Pitch

My poster for my fair trade fashion brand will relate to fair trade with the brand name, slogan and the logo. On the actual poster there will be a blank background, to keep it simple and not over complicate things. The profits made from the products made will go to the farmers that helped make these products. My brand name ' égalité' which is French for 'equality' which is what fair trade is all about so this then relates to what this fashion brand is about. My slogan is 'fair trade is the fashion revolution' as a lot of brands are associated with fair trade and if they're not then the brands are making a change into being fair trade and that's where the 'fair trade is the fashion revolution.'

Statement of Intent

The location of the two posters are: one in the underground stations and then another one in the train stations. The reason why I have chosen these locations is because typically a majority of the people that are in my age range for my posters typically travel a lot so to put the posters in these

Professional fragrance advert such as 'Sauvage' and 'Paco Rabanne' show strength of the male kind and shows men that other men want to be and partners want their boyfriend or husband to be.  The positives of the advert is that we have the main visual image and the actual product on the advert, we also have
