Unit 3:Create a media product

In order to follow the codes and conventions of a print product, specifically a poster and leaflet, i started by making sure i had a consistent house style across both of my products. I did this by deciding what colours and fonts i would use so i would be able to use them on both my leaflet and poster. Before i did this, in order to get some ideas, i looked at some examples of other leaflets and posters. This helped me get some ideas for things such as layout and font types.
