This is a billboard that is in Dartford:

This billboard advertises the car manufacturers Honda, the main colour is blue as this represents young, energetic and intelligence, it is also a colour for being trustworthy, symbolising that a car from Honda is fast, smart technology, and that they are reliable and trustworthy. The white writing symbolises the elegance and beauty of the cars. The car is gold which implies riches, wealth and extravagence.

This is a billboard that is in Dartford:

This billboard advertises the furniture shop Harveys, half of the picture is in red to draw attention and to also symbolise alertness and excitement, while the text is in white to make it stand out and to show elegance and beauty. The other half is a picture of a lavish sofa to advertise what their products and sale will look like. Blue is a calming and reassuring colour that shows professionalism, which is why the small circle telling the end of sale date is blue.

This is a billboard that is in Dartford:

This billboard advertises Sky Sports, the main picture is of the famous footballer Luis Antonio Valencia so it would catch the attention of fans as they would be able to recognise him, the picture is taken just after he has scored, just like the smaller pictures to the right of it, emphasising the slogan of 'every goal matters'.



These are billboards that I have found on the Internet that have been made for newspapers:

This is a billboard for CTV News, they have put the quote 'believe' as though to give inspiration, showing that their stories are inspiring. 'News' is in orange which symbolises encouragement, excitement and happiness, which once again would reflect their 'believe' quote. The picture of the boy with his mum shows the happiness and how by believing they can achieve something together.

This is a billboard for the Deccan Chronicle newspaper, they have used a young and attractive girl in an almost provocative way to attract a younger generation, 'young minds', which is in red to symbolise excitement and point out that they have purposely made their target audience for the younger generation. 'News made exciting' is also in red to emphasise the excitement and stand out on the light background behind it. A picture of the Deccan Chronicle has been put onto the billboard to show the logo of it and advertise how their newspaper looks.

This is a billboard for The Sun newspaper, it is very simple yet still catches your eye as the bold, black writing stands out clearly on the plain white background, this has been done as though to make a statement of how simple it may be but so very effective. The logo of The Sun is in red which symbolises brilliance and urgency, because it is so bold and bright on the plain background it draws your attention to it straight away. "In Britain The Sun comes out every day.", this is a play on words as what it is trying to tell the audience is that there is new edition of the newspaper every day.

Miniature billboards:

These are pictures of miniature billboards that I have found on the internet. Miniature billboards would usually be found outside of news agents advertising the daily headlines of the popular newspapers that they sell. They are a lot easier than the normal large billboards as they can be changed quickly and without hassle, and they are small enough to have outside of a shop in a highstreet without being in the way.

Kent & Sussex Courier: http://www.thisiskent.co.uk/home

This is the Internet web page for the Kent & Sussex Courier, it shows all of the stories from around Kent and Sussex, the same as it does in its newspaper version. The web page has many colours on it so that it looks appealing, interesting and exciting to an audience. Adverts are being advertised, yet they have been put in places which fight against the stereotypical conventions of a general newspaper website, instead of putting adverts in places to the side of the main articles and features, they have been put in the middle, yet they have done it in a way which makes it still look neat and tidy. The images used are all mainly long-shots, this is so that you can see the whole of the picture which gives an effect.

The housestyle for the Kent & Sussex Courier is fully consistant throughout all of the pages,all of the text is in a black basic font so it is clear and easy to read, but the hyperlinked pages turn yellow when you hovver over them to show that they are interactive. The title is in the typical convention place, but the webpage is called 'this is Kent' instead of using the name of the newspaper.

Dartford Messenger: http://www.kentonline.co.uk/dartford_messenger/news.aspx

This is the Internet web page for the Dartford Messenger, it shows all of the stories from around Dartford, the same as it does in its newspaper version. It is related to the Kent Messenger and so has all of the same features and interactive elements. The majority of the pictures are mid-shots, but a few are long shots and close-ups.

Just like the Kent Messenger, Dartford Messenger also changes its first house style in to 'Kent Online' as they are both interlinked with each other. The 'Kent Online' house style is consistent throughout all of the other pages, the fonts are all basic and so are easy to read for the audience, the hyperlink text is blue so that it shows clearly how it is interactive. The title is in the left hand top corner as it fits the typical conventions for websites, but the logo is on the right top corner which is against the typical conventions.
