Final Double Page Spread

This is my final double page spread. This is my second ancillary task which I have created for my coursework. This works alongside with my newspaper advertisement and my website with convergence to advertise the launch of my TV channel 'Urban Dex'. I chose a similar colour scheme because I wanted to keep the theme strong and have a clear link with all my tasks. The tasks all needed to link together to attract the audience into viewing my channel and also keep the convergence clear. The colour scheme I have chosen works really well in my opinion as it links in with the genre of my channel and website of Urban Dance and Music. The black and white chequred flooring is meant to resemble a retro break-dance flooring. This adds a little bit of historical content of my TV channel and shows I am very passionate about my chosen genre. Another comment made was that good use of layers in PSE, it clear on this double page spread that layers have been use to a high skill level. Also the strong use of images have been used in my double page spread to attract my teenage audience. Teenagers much prefer to look at images rather than read a lot of text. Also you will notice that all my images link in with the genre of my website. The picture in the opening corner is the same one you will find on my newspaper add. This is a good example of convergence in my task to link them all together so that the audience can relate to them all and possible want to look into my channel in more detail. My media teacher at current also loved how I edited the TV channel numbers onto a retro television in the top left corner. She said this showed great technicality and thought it was a very clever idea. It also shows the audience a little clear what exactly I am advertising. Another commented made was on how I showed more great PSE skills in editing the music notes coming out of the retro record player. Those were two separate images which I carefully edited together using the layers on PSE. Unlike my newspaper advert I remembered to add the actually launch date on this task and this was placed in my opinion in the best place. The word launch is one of the first things you see when you open magazine as its on the right hand side, then if you look in more detail you can see the launch date underneath. One the left hand side I have given an example of the Tv channels programmes listing as this will be in a TV listings magazine. Before receiving feedback that was a straight edged box also like my logo in the topvright hand corner. But from receiving feedback on how it looked to neat and tidy I then roughly erased the edges to make them sink more into the background. In my opinion this feedback was very helpful as I totally agree with the rough edge look. This now makes the double page look more modern and more retro. It also fits in better with target audience as they are more messy and prefer the urban modern look compared to a neat and tidy look.
