Note: On this occasion, typographic content can be reduced to exhibition titile only, unless through your research, you wish to extend it? Ideas and Decision Deciding on a subject to create the poster on. Thinking about several subjects, which could be quite interesting, I began to think about things which havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been done to death, so, because of this I was able to begin to filter down through my choices. Most of these are subjects i know little about, but have a vague interest in.

The ideas on the left are ideas from my head, informed by my research and life expereince. Isolating my choices. Viral Markerting - From the use of the internet, i.e Youtube. How it has spread. Lava lamps - a design classic, retro invention. the era has been done to death. News - How it was invented, how it is represented, global use of... Could be interesting! Bicycle - Classic invention, and spread to many design classics. Done to death. God - Contraversial. We invented god? God invented everything! Animation - Could be fun to learn, but i am specialising and an animation style field, so I decided against it. Decision - The News History of Journalism Some surprising facts about the history of journalsim By Mitchell Stephens Rather than some relatively recent craze, stimulated by the arrival of satellites, television or even the newspaper, the good news is that the frenzied, obsessive exchange of news is one of the oldest human activities. Messengers were appointed to bring word, criers to proclaim it and busybodies to spread the word.

The need to know helped attract people to crossroads, campfires and market places; it helped motivate journeyers; it helps explain the reception accorded travelers. In most parts of the pre-literate world the first question asked of a traveler was, as it was in Outer Mongolia in 1921, “What’s new?” These preliterate peoples were probably better informed about events in their immediate neighborhood than are most modem, urban or suburban Americans. A similar fascination with news was evident in the Greek agora and later in the Roman Forum, where to the hubbub of spoken news was added information from daily handwritten news sheets, first posted by Julius Caesar. The bad news is that two of the subjects humans have most wanted to keep up with throughout the ages are – you guessed it – sex and violence. The Nootka of Vancouver Island, for example, would exchange plenty of important news on fishing, on the chief’s activities, on plans for war. But they also pricked up their ears at word that someone was having an affair.

And the tale of a suitor who tumbled into a barrel of rainwater while sneaking out the window of his lover’s house “spread,” according to an anthropologist, “like wildfire up and down the coast.” There is more bad news. The golden age of political coverage that journalism critics pine over – the era when reporters concentrated on the “real” issues-turns out to have been as mythical as the golden age of politics. In those rare historical moments when politicians deigned to face major problems and condescended to allow journalists to comment on them, those comments tended to be wildly subjective, as when the founders of our free press called their pro-British compatriots “diabolical Tools of Tyrants” and “men totally abandoned to wickedness.” Samuel Johnson, writing in a era when thinkers like Joseph Addison, Daniel Defoe and Jonathon Swift dominated British periodicals, concluded that the press “affords sufficient information to elate vanity, and stiffen obstinacy, but too little to enlarge the mind.” So much for that golden age. Yes, journalism has changed.

For the better – our ancestors complained that they had “no data by which (to) correctly reason” about events overseas; we often seem to have, if anything, too much data. And for the worse – it is difficult to imagine brilliant, progressive eccentrics like Horace Greeley or Joseph Pulitzer working their way to the top of the huge corporations that have taken over almost all U.S. news organizations in the 20th Century. And much doesn’t change. It is foolish to pretend that sensationalism and superficiality could simply be expunged from the news if only Geraldo Rivera or Rupert Murdoch disappeared. Nevertheless, we can still protest when the news gets too irrelevant, too shallow. We can better educate audiences about its limitations and encourage viewers to change the channel. The desire to keep up with the news seems basic to our species, but that does not mean that in learning about the world we have to limit ourselves to just satisfying that desire. Author: Mitchell Stephens is an associate professor of journalism at New York University. He is the author of A History of News.

The News British Newspapers A newspaper is a regularly scheduled publication containing news, information, and advertising, usually printed on relatively inexpensive, low-grade paper such as newsprint. By 2007 there were 6580 daily newspapers in the world selling 395 million copies a day.

The worldwide recession of 2008, combined with the rapid growth of web-based alternatives, caused a serious decline in advertising and circulation, as many papers closed or sharply retrenched operations. General-interest newspapers typically publish stories on local and national political events and personalities, crime, business, entertainment, society and sports. Most traditional papers also feature an editorial page containing editorials written by an editor and columns that express the personal opinions of writers. Other features include display and classified advertising, comics, and inserts from local merchants. The newspaper is typically funded by paid subscriptions and advertising. A wide variety of material has been published in newspapers, including editorial opinions, criticism, persuasion and op-eds; obituaries; entertainment features such as crosswords, sudoku and horoscopes; weather news and forecasts; advice, food and other columns; reviews of movies, plays and restaurants; classified ads; display ads, editorial cartoons and comic strips. These images are a combination of tabloids, Berliner format, Compact format, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Middle-marketâ&#x20AC;? tabloid newspapers and Broadsheets.

