It was Molly ans myself that were charged with creating the poster. We firstly didn't have any ideas between us but this didn't stop us trying new things and i think we worked quite well together in doing so. We stumbled across the perfect idea by some choice wording into google which ended in us finding the Motown party poster on the right. We were immediately drawn to this and began to copy it. It was however me who finished in my frees as deadlines drew closer but none the less i feel Molly was still integral into the decision making and overall look of the poster in the end. Again there is many similarities in our ancillary texts and main task which was something as director i pushed for at the initial first meeting and something which i am pleased we managed to achieve. As you can see we have used images of the three female singers in the shape of the Motown "M" and added a Motown logo and the bands logo and song name as an advertising tool. I tried to achieve the same if not similar colouring as the original but couldn't i think because of me lacking copious amounts of technical skills in photoshop although what i knew was enough to create many layers and shapes that masked out the complete photo's that were used as i used three in total to achieve the desired effect. I added the Motown logo as at the time we believed we were going to have one on our DVD cover also. It also acted as a suitable replacement for the "good kids" symbol seen in the poster on the right. I am again pleased with the outcome of this piece as i didn't think i would be able to do with how little i knew about photoshop but ended up creating an almost exact replica of the original. Also i like how we have used intertextuality at some point across all of our products. One small problem we faced was that the school computers didn't have the font Chelsea used for the logo but we simply transferred my work onto a memory stick for her to do add the logo at home.
