Graphic Design at UCK

This assignment asked Derrick to create some promotional  material for a new BBC2 series “Sporting Quote Unquote”. It had to be hand drawn with no photographic images and include one of a select number of quotes. Derrick chose to use the quote, “Racing is 99& boredom and 1% terror” by Geoff Brabham, an Australian racing driver.

You can use a grid of your choice (2, 3 or 4 columns).

The heading reads ‘ New TV Sports Programme – ‘Sporting Quote, Unquote’ – this should be traced in.

There are four hundred words of copy, set in Baskerville typeface – indicated by ‘tramlines’ ‘emming’ or ‘rendered’ – size and leading to your choice.

One picture which should be traced in. The picture should have a caption.

A ‘BBC’ logo should appear somewhere on the newsletter.

All this should be hand rendered in pencil on white (layout) paper.
