LO1: Task 1 - T In The Park

C)      Content

The formats have different content featured on them. In general, each of the designs have the logo always present, some even have a different style for them. The poster has the information pertaining all the artists that will be playing at the music festival, the time that they will be playing at what days and what the location it will be at. The poster has several differences in terms of content compared to something like the jumper with the artists on the back. The poster features several artist names which are bigger than the other ones which catches peoples eyes more often than not since they may notice the artist and they can become more interested.

The varied fonts are most likely to represent the artists that are playing in the music fest as they each have their own font styles that represent themselves. The banner has quite an artistic style due to the way they used their logo part and incorporating it as a main focus of the banner.
