Revision: Newspapers and Political Bias

The Mail mainly has a conservative based political stance. This can be seen through the over the top language used like 'backlash' and 'blitz'. This is also emphasized with the bright red explosive picture. The phrase 'mission accomplished' is positive and shows that something good has been done.

The Independent is an objective magazine and therefore has no particular political stance. This is shown through the headline which is just clearly stating facts. They also have not used any visual images relating to the main storyline, as it could suggest a different viewpoint on that story. The newspaper features other plugs to other stories unlike The Mail whose main focus is the Syrian bombing story.

Comparison of Two National Newspapers (The Guardian and Daily Mail)

The Berliner or Compact Format (The Guardian) The Guardian was once a broadsheet newspaper, also known as 'the quality press ', due to the more serious approach that it took compared to other popular tabloids . But due to printing costs, The Guardian has now took on the berliner format. Because of these changes, people have said that the ' quality press ' has turned into more like the popular press . In the cover of The Guardian you can expect to see much more text (' copy ') than in a tabloid paper. This shows that they put a lot more detail into their splash , probably to try and keep the ' quality press ' reputation that they have. The Guardian is a left wing paper. This means that they usually represent the socialist ideology , which is supporting the distribution of wealth and resources in society. The agenda for their stories focus on economics, politics and 'hard news'. The Tabloid (Daily Mail) The Daily Mail takes...

The Big Issue - Front Cover Analysis

This cover of The Big Issue has an orange theme to promote the new film T2 Trainspotting, even the logo has changed which they usually keep black and white. Also, their masthead is very different to other magazines as it does not spread across the whole cover and so they have the option to move it around. In this case, they placed the masthead in the top left corner so that it does not affect the image. For this cover they also used a pull quote as the main cover line with a bright orange background which will attracts the audience's eyes to it first. The next thing that pops out to the audience is the black and white picture of the four main characters of the film. They have used this effect to represent them as being old-school, as the first Trainspotting released in 1996. The magazine features the usual release date, price and magazine sell line. These appear on every Big Issue magazine, however it does not need a bar-code as it not sold in shops where it need to be sc...

Pitch, Statement of Intent and Mockups

Pitch My aim for my billboard posters in relation to Fairtrade is to try and show the equality within the brand through the posters themselves. I will try and do this by using an outdoor setting, because it has that correlation to nature and represents that natural environment. I believe this will help give a clearer idea to the reader about the link to Fairtrade. This isn't clearly shown in my mock-ups as they are just sample images. The only reason I used these images was to show the similar style of clothing and poses. The two mock-ups have slight differences in layout and fonts and when it comes to the final poster I will decide on the most appropriate style. However, whatever it ends up looking like it will have a clean and simple approach, as I believe it suits the ethos of the company. Statement of Intent - For my adverts I intend to have the model as the main focus along with the brand name and slogan, which both have correlations to Fairtrade. With the picture I ...
