The Paradise Papers story coverage


The Paradise Papers story coverage









On Monday 6th November, the main headlines covered leaved documents revealing the financial details of the super rich. It outlined how many were allowed to keep money outside of the UK in order to avoid paying tax.

Both papers have presented the same story with completely different perspectives... this is due to their own different individual ideologies. For example, 'The Daily Mail' uses a particular choice of language in the headline such as 'dragged' which has negative connotations in order to portray the Queen as the victim in the situation. In comparison, The Guardian uses contrasting negative language to present the Queen such as 'exploiting' and 'controversial' which makes her appear like the perpetrator in this article. This is due to the fact that the Guardian is a left wing broadsheet newspaper which means they are critical of the Queen, unlike the views of the Daily Mail.









The Guardian focuses on the same issues that other news articles      may cover due to the fact they want to express their different news values and political ideology's. For example, The Guardians political allegiance is left leaning with a leadership largely split between labour and lib deb voters...this means that they may promote different views in their writing in comparison to other papers such as the Daily Mail who's political stance is Right leaning with traditionally conservative values. The Guardian spent a number of days publishing a series of articles focusing on the 'paradise papers' story... the colour yellow linked all of these papers together.

My Statement of Intent One of the most significant aspects about the products I'm producing is the fact that they are made ethically via fair-trade... this is why it is crucial that I showcase my brand as a contemporary company by not only focusing on the stylish and trendy pieces, but also the morally correct way they have been produced. I will be presenting and promoting my brand by displaying the clothing on the two billboards. Both of my billboards will follow a similar theme when promoting the different products

Promotional Photography

Promotional Photography- My Images 3) This first image portrays the artist to be a strong and confident individual as he is directly looking into the camera- this alters the mood and style of the shot in comparison to 'Shot 2' as it creates more intimacy with the viewer of the shot, almost as if he is looking directly at them.          2) This image taken shows my artist holding a guitar as a prop- this is significant as it links with the musical element and adds to the overall theme of creating music. It emphases his interest and dedication as an artist himself and matches the genre.   3) Unlike some of the other various images taken, this particular shot has been taken with much 'softer' lighting. This means it appears to be much more smooth and consistent with fewer shadows. This effect works well considering the artist is wearing a white top so it blends much better with the background. However, the colour of the guitar still breaks up the sho
