Different genres will use different colours, pictures, etc.2) Then if, and when, you finish, you need to use that information to help you draw/sketch a poster for an action adventure film in your books using the following storyline to help you:
“An elite CIA team track a killer in Antarctica, as the sun is about to set for six months”.On the poster make sure you use appropriate colours, fonts, words, titles, images etc.
