Evaluation Question 1

Website Editing Posts

The way our project has turned out, is that Ruth has been the one publishing most of the posts about the editing and creation of the website. I haven't included all of these as I felt it would be unnecessary to repeat all this information on my blog, however they are all able to be viewed on Ruth's blog.

The 21TV website has now been published and can be accessed here:

Completion of Products

As we are working in a pair, Ruth and I each chose to do one ancillary piece each. Ruth created the newspaper advertisement, and I created the double page spread. The link to Ruth's  finished newspaper advertisement can be found here.

Double Page Spread

I have completed the task of creating the double page spread for our television channel 21TV. As I created one of these last year for my music magazine, I was fairly familiar with how to go about doing it. 

I used Microsoft Publisher, and created the double page spread before adding any of the content. As the article is for a television channel, I thought it best not to have too much text, as the people interested are interested in the channel and the shows, not the background and pages of information about it. I have tried to make it short and snappy, with enough information to tell people what it is all about, but not enough to bore them and put them off. 

I have stuck to the colour scheme we have used throughout the website, as it looks professional and allows everything to link together smoothly to the audience. The hot pink also catches the readers eye, and as pink is typically more of a female colour, it will automatically draw the female audience in.

I have used the launch logo and the launch week programme schedule from the website, because it is information the audience will be most interested in, and obviously be able to relate to if they do then decide to visit the webpage. 

I have also included what Ruth and I said about 21TV on the 'about page' on the website. Again, this is copied information, but is the best way of advertising and reaching different members of our target audience. Some may be more likely to visit the webpage, but some may be more likely to read a magazine, so either way the important stuff is there.

I included images representing two of the featured shows 'Make Me Up' and 'The Dark Side of Drugs' just as an example of the sorts of programme 21TV will be showing. 

Lastly, I have chosen to insert the logo twice, as this is the most recognizable device for people to remember 21TV by. Having it on each page just reinforces this to the audience, allowing them to remember what to look out for.

Unfortunately I forgot to take screen shots of my progress whilst creating the double page spread, but here is an image of the finished product on Microsoft Publisher before I converted it into a JPEG interchange format.

Ayre You Ready? Logo

Originally, I was going to take a photo of a group of girls for the image advertising 'Ayre You Ready'. I researched promotional pictures Geordie Shore and Jersey Shore had done, and thought it would be good to create a similar image for our website.

Jersey Shore

I also looked at their logos, and decided to just have the logo on the website, as after a bit of thought, having a photograph of the cast on the launch site may turn members of the audience biased against the show. Some people may be put off by the type of characters in the image, and therefor choose not to watch the show, whereas if we show just the logo, there will be no audience expectations, and will have to watch the show to find out more.

Completed 'Ayre You Ready?' Logo

To create this logo, I searched 'distorted border' in google images for the background, and for the text I downloaded the font 'New York City' from dafont.com. I think the combination of the black background and the pink writing goes well together, as they contrast with each other, allowing the text to stand out to the audience, and the colours are girly but not over-the-top girly, making it relatable to all members of our target audience. I chose to use this particular font as it fits perfectly with the 'party' girls the cast members of 'Ayre You Ready' are.
