• What are the key conventions that help you identify the print text (e.g. title, central image, review quotes etc.)?

-The Ill Manors title is a clear title with big bold writing in the middle of the main characters chest. That is the main mark of recognition for the movie and is the basically the brand image because it is shown all around to be promoted in the same form and font that is shown on this print.

-The central image is of the main character holding a weapon(gun) and dressed in an urban and ghetto manner. 

-The print shows many different quotes on the side from magazines, artist etc. This is a very vital key convention to a print because it promotes the movie in a way because the ratings and reviews will benefit ill manors because it is advising potential viewers to view this and persuades them because it promotes the fact that it is a "BRILLIANT" or "A MUST SEE" movie which attracts people who are willing to spend money to go and see this British urban drama.

• What design features help identify the Ill Manors brand

The title is one design feature that helps the audience identify the Ill Manors brand. The title for this  is identical to the title in the magazine cover and in the movie they keep the font and the size of the title the same or similar. This is because it is a brand that should be recognised by the audience and the way it is written helps the audience identify the brand of Ill Manors itself.

The colour scheme is another design feature that relates and links to the brand the colour scheme of black and grey which are dull colours that are based around the movie so that is a design feature that shows recognition and helps the audience see and identify the brand of Ill Manors

 

• What examples of synergy can you find with the broadcast platform or other print examples?

Both examples that were shown show a similarity in the brand. This means that the title and many other stuff are all written in the same way and font so that the brand can be identified and both examples show the same link in that aspect.

Album Cover-


What design features help identify the Ill Manors brand?

 

The familiar and well recognised font that is shown on all other print adverts. The font of the Ill Manors title is written in the same font throughout the whole promotion and advertising of the film. This consistency in design is very professional and also helps the audience recognise and point out the film. The recognition of this will help promote the movie because the brands popularity will increase which will bring the film more success by the audience and fans of the movie.

 

What examples of synergy can you find with the broadcast platform or other print examples?

 

Yes, the whole concept of the design shows a link f the central image and the design of the title behind the central image of the character and in the case above the title is in front of the character so there you can see a consistency in design but rotated in terms of position.

 

What are the key conventions that help you identify the print text (e.g. title, central image, review quotes etc.)?

 

The title helps the audience identify the text in its font because it shows a constant font throughout other print promotions. The central image is of the artist and director Plan B himself so this will obviously be a sign of recognition for the audience because his fans that listen to his music will know him and will listen to his music so the album will promote his movie. Also the institution that has made the movie is at the top of the central image which is also a sign of recognition that the audience may identify.

 

 

 

 

What design features help identify the Ill Manors brand?

Again, you can clearly see and recognise the title on this print cover. The font is again the same and is based in the middle of the page for the audience to recognise the movie as Plan B fans and this helps promotion and advertising. Also, all the main and key characters of the movie are all placed in the print to promote the movie and help the audience feel a sense of identification of the characters involved with the film Ill Manors.

 

What examples of synergy can you find with the broadcast platform or other print examples?

 

The consistency in design show a link. The title is written in the same way and the image is placed under or next to the title in the other print examples.

 

What are the key conventions that help you identify the print text (e.g. title, central image, review quotes etc.)?

 

The title  is one key convention that helps you identify the print text and it is on top of the image in big bold font as it is in the other print examples. Also the central image shows the characters involved in the movie this also is a key way that helps the audience identify this texts. You can clearly see the characters and the audience would have already been introduced to the characters from other platforms i.e. a trailer and this print shows images of the key characters in the movie so this helps the audience identify them. There is also a quote at the very top of the print example to show a review of the movie which is a way that Ill Manors promote and advertise their movie this persuades the audience to go and watch it because they've been told that it was an 'incredible' movie.
