Production - Tv listings pull quotes

I changed the pull quotes from being italic and red to having a white typography in a red box. This helped brand identity because I have used this style throughout all of my media products. It is clear there is a link between my TV listings image, the article, the newspaper advert and the documentary.

Production - Newspaper advert progress

After my research into the Channel 4 brand and some feedback from my target audience , I decided to remove the cover line from the top of the newspaper advert. Channel 4 adverts tend to be more simplistic and generally just contain the title and the logo. Therefore, I decided to adhere to channel 4 conventions and I also feel removing the line makes my advert look more aesthetically pleasing.
