The titles perspective can be adjusted within the poster to create a slight illusion giving the image more depth. This effect can be used on print or motion graphics on screen.

IMAGERYSE7EN should always produce original raw imagery that holds its audience. Images should show a bold statement about what the show is about and catch the eye of people who see the posters, billboards and ad shells.
EDITED IMAGERYTo strengthen the identity of SE7EN, images can be edited in certain ways to bring depth to the images. For instance glitches and scan lines can be added to certain images on print or in motion to bring a strong identity to SE7EN
Added glitch
Added scanlines
ON AIROn air, SE7EN must keep the identity of the brand as strong as it does off air. The glitches are used to gain awareness to what the audience is watching. The glitch is a bold statement for SE7EN and represents chaos in the ordinary.
When advertising shows that are to be aired on SE7EN, the ident must work around certain factors that stay the same within the channel.
SE7EN uses a strong angle throughout its advertisements to keep the identity apparent for its audience. Over the space of 7 seconds, this is how the screen would work. Finishing off with a
harsh angle that separates the text and image.
When screening what will be shown after a show, the same rules apply for the angling of the glitch. This rises from the bottom right and fills the screen partially. A white glitch
box then appearers which includes the shows for NOW NEXT & LATER. The glitches are all in motion with lines of colour or white extruding from the box.

IDENT
The ident is an important asset yo SE7EN’s visualy identity. It reflects the idea of the channel being unpredictable and damaged. In this case, the discoverery of a television
within a shrine glitching with the SE7EN logo onscreen is a powerful message about the channel and gives the audience a taste of what is in store.
The Ident style of the TV shrine can be applied to various different Idents within SE7EN using different imagery and odd situations. For example the shrine glitching in an empty room or an old hut would be strong variants. The soundtrack over the ident works well in
strengthening the idea of SE7EN and should stay consistent throughout.
OUTDOOR ADVERTISEMENTOutdoor advertisement plays a big role in raising awareness to SE7EN. This can be done in a range of ways and different advertising campaigns.
TYPOGRAPHIC
Sometimes words can create a more vivid image to what your trying to portray then an image can. In this instance a SE7EN typographic billboard campaign says more about the shows on SE7EN then certain images can. The shocking truth about some tribes can really spark controversy within the audience, which is just what SE7EN intends to do.
TYPE & IMAGE
Programme advertisement for SE7EN can be done in various ways to promote the shows. Here is an example of an ad
for NZAMBI, a show based on the Haitian zombie epidemic . The use of text and
image together works well in promoting the show and is visually pleasing.
GUERRILLAADVERTISEMENT
Guerrilla advertising can play a big role in the launch of SE7EN. Billboards and blank sides of buildings can work as the canvas to promote the channel. The glitch plays a strong part in verifying the identity of SE7EN. The side of this building is a great example of how SE7EN can raise awareness and develop a niche audience awareness.
