legal and ethical JWT

Legal and Ethical
for the audience grid it seams that not many people understand the add at first till it is later explained by me to them.
so far i have managed not to find anything wrong with the add legal and ethical reasons wise, the add seams to be fine and doesn't have any representation issues has occurred from my chosen advert

regulation 
the ASA regulates the advertisement industrial in the uk, their role to to look at any advert the people who consider misleading, inappropriate or offensive in any kind of way. and that some of the adds that they look at are watersheded to be only shown after certain times due to the nature they harbour or are removed entirely.

Animal cruelty and banking
the animals used with-in the adverts are CGI and are not real animals. the real variants would of served as a base so that the CGI ones could walk like them, but there would be no type of cruelty happened to the animals.
for the banking they are tying to say that they are different from any other types of banks with that they are not trying to sell people types of insurance they don't need and that they are not trying to mess around with the money in accounts and such

UNIT1: P2: PRINT CASE STUDY:first direct little frill







the add is advertising the online bank first direct which currently is the Uk's telephone and internet only banking company.its trying to reach out to a new audience of potential customers to converter from their current bank to first direct, which advertises its self as the bank with a difference and treats like their customers how they want to be treated. what the campaign says is that they are the type of bank you won't have problems with when it comes to customer services and that they are a reliable bank. 
Colours of the advert are in black and white, content is that of a Frilled-Neck Lizard running down a road chasing something and trying to get its attention. The Key art of the image is just the Little Lizard branded LittleFrill running
there is no branding on the image. typography is nearly just a hashtag and then LittleFrill and @LittleFrill. which is there for a social media for things like Facebook and twitter. target audience is most likely young adults/adults and anyone who is interested into moving to online banking. 
their current advertisement is 2D digital, print and tv based.
the tv and digital still adverts work together to portray a message that first direct is a different type of bank.
there ads come across as easy and simplistic which is to say that the bank is the same as well. the adds are meant to portray what the bank does with using less is more to get the messages across. like the the picture above which shows the types of fonts they have used.

adverts recognised style is that off animals with the capability to talk like ordinary humans, that talk to the view directly about how they hate bad customer services and tends to have all there adds in black and white. the add is trying to get people to change from their current bank to first direct.

Genre:banking, to get people to join their back as its different and they claim to care more about customer survice
Frequency:people should se this quiet often as its soon frequently on tv and once or twice on social media
Process: the making of the advertisement for making these are rough ideas, drafts of those ideas, then a selective few of those drafts are turned into adds

P4: Understanding how advertising is distributed and promoted

after searching around i couldn't find where my chosen advert campaign may have been advertised either in magazines and the streets. the add might of been in posted on bus stops to gets peoples attention while waiting for a bus, it may also be located on build-bords on roads on on buildings to grab peoples attention while driving. it may also be shown in various new papers

  1. Their market positionOnline market - Website based.
    In store market - Range is included at Burwash manor, which is a rather popular place for people to visit on days out, they also put on day activities as well so therefore there may take intrest in the shops crafting range.
    http://www.backstitch.co.uk/classes-workshops.html
  2. Their online presence - Strong social media base - Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Pintrest, Email, Flickr -
    all of which include promotion 
    of the products and prices.

    1. Current image, branding and advertising - Theres a strong based of branding on the online facebook page, which shows you the latest offers and event, and new fabrics, in-store and available online - located on the Facebook page, blog, local classes ads, Mums-Net classes and on Sheep Shop Cambridge.
    2. The product offer - Backstitch has a wide range of crafting and design products to offer ranging from paper patterns to tools.

    These of which range from several different fabric formations for creating jerseys, dresses, shirts and much more. Also you're offered different dress patterns via paper and digital for designing clothes, toys and jewellery and also have their own sewing machine repair service. 


    From what they have to offer I believe that due to the shop at Burwash Manor being the only outlet, it may be the stock room for online purposes as well. So this may enhance business purposes, around deliveries and staff.


    Audience research - From reading through reviews i think that the target audience has not specific area due to the fact that there are people of whom are interested in crafts and fabric creations, and some of whom visit on days out around the manor with families tend to investigate all shops on the site.
