Billboard Posters

My Partner Chloe researched the Codes and Conventions of Billboard Posters for our project. She found the following Codes and Conventions following the analysis of several Posters:

• Cross Media Promotion- Webpage Address.
• Key Art.
• Logo.
• Slogan.
• Gripping, Effective and Emotive headline style information.
• Colour Scheme- the same as for the Webpage.
• Nameplate.

Webpages

Today I have researched the Codes and Conventions on Webpages in order to be able to create the product that I am making, a webpage.

These are the Codes + Conventions that I have found that must feature on each page:

• Logo.
• Brandname.
• Titlebar and Strapline.
• Column of Buttons linked to each webpage.
• Banners with Advertisements- Usually of relevence of my campaign.

A webpage can contain a wide variety of set pages; here are some examples:

• Homepage.
• About the Brand.
• Forum.

Today's Decision

Today we decided that it would be easier to split up into smaller groups/individuals as working in a group of 4 was making it too tricky to keep track of who was going to do what work. Although it primarily seemed a good idea as we could get the work done in 1/4 of the time it is now becoming apparent that doing work in such a large group means that we can't always control the amount of work being done at a set moment in time.

Despite this we have decided that we will become a pair with Chloe Bridger in order to complete this task as we can get in touch with eachother easily and can work together as well as independently in order to complete this task.

As well as this the Media Brief states that our campaign must cover two media platforms and if we work in pairs then we can each work on one platform and then consult back to the other on our progress and all about the Codes and Conventions whilst maintaining the ability to work independently on our individual products.

However we will still have to complete our own independent research and planning.

We have decided to stick to the Target Audience and Ideas already decided upon prior to this decision.

The products that we have decided to create are a Website and a Billboard Poster whilst also doing the appropriate research and planning for an iPhone App.

A Little Bit of Research and Planning

This Week I bought a new sketchbook so started doing some research and planning on paper and wrote out all pages previously done in rough. As well as this our group also began to plan out our pitch which we have to do at the end of October.
