Our Two Linked Products.

Our two Linked products are our print campaigns and our Documentary because we believe they will be the most appealing methods to our target audience. 

This is an example of our first print campaign. 



Our Second campaign is a video documentary focusing on why the land should be regenerated and demonstrates the target audience. 

Presentation and Class Feedback

Positive Feedback

Things to improve

Final Campaign Name, Logo and Slogan

We have decided to use the Name Regener8 because out of all the names with researched (e.g FreeSpace and Anti YOLO) we thought it had the correct balance between professional and serious and relate-able to teenagers.

The phone suits the Target Audience most because it is a desirable object to the teenagers rather than an older outdated phone or gadget. We chose to use a phone instead of another gadget because the phone represents the fact that teenagers are very social and this could also link to our social networking sites. 

We choice the slogan because it has brand continuity with the with our name and logo.

Final Target Audience

Our Target Audience is Teenagers. We want to regenerate Buffs Field park into a place designed to suit the interests and tastes of teenagers. Teenagers need their own space because they're to young to have their own house or flat but also to old to suitable for most community areas.  

While Avenue Park was recently regenerated with new playground equipment and a sports field but there is nothing appropriate for teenagers. Most teenagers in Baldock spend their free time at home, at cafes or at Tescos, this clearly shows the lack of community areas in Baldock. We would like to create a park specially for teenagers, with football and rugby equipment, new benches that aren't rotting and we'd like to refurbish the old on site building into changing rooms or a meeting room where youth clubs could meet. 

Our Target Audience are teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 because we received the most response from that age range on our social media pages. We don't have a particular gender in mind for our campaign because all teenagers need a place to spend their free time, also both genders could use the park in different ways. 


A majority of teenagers have social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr so we created accounts on all three of these websites so we could influence as many people as possible. 

Our Logo and first draft of one of our posters are clearly influenced by our target audience, we used an image of a smart phone to make the campaign more appealing to teenagers instead of an older, less attractive phone which teenagers wouldn't be appealed to. We will use teenagers in our documentary so our target audience can relate to the campaign and some we can use statistics and anecdotes which are accurate and relatable to most teenagers.

Final Campaign Idea

Our final campaign idea is to base our campaign around Buffs field in Baldock, it was once a very popular park for dog walkers, sports teams and in particularly teenagers. We would like to regenerate this area and transform it into a place suitable for teenagers by repairing the goal posts adding some benches, possibly adding a skatepark and regenerating the building on the field to be an events building that could be used for youth clubs, group meetings, sport changing rooms.







We will create social media pages in particular Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr so we can build awareness about the campaign, receive constructive criticism and feedback for our campaign.





We created a website for our campaign to put all of our information on and refer people to when they see our posters and documentary Click here to see Website













 We created a template for our posters with the basic design and then created a first draft of our first print campaign by adding the two main images and individual caption. 


We will also create a Documentary about Regeneration showing our goals, examples of our target audience and what we want to achieve from the campaign.
