6.1 Print Artefact Designs Draft 1

Print Artefacts - First Drafts 

Before making any sort of start on the print artefacts we needed to plan and make up some mock designs of what they would look like, so we know where to get all 20 marks for both of the print artefacts.

The Newspaper Advertisement 

 The First Draft 

 In this design I have used a train which will explain to the audience through the poster of what the documentary is about.

The train will defiantly be the big speaking point of the poster so when I actually design it I would like to try and blur the background out to make sure that people focus on the train so they don’t get the wrong idea of what the documentary is about.

For the titles I would likely use “Channel 4 Chadwick Bold” (Which is unavailable on School computers) but it makes the font easier to read and helps all of our target audiences to understand the Ad. Also I would have the titles in a white box and the text to be a black colour. 

The Second Draft 

 In this Ad I have planned to use the sign of the local town I live in and also because that the majority of the documentary is filmed in the Tamworth area. Although the only bad thing is that people won’t necessarily associate Tamworth with the HS2 as Hardly anyone knows Tamworth exists. So maybe i could use something in Tamworth where people might link back to the HS2.

The Third Draft                                                     

This ad I feel represents the Hs2 for the most reasons people are against it. As 100s of acres of countryside is being demolished. So, this is a good representation of what most people know the HS2 is going to do, even though it doesn’t have the train in it, I feel that the audience will look at this and still know the effects the HS2 will have.

The Double Page Spread 

Here are the Original Drafts for the double page spread design: 

This was the orginal planning and design, it had tamworth train station as the background and a review in the top corner. But that is as far as it got.

This was the second draft of the double page spread. The background focuses on the national rail sign, with the red and white colours. I liked this one a lot when i was designing it. But after a review of the finished product below me and Dan both felt that it really didnt fit the codes and conventions of the magazine that we had alreday researched and planned for. Although we did keep some of the content for it like the interview we had in the magazine articles, but in the final product we had a few changes.