They have an obvious telling, that the more serious newspapers have a Serif font in their title, following very close to a times font, this creates the illusion of trust. The tabloids on the other hand, use a sans serif font,, this in newspapers is related to more tacky views of the editorial. Threre is an obvious divide here, one appeals to the lower to middle class, while the other is going for the middle to upper class. The News Popular Channels The News Popular News Websites The News Graphics Popular UK broadcasting channels include the BBC, ITN, Channel 4 news, and Sky news, and channel 5 news to a lesser extent. Looking at the current graphics used, gather the masses, is a good way for me to think about how the information should be put across. The way in which many of these in their contempapry media, favour the colour red, white, and sometimes black too. The fonts used are simple, and easily read to allow the viewer instant recognition that it is in fact the news. Some of the channles just go with the logo for the particular channel it is broadcast on, and so allows for less on the graphics displayed.

Most of the channels display the world as a globe, obvously to say that it is the world news that they report on, so use of a world map is a good start to look at how to display the information. The world is broken up into regions, whether its by continent, country, region, or political. There is an obvious break in how the area are seperated and displayed. These days, computer graphics are used during the news, to show area, including terrain, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to show a balltle area, or to show the weather. Looking at the BBC, for their opening sequence, they have a big red globe that spins which is broken up as it does so, perhaps to show the breaking news, or to show the digital waves of information as it now passes over the world. Format So the news is basically information told to us, so thinking about the format of the poster, it makes sense to create an info graphic. Displaying some of the information I have found. If I begin to break it down, I could start to look at big stories in the media today, or even some of the biggest stories in the world throughout history.

Another option is to simply break down the news, to say what it is, and what it does, and perhaps the history of the news as a subject, rather than its content. Much like what I have looked at already. Thinking about these possibilities, I think that, the option to look at breaking stories, or breaking stories in history would be a good way to start to look. Thinking further, why does it need to be breaking stories, why not warming stories too? The saying goes ”no news is good news”. There is a huge association with sex and violence within the news media, and that is what draws the public in! Another way, is to possibly get quotes associated with the news, like “no news is good news”, or using headlines from national papers across the world. I think looking at it, for me, the best way to create an info graphic is to have lots of information, the headlines throughout history is currently my favourite option. Ideas Quick ideas for design, Top left, ideas for poser design form my research. Bottom left, from one idea, its now taken further in development, thinking about stories and headlines to use, placement within the world map.

This is the only type of map to use because it is the only version showing the entire map on it. Above upper, from another idea, containing news logos from varous newspapers and TV. Mostly from the UK and US. Development includes using logos form around the world, thus showing the world NEWS.

The House impeached him on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice; the Senate acquitted him. 8Afghanistan invasion (2001) After the 9/11 attacks, President Bush vowed: “The people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.” He made good on his promise. In the first stage of the “war on terrorism,” U.S.-led forces toppled the Taliban regime that had harbored the al-Qaeda plotters. But terrorist Osama bin Laden has eluded capture. 3Iraq war (2003-) It was a war in two acts. First came a conventional conflict in which the United States and its allies quickly rolled over the forces of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Then came a protracted struggle against an insurgency that frustrated Americans like no war since Vietnam.

9Oklahoma City bombing (1995) Homegrown terrorism struck the heartland. The truck bomb that destroyed the Murrah Federal Building was the work of Army veterans Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, who sympathized with the violently antifederal militia movement. The blast killed 168 people and injured nearly 700. 4Hurricane Katrina (2005) The costliest hurricane in U.S. history flooded New Orleans, scattered its residents and devastated the Mississippi and Alabama coastline. More than 1,700. people were killed. 10Chernobyl disaster (1986) Science fiction had warned of such an accident. At Chernobyl, fiction became fact when a Ukrainian nuclear power plant exploded, sending radioactive fallout over Europe. More than 330,000 people had to be resettled. 5O.J. Simpson (1994-95) After Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman were murdered, the former football star was named a suspect and the case became a national obsession. Simpson, riding in a white Ford Bronco, led police on a nationally televised slow-speed chase.

His criminal trial ended in a controversial acquittal. 11Columbine massacre (1999) Most Americans once assumed their kids were safe at school. Then came the shootings at Columbine High School near Denver. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 students and a teacher, then committed suicide. It was a precursor to 2007’s massacre at Virginia Tech, where 33 people died. 62000 presidential election Election Day 2000 was just the beginning of a five-week struggle to decide who had won. It came down to a 5-4 vote by the Supreme Court that ended a Florida recount and put Republican George W. Bush in the White House over Democrat Al Gore. 12Death of Diana (1997) “The people’s princess” was a complex personification of glamour, innocence and tragedy. Her death in a Paris car crash evoked extraordinary public expressions of grief; her funeral at Westminster Abbey drew more than a million mourners and a worldwide television audience. 13Asian tsunami (2004) The peace of Christmas was shattered by tragedy on the other side of the world. A Dec.

