Final Name and Slogan








YOUTH 4 BALDOCK;

Why this name?
 Our group chose this name because it had both the name of the town we were regenerating in it, as well as the specific target audience in it. The 4 would make it shorter and also make it more playful. It stands out, it also gives the sense of enforcing the campaign, that it is only for the youth, it is to help and provide for them in a positive way. It also shows the aim of our campaign, without having to use the word 'regeneration'. This name is also clear and straight forward, meaning there would be little confusion about it and a simple name can either not be remembered, or it is so simple, it's easily rembered, for this name, we hope that it would be the latter.


'MAKE EVERY REGENERATION COUNT';

Why this slogan?
We chose this slogan because it was catchy and it sends a simple but good message. It's clear and states the purpose of the campaign. It's making our campaign already sound successful, letting people know that this regeneration will really mean something to the community and that it'll make it a better place. We thought that it sounded quite bold and could be remembered easily, because it's simple and would stand out.



 
Why this logo?
We decided on this logo, because the colours and the images relate to our target audience. The popocorn represents any movies, or cinematic type activities, and the headphones show other activties, like listening to music or gaming, which teenagers enjoy. The green is a neutral colour, it is not stereotypical of any gender, which shows that our youth club is aimed at both genders. The paint shows creativity and looks youthful, the circle shape shows that there is contuity in being together and being a community.

Logo Ideas and Evaluation


Logo Ideas and Evaluation


1. This logo has a very youthful design, the popcorn represents activities such as cinema type screening, and the headphones could represent gaming and music. These kind of things are enjoyed by teenagers, so it makes it attractive and appealing to them. The 'paint' style could give the appeal of creativity and freedom. The colours are mixed, the green is a colour that can suit both female and males. These colours would also be used in our any art work for our slogan and name, and the themes would be used on all forms of our media.



2. This logo is very simplistic, and has little colour. This could be a good thing because we can then put in any other colours we want in the other forms of media, including the website, poster and leaflets. The hand sign is something that would convey a helping hand, meaning support and friendship, the star symbol is something that an be very youthful, especially as this one has a sign of graffiti also. The peace sign is to show a calm and safe atmostphere. Although it has meaning, this design may not be remembered and wouldn't be noticed easily.





3. This design has a very friendly effect, a group of friends show the community that would be involved in the youth club. The fact they look young relates to our target audience. The fact that they are slightly drawn and look as if they have been painted makes it look very creative. The name of the campaign is there for people to see it easily. This design doesn't show activity or have many 'hidden' meanings and may look too childish for our target audience of 13-16. The font is 'Ignite the light' and it is handwritter, this relates the target to the target audience because it's writing.

Feedback Letter





From the feedback we have received, we will be more detailed in our next presentation about where our documentary will be shown, as we were not as clear about this in our first presentation. We have decided that we are going to create a TV advert/documentary that will be 2-3 minutes long. We are to regenerate the museum by doing up the outside by painting it and making it look generally nicer, we will also paint inside and use the separate rooms as different activities for the youth club; for example;e one room could have comfy chairs for sitting with friends and the other room could have a table tennis table or snooker table. We want the public to get involve by volunteering to help out with the regeneration, with painting and raising awareness.

Initial Ideas Sheet

Initial Thoughts

Answer

Explanation

Who I might work with?



Megan Byfors, Megan Webster and Georgina Paulus Nield

They're the same age and in the same class and have their own good traits that each would benfit the group.

Chosen area to campaign for.

Baldock Museum.







It is unused and becoming quite derelict. We feel it could be much more useful with another thing.

Local campaign – how does this place affect the area.

It affects it because no one in the community goes in the musuem and hardly anyone knows when or if it's open or that it's even there.


We think we can make it somewhere that people know about and people will want to be involved in.

Media Form 1: Briefly outline your campaign ideas – name, slogan, audience, form etc

FACEBOOK PAGE
Youth Club in Baldock Musuem once it has been regenerated.
Name; Regenerating Baldock Museum.
Slogan; Make every regeneration count.
Audience; Age range of 13-16year olds.
Forms; Something people can join or like, and it's open for comments and pictures etc. can be added.

This is a good form for our specific target audience because the use of social media would get teenagers inolved very quickly and they could see it with just the click of a button. It is stereotypical that teenagers are on these sites a lot and a facebook page is easy to set up and post on.

Media Form 2: Briefly outline your campaign ideas – name, slogan, audience, form etc

SHORT FILM
Name; This is renegerating Baldock.
Slogan; Make every regeneration count.
Audience; This is again for 13-16year olds, but others younger or older could take a look. Parents of kids can see why it is good for their kids to begin to attend the youth club.
Form; It would be a documentary, maybe with a few actors, to walk around and point out parts of our regeneration in Baldock.

A short film is good for our campaign because it hs more detail and views than any other form. It can also be posted on social media sites such as Youtube and on the Facebook page as well.

How these 2 forms are integrated (vital for higher marks)

These are integrated because they can both be posted in the same way and for the right target audience. The video can be posted on the Facebook page and also on otyher social media sites, and have the same amount of interest each.







Intergrating these two forms of media is good because it can really give a good range of detail within the campaign. Although leaflets and newspaper ads are also important, these are the most accessible to our target audience, so together they are well integrated.

Intended target audience

13-16 year olds.









This is the range of teenagers, but not too young and not passed the age that is too 'adult' for what the youth club is about.

Why this campaign suits them.

They can easily hang around with friends in a safe and happy environment.





In Baldock there isn't many places to go, so there would be security for parents and for the kids themselves. Although not many teens are intimidated in Baldock, some of the older generation are, so giving them somewhere to go would be good for the community.

Any other ideas or comments to make

We can get the community involved in helping to renegerate the museum, which could bring the community closert together and be friendlier towards each generation.

These were our initial ideas for places we could regenerate in Baldock.

Final Ideas

Final Campaign Idea:

Our final campaign idea is to turn the current Baldock Museum into a Youth Club. After conducting two surveys we found that both the average public of Baldock and the teenagers who live here thought that Baldock would benefit from a Youth Club, due there only being one that currently runs in Baldock however this one is a Christian Youth Club and we felt that it excluded many people who may wish to attend a Youth Club but felt they couldn't due to not being Christian. Another reason we chose the museum as our venue for the Youth Club is because the museum is very underused and we thought that we can change this by re-developing the space and turning it into a Youth Club.


Final Campaign Target Audience:

Our final campaign target audience is 13-16 year olds We have chosen this range as out target audience because we think they are not too young but they have also not passed the age that is seen as too 'adult' for a Youth Club. From the people we asked in our targeted survey we found that they mainly between the ages of 13-16 and said that if a Youth Club was an option for them to go to then they would attend.

Survey - Target Audince

Our second survey was aimed directly at our target audience which we decided would be teenagers. We thought teenagers would be the best target audience as we are all teenagers ourselves so can easily relate to what they want and what they need. It also means that the we will be most suited to using appropriate language and methods of promotion that we know teenagers will see.
In this survey we asked more direct questions about where people 'hung out' and spent their free time. We also asked whether they felt Baldock would benefit from having a youth club that wasn't strictly Christian and whether they would attended the youth club.

This survey was aimed at a general audience and we asked questions to find out if they agreed Baldock needed a youth club and whether they would participate in the regeneration of an area to do this.
