An Idiot Abroad Print Reasearch

An Idiot Abroad print

A poster showing the channel it is on and who the main character and what it is about. It also has a website so the audience can find out more information. The title tells the audience that the man on the poster is an idiot. The character has a stupid look on his face and is dressed casually. It reinforces the audience’s perception of the person on the poster as an idiot. That also means that there will be comedy in the TV show. It shows him abroad in Egypt in front of the pyramids not looking very happy being in a place where many people go to enjoy a holiday. It makes it look like he is out of his comfort zone. The audience will find that funny because it looks like he does not enjoy travelling abroad and will struggle with it.

It is a simple design so it is easy to look at and understand. Our poster will also be simple so the audience do not get too confused about what is going on.

Ross Noble will be hosting his own show on Dave titled Freewheeling. The show is described as an anti travelogue around Britain. Noble takes the freestyle philosophy he embraces in his live shows and utilizes his trademark audience participation gimmick and transfers it to television as he rides around the UK on his motorbike.