26 earthquake — among the largest ever recorded — triggered a devastating Indian Ocean tsunami. Nearly 230,000 were killed or reported missing, and global relief efforts topped $6 billion. 14Persian Gulf War (1991) After Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and ignored a deadline to withdraw, a U.S.-led coalition invaded. The ground battle was won in a few days at the cost of 148 American lives. Tens of thousands of Iraqis died. Saddam was driven from oil-rich Kuwait but kept power at home. 15Rodney King (1991-92) The video was shocking: white Los Angeles police officers stood around a black man on the ground, pummeling him. Rodney King was a parolee who had kept driving when police tried to pull him over. The acquittal of four officers on brutality charges sparked riots that left more than 50 people dead. 16Branch Davidians (1993) At least 80 members of the Branch Davidian sect were killed during a 51-day standoff outside Waco, Texas. It began when federal agents tried to arrest group leader David Koresh for stockpiling guns and explosives.

The compound exploded in flames after the FBI sprayed tear gas and the Davidians began shooting; a federal investigation said the Davidians started the fire. 17Challenger explosion (1986) Christa McAuliff was going to be the first teacher in space. But 73 seconds after launch, the space shuttle blew apart, killing all seven astronauts. The TV images horrified the world. Disaster hit the program again in 2003, when seven astronauts died aboard the shuttle Columbia. 18Tiananmen Square (1989) The spirit of China’s studentled pro-democracy protests was dramatized by one scene: a lone man standing defiantly before a column of tanks in the heart of Beijing. But military force prevailed; communist leaders crushed the protests, killing hundreds, possibly thousands. 19Rwandan genocide (1994) Neighbor killed neighbor, sometimes with a machete. More than 500,000 people died in about 100 days in governmentorchestrated violence that grew out of a civil war. Despite news coverage, the international community did not stop it.

20Nelson Mandela (1990) Rarely has anyone suffered so much and for so long with so little apparent bitterness. The South African nationalist, spent 27 years in prison under the white racist regime; his release in 1990 was the beginning of apartheid’s end. Later, as president, he used his position not for revenge, but reconciliation. 21Iran-contra affair (1986-87) The biggest scandal since Watergate dogged the last years of Ronald Reagan’s presidency. Funds from secret U.S. arms sales to Iran were diverted to finance a Central American war run from the White House. The system was an attempt to circumvent Congress, which had cut off aid to the contra rebels in Marxist Nicaragua. 22Beirut Marine barracks bombing (1983) It was an early glimpse of what would become a recurrent horror: suicide bombings in the Middle East. A truck bomb destroyed the barracks, killing 241 U.S. servicemembers. The troops had gone to Beirut as peacekeepers; the bombing eventually led to their departure. 23Terri Schiavo.

(2005) In 1990, Schiavo suffered brain damage that left her in a persistent vegetative state. Eight years later, her husband asked a court to have a feeding tube removed. Her parents objected, touching off a legal battle that culminated in a political and media free-for-all. The tube was removed in March 2005; Schiavo died 13 days later. 24Gay marriage (2003) Same-sex marriage took one step forward and several steps back. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court’s 2003 ruling that granted homosexuals the right to marry sparked a backlash. The next year, 11 states passed bans on same-sex. 25Pan Am Flight 103 (1988) Explosives hidden in a suitcase destroyed a jet over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 270 people. Many of the 189 Americans aboard were students or military personnel coming home for Christmas.

First Concorde Crash In The Last 30 Years These are all the more prominant headlines of the last century, and with a small selection of the last decade to date. Newspapers of the world Just a few examples of newspapers of varying countries, this could be used easily to create Design proposal 1 The idea of this poster is to represent the newspaper media of the world. the bulk text is that of stories associated with that particular area, or continent, and the stories are produced in very small print, but still large enough to read by the naked eye.

The areas in the U.S and aslo in Europe, display headlines over the past 110 years, and created using Times New Roman - Bold. This gives the headline representationand cathes the eye. The headlines are not finished as this is just a quick mock up, and the bulk text is made up Lori Epsom, just to show the effect that would be produced. The research shows stories that of the world that could be used througout the entire poster. Commemerating the news as a whole.

Inspirational Graphics Again, the same as before, but this time playing with a textured background to add to the feeling of how this poster is portrayed. It gives the old traditional look of how the news was printed back in the day, and aged in paper look to it too. There are plenty of way in which this same design can be produced, for example a more up to date look, in a digital world.

Inspirational Graphics News Associated images Design proposal 2 This is a combination of two ideas I had for a poster, making use of the word, â&#x20AC;&#x153;deliveryâ&#x20AC;?. I am aiming to package up the contents using main media suppliers of the world. Newspapers from many countries in the world, stamped on the side, much more could be included.
