Festival Research

Definition – There are many definition of festivals, here are a few specific basics of what a festival is.

A festival is an event, usually and ordinarily staged by a local community, which centres on some unique aspect of that community and city.
It’s generally a day or period of time set aside for feasting and celebration, normally lasting either a day or a two day period.
There are many organized series of acts and performances (usually in one place); a drama festival, other festivals provide entertainment normally to please a crowd and celebrate through some topics such as,

Music
Dancing
Art and Design

The types of festivals in the U.K

Glastonbury Festival – this festival originated from the early 70’s and has expanded ecstatically through out the years, this festival carries on throughout the whole weekend.

Radio 1 Big Weekend – This festival is a free entry and free stay through the day and packs in all the entertainment to some of the world’s biggest stars today, they travel each year to each location in the UK so everybody can come and experience the major performances.

ITunes Festival -
This festival is fresh from the pack due to the organizers only recently bringing the festival to life. With one of the worlds biggest companys Apple provides a computer system called iTunes so they suggested creating a festival for their audiences. This festival normally lasts 20-30days.

As part of our campaign you needed to design a poster set for the specific topic which is campaign and festival. Later on in the year our target was to produce a festival on one of the main harms in the world today which is the Carbon Footprint .

This poster was designed from a website using a selcetion of edits and colours. This is a picture of a frog leaping into space through a rocket, this poster maybe suggest to others that he is escaping from the dangers of carbon and its effects on the earth. The space bowl around his head covers him from the harmful gases.
The reason why this picture is attractive is becasue of its bright colours and use of fonts to attract many children for the festival so they can notice the advertisment and come along to enjoy.
