NEWSPAPER CASE STUDY

  

NEWSPAPER CASE STUDY

We had to create a typical tabloid and broadsheet newspaper, both reporting on the same story, to highlight the differences between each newspaper. At the time, the Ed Gein story had resurfaced, so we decided to report on this, as it was quite topical at the time. We had to choose adverts and stories which would appeal to the target audience of each newspaper. We also tried to make the headlines sound as each newspaper would present the story. I prefer my broadsheet front cover to my tabloid front cover, because it look more realistic and uses most of the conventions of a typical broadsheet newspaper, like the Guardian. 

BIG ISSUE MAGAZINE

 

 

BIG ISSUE MAGAZINE

I made a Big Issue magazine, trying to link it to the social and cultural context of the time I made it. I decided to use the upcoming movie 'Marty Supreme' for the inspiration for my front cover. I tried to link the themes of the movie to the left-wing views of the magazine, to make it more appealing to the magazines target audience. I based my front cover off the typical layout of Big Issue magazines, to make it look as realistic as possible. I used a bright orange background, not only to reflect the ping-pong aspect of the movie, but also to make the magazine stand out and be able to be seen on the streets for vendors to sell. 

BEAUTY PRODUCT ADVERT

 

BEAUTY PRODUCT ADVERT

I made a beauty product advert in response to learning about Baby Dove's advertising campaign. I chose to make an advert for Sol de Janeiro spray and target a younger audience, who are the main demographic for buying this product. I made a sea using pieces of ripped blue paper and a sun to encapsulate the summery scent of the product. I used a gradient for the background, which highlights the product in the middle. My slogan also reflects this, including with my hashtag, which can target a largely online audience as well. This was done again to build confidence on photoshop.

SCHOOL ADVERT

 

SCHOOL ADVERT - 

I created a print advert for my school's sixth form at the beginning of the year to re-introduce everyone to the cameras and using photoshop. I used a layout design with a selection of different images which I think really sold my school. I then added some text in the school colours to tie the advert all together. This was a refresher for using photoshop at the beginning of the year and helped me re-learn the skills I will need for my NEA later on in the year.
