One week left to complete Unit 20 Advertising Work and evidence

Lovely to have you all back😊

Now we need to complete our Unit 20 Advertising work

Focus is to complete your social media presence on twitter, Instagram and or website.

Remember your poster, film campaign on Horror/ Thriller must have a flow through - colour, text fonts must be the same but you may have to adjust position of these items depending on social media - this is especially the case for Instagram as you can only post square images (if your poster is A4 it will be cropped).

Now that you have completed social media and print products you are ready to complete M3, D1 and D2 - all sheets handed out in lesson .This is also in the blue assignment booklet handed out last term.

Work hard your deadline is Monday 13th Sept at 4pm.

All evidence to be posted on your blog in order with all prep and planning evident. All powerpoints must be converted to Slideshare and links added with a still image too.

Good Luck - work hard.
