Practical Work

  

  SHSG ADVERT

I made a Print Advert for my school sixth form. I worked using Photoshop, along with practicing my physical skills of photography – as we used cameras to take the photos. I created a collage type advert as I thought that it would be the most appealing for my audience. I also used a teal colour for the middle layer as it complimented the school colours of green and red (on the logo).

BEUATY ADVERT

I created a beauty advert for a Gucci Perfume bottle using Adobe photoshop. I decided to use a pink, feminine colour scheme as the target demographic for the product itself is towards women (and pink is stereotypically seen as a feminine colour). I also used cut outs of different flowers as I wanted to almost create the idea that the perfume is coming out of the bottle – perhaps hinting that the scent is out of this world.  I also featured the logo of the Gucci brand to make the advert simple and understandable for my audience. 

  

BIG ISSUE

I created a Big Issue cover, which is relevant to today's society - using Adobe Photoshop. I used the celebrity of Amanda Seyfried, as she is starring in the upcoming film of the Housemaid, which came out on Boxing Day 2025. I chose a red background as it connotes danger and creates a sense of alarm in the audience and this also links to Amanda's character who she played in The Housemaid. 

MUSIC VIDEOS OVER THE YEARS 

I created a timeline about how music videos and technology have changed over time. I researched the information and then used Canva to create a simple to understand poster. 

THE GUARDIAN COVER REPLICA 

Using photoshop, I created a cover which adheres to the conventions that Guardian newspaper cover would. I based my story on the killer of Ed Gein - and tried to use catchy headlines which would be appealing for an ABC1 demographic. For the other stories, I based them on the zeitgeist- for example the budget that labour was starting around the end of 2025/ start of 2026. I used a wine advert - as this will be exciting for my middle aged demographic and also represents how the Guardian sometimes will use advertising for their funding.
