Welcome to the Digital Publishing Production blog!


Through this assignment you will research publishing products and develop your own technical skills.  This will be done in order to plan, produce and evaluate your own publishing product, which in this case will be a film poster. Your poster will promote your own film idea, linked to the radio advert you will produce with David for the Audio assignment.
