Structuralism Worksheet

This is a worksheet of what I thought structuralism meant after learning it in the first session.

Barthes Codes

This is Barthes codes a Theory which I have learned about and have also learned how to apply to media texts.

Image Results

Below is the result of all of my planning for the images:

 

 

I decided to choose these images as for some of the other images that I had taken were blurry, had other people in the shot, the expression of my model(s) was what I wanted, their body language signified what I wanted it to signify, but most importantly the shot type was what I wanted as it captured the essence and signified the text from the article in the article's image.  

Time Management

During my time outside of my lesson I have done some research looking at newspapers and have created a little list of what to add in the 1st page of my newspaper and a flat plan below. Within the next few weeks I will be creating my actual products using Photoshop and Wix.

Character Profiles

For my newspaper products my character profile for the people I want to feature in my products is people from the local community, who are positive about their local and so I have represented every type of person from the local community so as to not alienate them and so I have included teenagers who have followed their music and arts careers, local business owners who are celebrating something in the news, but also for people who don't fall under that bracket I have included local landmarks as this is what most North East people are proud of and will know and so I created articles which celebrated how many years it has been open and local events which included local landmarks.

Sunderland Echo Advertisement Ideas

This is on the Sunderland Echo newspaper website on the What's On page

From this newspaper page screenshot I liked the advertisement on the right as it is looks simple, but is a great technique my readers can use to find out things they want to go see in their local area.

From this newspaper page screenshot I liked the advertisement on the right as it is again simple, yet it has compiled everything on a the website in a small little box which is helpful for readers. 

From this newspaper page screenshot I liked the advertisement on the right as it is again simple but it is an easier way for readers to view and use the site. I also liked the twitter feed which is used on this page as it links in the twitter page.

From this newspaper page screenshot I liked the advertisement on the right as it is a long box which covers the right hand page with one advertisement whereas on the left hand side it is all stories.

This is on Sunderland Echo newspaper website on the Home page

From this newspaper page screenshot I liked the advertisement on the right as it is again simple, yet it has compiled everything on a the website in a small little box which is helpful for readers. Also this is a repetition from the What's On page which I will try to replicate in my newspaper website.

Time Management

During this lesson I have been redesigning the bottom of my newspaper website. To do this I have been     looking at existing newspaper websites to get a few ideas on what to add, what should be written and how. My research can be seen below:

I then created my own, using ideas from the above websites, which can be seen below:

So to summarise I have found the above websites and found that they all have a block background colour and put links on and other useful information and so for I created my own to use at the bottom of my website as it will help make it look professional and be helpful to my target audience.
