Statement of Intent

Production: Logos

The basic design of the show's logo. The logo is intended to appear as a radio tower and a microphone formed using the title's initials (On Air) due to the subject matter of podcasting found in the programme. This is also accentuated by the wireless signals emanating out of the text. The closed circle represents the concept that despite how hard the characters try with their show within the fiction, no one else is listening to them

Variations of the logo for use within the website, one is used for the program itself and the other for the original audio content. The pastel colour scheme reflects the website's aesthetic reinforcing the brand identity.

Production: Website Content

All Text Is Not Final And Subject To Change

A synopsis, menu bar, directions to access the content.

Frame for the key visual of the programme. Image still in the editing process, and will convey the ambience and character dynamics of the programme.

Episode Title and Content Player

Timeslot and content warning. Content warning follows the BBC Guidance Style (adult humour for mild language) found at http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/site/Guidance_labels_final.pdf

Example of cast bio. Hover boxes used to convey further information. The yellow box will include a portrait of the character - switches to pronouns when hovered over with cursor. This helps to strongly establish the two social groups that I seek to represent.

Audio content player

Cross-media convergence - users can submit questions to the characters within the programme. I will also a social media bar that can also be used in this manner

The pages displayed on the menu bar reflect the menu bars on some BBC websites, keeping with the house style.

Production: Website Aesthetics

The BBC house style for programme websites is largely utilitarian rather than centred around a specific aesthetic. However, since the purpose of my programme is to attract a new audience I have diverged from the house style and instead opted for a more friendly, youthful pastel colour palette with a welcoming sense created by bold and clear text spread across large screen real estate.

Production: Feedback on First Edit

The main takeaway upon the feedback I received from my peers was to reduce the amount of dead time between exchanges and the length of other audio such as sound effects and to create an overall faster pace. I intended for a sense of awkwardness due to the decontructive/parody nature of the program but I realise that it was in excess and came at the expense of the overall quality of the product.
The characters' names and the evidence of two different social groups were also a matter to address. The characters now explicitly refer to each other's names at the start and Alex's preference for they/them pronouns is also shown in the initial back-and-forth. I intend to make this aspect evident in the web pages as well
