Form Style & Content:

Poster, in a classic retro style with faded colours and the font of yesteryear. An adorning beer bottle and burrito pull in the viewer with an illustrated representation of what's on offer.

Boutique fast food, it is in competition with other local places that sell food. Ie. Boots, McDonald's, WagaMama's and Marks and Spencers.

Form Style & Content:

Poster, in a colourful and contemporary style that entices the viewer with bright colours. It has a native Aztec to reinforce the rustic and authentic ideal that Nanna Mexico presents.

Relevant Risk Assessment and Recce for all ad concepts

unit 1 - lynx peace advert frequency

-over 10 cities in the UK had giant lynx peace campaign signs across the country.

- over 9million dollars was spend on the marketing of the new campaign.

- it had appearances on the super bowl adverts.

- newspapers, magazines and social sites had print adverts featured .

- youtube clips played out for several months during release.

with all of this i believe the frequency to the which the audience saw this was high, with a budget of 9 million dollars.

audio visual analysis, for lynx peace campaign.


the helicopter is an iconic element to war and the print advertisement and relates to the print straight away with the landscape and military grade assets.





here we have a american solider looking nervous for war and the conflict instantly relates us to fact of this solider is unsure of the war wants to make 'love not war' putting the audience in the characters shoes.  



the simplistic shoot here shows the stand up defiance of love against war, and relates to the audience again, 





the direct images of the peace/love being shown with the american solider showing his compassion of love and dropping this weapon of death, this sequence is literally what the slogan is "make love not war" in visual and audio form without having to say out the words.





this image reinforces my point from above with the couple together in a long shot with other natives in shot, this shot looks like the print ad presents it highly.


the only thing i would find that rather different is the style of the advert, the print advert is a lot more colourful and fun loving and direct with love making and having fun, in which the visual and audio advert in the campaign is more darker with low key lighting and more serious themes at the start, then has us to be lead into the happy side of the love making and stopping the war and is trying to make a point with this effect and works rather well.  




week 4: the final proof and A1 line up



Week 3: feedback and developed production plan


week 3: the presentation


we talked about the 3 concepts and ideas for around 20 minutes, 5 minutes for each concept and then 5 minutes at the  end about which one to follow up on and keep as the main goal.

luis gave notes of general positive feedback finding the colours to be spot on with his branding, the 'EAT BIG!' slogan was taken very well and luis was really behind the idea.
the simplistic look of all the concepts were well received.
lastly the 80's concept was a big hit with the nationalist artist work style.

clean up the font, make the colours match better to company scheme, remove the ugly burrito and swap the images of mascot with something more traditional.
