statement of intent

I intend to make print campaigns to raise awareness of a media regulation issue – women’s right for education in developing countries.

I will make three products. Firstly, I will produce a social campaign, this will look like an Instagram post, it will have a #worldswomensrights, it will feature a main picture emblematic of my campaign of an African woman with a google search bar edited over her face with the words typed ‘women should stay at home’, ‘women should not work’, ‘women need to know their place’ and lastly, ‘women should not have rights’ over her mouth to indicate how women have had a lack of freedom of speech and have a right to a good education and to work. It will also have a username, it will also have all of the icons, logos, emblems that are associated with Instagram eg share, like button etc.

For my second, I will create a poster, which will be by Unicef. It will include a strapline, ‘Women’s Rights are Human Rights’, with the dominant signifier of an Asian women wearing a hijab as well as the Unicef logo.

For my third,

The audience for my products are sixth form and college students mainly from the ‘West’ as it is about raising awareness of what Jacques Lacan calls ‘The Other’. In fact, this campaign will help me to understand and engage with the concept of ‘Orientalism’ developed by Edward Said, which talks about how the West stereotype and caricature the East. So I will look to create positive countertypes and messages to support my ideas.

In terms of audience theory this is adopting what Paul Lazarfeld called the Two Step Flow theory which drew upon opinion leaders to alter perceptions and ideas.

Regulation NEA

regulation of social media and the affects it has on the younger generation

for my statement for intent i am going to try and regulate social media as the media of big companies store many of our private data like Facebook and snapchat. these companies are dangerous due to the private data they collect as they could cause a lot of damage and these companies contribute to many peoples lives as technology advances on. for my products i am wanting to write an article on the breach of privacy that occurred over a six month period starting at 7 June, 2018 and 4 December, 2018. this data i collected off of the bbc article website

i want to write a article on the regulations that should be put in place and to raise awareness of social media and the consequences of these breaches of privacy and the affects they have on people.

in my article i will start off with talking about Facebooks breach of privacy agreement and the ways that the breach affected peoples lives and how stolen data can lead to identity theft,and so on. After i talk about that i would then talk about how the companies should regulate themselfs to prevent this from happening

for my second product I will create a billboard that will have a hashtag #KeepYourDataSafeAwareness this way it can be linked to a social media post in order to gain more attention to it after the billboard will have company logos on it like a collage of logos like Facebook, twitter, etc

Regulation Practical Work

Statement of Intent

For my regulation NEA I plan to make three products, a flyer, a magazine ad and an Instagram post. These will all be based around a media campaign with the idea that gambling should be more regulated and restricted. Currently, the minimum age to buy lottery tickets in the US and the UK is 18, which is in place to regulate the ability to spend money for minors. I will make use of a hashtag in my flyer being #protecttheyoung to try and increase the audience participation in the campaign. My flyer would have a target audience of kids who would mostly be affected by gambling at an early age, and so they would be relatively simple with elements that are easy to recognise and relate to, similar to the flyers below with the vibrant colours. I would have indexical symbols relating to money (perhaps a dollar sign) and I would use these to try and get the audience to be more active while consuming it, as depicted in the Two Step Flow model by Lazarfelt. My magazine ad would have the same theme and ideas, but it would appeal to an older audience of people who have the disposable income to spent on things like betting or lottery tickets, and it will be more statistical, showing the real odds of getting money out of gambling compared to what you would be putting into it.

Flyer Campaign Design Inspiration

My Products

Regulation NEA

Abortion.

My campaign poster is going to be on the regulation of pro-life supporters using the media to shame those who are pro-choice. Shaming is a negative side to the internet and it is not fair that women who want to have a choice over their body are constantly being shamed.

I am going to use photoshop to create my campaign posters. My first poster will be more plain with colours and text but not too much. It will be going against people shaming those who choose to go through with abortions, on the internet. My second poster will also be plain, this is because if the poster is too busy it is likely it would not be seen. Campaign posters are made to grab the audiences attention. The poster will be

PRODUCTION – REGULATION CAMPAIGN

Statement of Intent

I intend to create 3 campaign print products around the theme of Media Regulation. I will base the campaign on the idea that there needs to be more strategies to regulate the amount of fake news and false information given out on social media. Being as the products will express opinion towards tighter restriction on the media, the main message behind the campaign will express elements of authoritarianism. The intended, target audience of the campaign would be young people, in particular sixth form students who use social media to engage in current issues. Each of the print products will be unique through the use of different designs whilst also having a link through coordinated branding.

The first product I intend to create is an A4 flyer which could be distributed to school students or included on a page in a magazine. I will create a border around the flyer with a background of a newspaper layout with the main background of the flyer being dark. The dominant signifier of the product will be the coordinated branding for the campaign overall which is the central text, anchorage – ‘Filter Out The Fake’ – To create this text and link it to the theme, I aim to cut letters out of newspaper and import the images into photoshop. At the top of the flyer I will include some quite authoritarian instruction in bold capital lettering saying “PROTEST FOR TIGHTER REGULATION OF THE MEDIA. STOP THE SPREAD OF FAKE NEWS.” I intend to further this idea through use of the hashtag ‘#FilterOutTheFake‘, this will not only encourage a way to easily share the campaign across social media sites but also for young people and teenagers to get involved. As for the second product, I intend to produce a landscape billboard poster. On this, I will fade a closeup image of a person covering their mouth and put this in black and white so it can fade from the dark background of the billboard. I intend for the person covering their mouth to encode the spreading of rumours, secrets and gossip on social media. Similarly, I will include the central branding with use of the newspaper text as well as including the hashtag. For the third product, I will create another A4 flyer that could be included in a magazine or distributed in schools. I aim to create a central, main image of a mobile phone open on the messaging app including anchorage of fake news spreading over text. Around the phone will be the main campaign text ‘Filter out the fake’ to create unity within the branding of all three products.

I imagine that my campaign would be produced by a authoritarian government who want the public to help protest against and help stop the spread of lies, gossip and fake news across the media, especially social media through use of hashtags to appeal to a younger demographic: teenagers and school pupils.
