Codes and Conventions of a print advert

After looking at a few print adverts in class our group came up with a list of codes and conventions used to make a print advert.
  • 1 Main image which is strong and eye catching
  • Image anchors text and creates a narrative
  • Channel 4 logo is always on the right hand side, 3D and not too strong
  • Central image sums up program
  • Colours match the image or mood of the documentary
  • Sponsorship is sometimes present
  • Red, white and black are predominant colours
  • Black behind the text, and no more than half way across the image
  • Scheduling appears, including date and time
  • Aimed to be published in lower, working class newspapers
  • Could be portrait or landscape
  • Minimum about of words
  • Positioning statement is catchy and short and links into the documentary
