HNGD 013 Copywriting for Advertising: Imperial War Museum’s Camouflage Exhibition (Distinction)

without comments

In the second assignment for HNGD 013, Derrick was asked to create advertising copy for press adverts and a mini poster campaign for the London Underground. His aim is to try to attract people to the Imperial War Museum in London for a camouflage exhibition. He was given the necessary background and information regarding the exhibition and a target age group of 10-80.
.
In order to incorporate and inspire such a large range of potential visitors, Derrick had to be creative and find links that might attract a different crowd than usual. By bringing in a seemingly unrelated but well-known childhood figure, The Pink Panther and jelly beans, Derrick is able to connect with a younger audience and add a sense of intrigue to the exhibition.
.
Along with his final mounted submission, Derrick sent in a large sketch pad full of ideas generation and his essay that came to 16 pages including a table of contents and a detailed bibliography.

Richard used Derrick’s assignments for this module as examples of what he wants in this moduleĀ for his on-campus students.

Again, I’m not going to post all of Derrick’s writing that went along with this, but it is scanned if anyone needs to see an example.
