Chosen Poster
Aims and Objectives
The aims of the Reading poster is to advertise the festival to those who
would be more likely to want to go. The colours used is red, yellow and
white. These colours allow the poster to stand out while still looking
professional and legitimate. The colours are vibrant and exciting, this reflects
the atmosphere that the organisers at Reading festival wants to create.
Each artist uses their own font and style, if that is part of their brand. For
example, twenty one pilots, Dave, Bastille and others are all in their usual
style, this is because they are recognised for this. Other artists like Juice
Wrld, Charli XCX and Lil Uzi Vert are written in a universal, clear to read font.
The poster is split into the days and stages, this can be confusing to start
understanding. There are five different stages that all have different artists
playing throughout the festivals weekend.

Target Audience – Theories
Hartley
• There is no real specific gender that Reading Festival targets their
audience to, this is because it is not specifically feminine or
masculine. It tries to be a non-gender specifying festival.
• The age range that Reading targets the festival to, is the youth. 57% of
the audience in 2013 were aged between 16 and 19, 24% were
between 20 and 24, and 7% were between 25 and 29.
• The class specifically aimed at would generally be students and
younger adults who are not in serious employment. This is so the
festival has a youthful atmosphere to it.
Representation
This is the “ways in which the media portrays particular groups,
communities, experiences, ideas, or topics from a particular ideological
or value perspective.”
In festival images and posters men and women are portrayed as
enjoying themselves in the summertime, mainly wearing shorts and
either shirtless of wearing cropped tops. The artists usually bring their
own style to their set and are portrayed s the main attraction of the
entire advertisement.

Method
Tickets will be on sale 23 November 2018,
this is a good time for tickets to be released,
as it is before Christmas. This means that
tickets can be brought as Christmas gifts to
friends and family. By doing this, it creates a
sense of excitement about the festival and a
want for the tickets as a present.
The advertisements are posted and released
a while before the tickets go on sale,
therefore becoming an effective selling
strategy, as the excitement can be allowed to
grow before the tickets actually get released.
Audio-Visual Advertisements

trailers, countdown to announcements
and announcement videos.
https://www.facebook.com/pg/OfficialReadingFe
stival/videos/?ref=page_internal
Aims and Objectives
The aims of the videos was to create knowledge and awareness that
Reading Festival was going to return in 2019. The first main video was
an announcement teaser, this was posted on November 14, 2018. This
allows their target audience to forward plan and be aware of the
festival in the next year.
The headliners were posted 7 days later, in a short 11 second video.
This small video only included 4 artists with an addition of ‘plus many
more’, to increase excitement of the festival artists. At the end of the
video it tells the audience that tickets can be brought from Friday (2
days after).

This shows how different genders are portrayed. The men
are wearing more clothes and jackets where the woman is
wearing a lace top. This is showing that both men and
women enjoy Reading Festival as they both look happy and
enjoying themselves.

Comparison
Similarities:
The colours used are the same, this keeps the consistency of the
advertisements. This means that the advertisements can be linked
together and shown as one united advertisement for Reading Festival.
Differences:
The font and style of the artists names are different. In the poster, the
artists were written in their unique font and capitalisation, however, in
the video advertisements the artists are written in the same font, same
size, and all in block capitals. While this can make them stand out more,
it can reduce the uniqueness of the artists slightly.
