rectify it for the final piece. I also forgot to include the page number and accompanying icon (these can be seen in the
Monsters review), but I'll add those in later.
This looks good in this format, but I think some of the problems you encountered would be resolved by using indesign. You'll get more reward for using indesign as it's a more sophisticated software.
