Layout Design

• This third of the layout is dominated by the Channel 4 logo, thus making it stand out.

• The text the name of the show and the time is in the bottom right hand corner.

Content

• Apart from the name of the programme the image also suggests that it will involve children.

• The image also implies the idea of children disappearing (swallowed by the ground) thus they are “forgotten”

• Her facial expression implies she is in danger and distress.

• Text reveals the name of the programme, what it will be about and the day it will be on.

• The recognisable logo indicates what channel the show will be on.

• The channel 4 website is also displayed.

Style of font

• Standard black coloured font is used to display information.

• This is surrounded by a white bow to make it stand out to the reader.

• The font is not chunky or bold, but still eye-catching because of the contrast of black and white with the background.

• The white box matches the colour of the logo.

Graphics & Photo manipulation

• The people walking around have been blurred to emphasise the idea of them being negligent to match the title.

• The colour has been manipulated to have a grey tinge to highlight the seriousness of the topic in question.

• The ground has been manipulated and edited to appear as if it is pulling the child in.

• This is to enforce the idea of children being “Forgotten”.

• The second piece of information most visible is the text bow informing the audience of the name of the programme and the date it will be shown.
