This week, I created the last three advertisement for the Global Journalist.
In the ad for the World Editors Forum I I combined both the logos of the World Editors Forum and their owner World Newspapers Association. At first I had trouble putting the elements together in a harmonious way. In my first version, I put the logo of the World Newspapers Association next to its full name. But I later decided to put it in the middle of the page, so that there would be a consistent central axis for the whole ad layout.
With the ad for the Freedom House, I created a bar for the explanation of the Freedom House with a triangle extended, so that it is associated with a roof as a word play with the name of the organization.
With the ad for the ad for the Inter American Press Association, I created a structure of the Z letter for the eye movement.
My efforts to find a way to embed a Google map on the magazine’s Web site still got nowhere. I talked with an IT trainer about this and she said I needed to change the way I put my Google API key. I did, but nothing changed. I wrote to another trainer to ask for his help and I’m still waiting to hear from him. I believe that it is a matter of time before we need to find a way to embed the map on the Web site of the magazine. The current map is put a Web site of a third party and they put ads on the site which often cover parts of the map.
RESEARCH:
I began recreating a Web site for my research on ad placements. I followed my committee chair’s advice on choosing a real news Web site, so that the reactions to the ads are more realistic. I chose the Website of the Global Journalist, as its structure and content more simple than other news Web site. I hope to finish it by the end of this week.
