Style Sheet – Colour Schemes Analysis
I think the choice of colours used are highly important in any product and one of the biggest factors when it comes to somebody
paying attention to something, this is because the language of colour is communicated to the brain much quicker in comparison to
the use of images or shapes and words as they evoke a direct emotional response on people's feelings and emotions. The colour
schemes I will use for my website are likely to be the same colour schemes I use throughout my production however on this
website I will probably use a wider range of colours as there will be more room for variety, and there are a lot of colours
assosciated with the club that my website will be representing. The primary colour of this website will be red for multiple reasons.
First of all and most importantly it is the primary colour of Liverpool FC, the club which my website is going to be dedicated to, and
all existing products assosciated with the club have always used this as a main colour scheme so people viewing this will assosciate
it with the club immediately. This will mean that they expect to see a Liverpool FC based content outlet use red as their primary
colour. Not only does the use of this colour have an element of some sort of sentimental value in a way, as I just explained. But it
is also a very aesthetically pleasing colour and is eye catching and draws people's attention quickly, it is a colour often used in
advertising as it triggers stimulation and and attracts attention. Red also elicits connotations on an emotional point of view such
as love and passion, and it is also the colour of fire, which can also give it the assosciation of energy and strength. These
connotations may subconsciously appeal to Liverpool fans as they are a group of fans famed for their burning pasion for their
support of the club, and coming together to get behind the team which futher strengthens the reasoning behind my choice of
using this colour. The secondary colour that I am initially planning on using to compliment the red is a yellow/gold type colour. First
of all this is another one of the colour's assosciated with the club and features on areas of the player's shirts and on the badge as
well as on merchandise and memorabillia of the club. It also compliments the use of the red well and as a combination they can
look aesthetically pleasing together and stand out futher. Yellow is also quite a positive colour and is associated with feelings of
optimsm and happiness in general, and in a club like Liverpool who aim to compete for the verybest, optimism from the fans is
needed, and also if there is a suggestion of happiness it will apear to be a place where fans may want to look at for positivity and
get away from negative fans.

Style Sheet – Colour Schemes Analysis- continued
I am also looking at the possibility of including the use of the 'Persian green' colour and in general I will use white anyway so I
thought I should add that to the style sheet. In terms of the use of the Persian green, that is a colour that has featured on the
club's badge and has been on previous kits, although it is not as common nowadays. In my opinion it still looks fairly aesthetically
pleasing and I may add it on the website with it having a minor role, however it would only be used if I can make it work alongside
the other colours, it could potentially be used as a shape as part of the design on the page or alternatively as a stroke to highlight
something. As for the white, that could potentially be used on some areas of text such as the parts of the navigation menu as it is
clear and easy to read and it won't contrast the other colours too much and I think it works well on previous existing products I
have researched.
Although It is largely going to be the same use of colours in terms of the primary colours, for the other designs I create, I may stick
to using less of them and eeping it more simple. For example I am going to mainly just use a red,white and yellow/gold colour
scheme, and the green will probably not feature again. I have already justified the use of these colours above but I am also going
to elaborate on how these colours will be used. Firstly, with the red I want that to be the main colour that people notice and to be
a large part of each of the products I am going to create, I will probably use this to be the colour of the graphics itself in the
products, and maybe as the text, depending on how I have used the other colours. With the yellow/gold colour, I am going to use
that as either a stroke on a lot of things, particularly around something that is red. I also plan to feature the liver bird on the logo
for my podcast, and I want that to be the yellow/gold colour. The text on the podcast graphic logo will probably be white or black,
with the opposite colour being the stroke to highlight the text. As for my articles I will stick to just using a black font for the text,
unless there is an image behind the article and I need to use white to make it stand out. The title of the article's are also likely to
just be simple and in black or white, depending on the background of the article. The reason for this is because the title needs to
be clear and stand out easily and these colours will help do that.

Style sheet Images Analysis
• The images I have collected are largely in relation to logos, mainly for a podcast, however I also have looked at potential
images of logos for similar products. In terms of the podcast logos I have looked at, I have took a lot of inspirtation from
them and there are lots of elements combined in all of them I want to include. For example something I have noticed a lot
of is how quite regularly, a podcast mic is used within the logo, to obviously represent how it is an added feature of the
brand. The influence this has on me is that when it comes to creating my own product, I will try add a podcast mic in the
logo. Something else I have realised is how they often use the logo that already is the brand's logo, and at the most only
make a minor adaptation to it, such as adding something like a podcast mic or headphones. This is something I plan to also
do in my own work, as I want to maintain a consistent style so the logo can become recognisable, as I think this is better
than having different logos on different products, espescially if you want to make a lasting impression. Something else
which appeared to be popular on these podcast images was the use of a square logo. Although this seemed fairly popular, I
doubt I will also use this as I plan on making my logo in thw shape of a circle, and as I mentioned, I don’t want to keep
changing my logo around. The other types of images I analysed was similar logos of footballing online outlets to what I want
to make. I chose to not be general and only focus on Liverpool related ones, as this would specifically help me and is
directly related to my product. The most obvious theme in common with these products was the use of the colour red.
Every product more or less used red, this is obviously because it is the club's colours. It was interesting to see the variety of
shades of red, with some using a bright red and some using a darker tone. When I create my own product I am going to opt
to use the darker shade of red. Not only does it obviously have the connotations with the club, but it is also aesthetically
pleasing and has deeper connotations such as what can be associated with the colour red, as I have previously mentioned
in my colour style sheets. Another common theme with this was how the logos were often circles, I think this looks
aesthetically pleasing so it is a style I will try use. It is also because it represents the style of a football club's badge, which
works well for a football fan page.

Style Sheet Font/Text analysis
For the fonts I have looked into potentially using, one of the common themes I have considered is the use of a clear,
bold, sans serif font. I have thought about using this style of font as it will be used through various products and if I find
one specific one which I really like it could potentially be used as the 'Kop Online' text throughout all the products I
create. Out of some of those fonts I have looked at there, ' The Next font' was the style which appealed to me the
most, as I thought it was aesthetically pleasing, but it also is very effective in the sense it is immediately eye catching
and stands out, also the use of a bold font highlights that the text in bold is of high importance and shows that it is the
most important information. I also think that one of the most important factors of text, particularly if it is a headline or
the main body of text is its readability. When using a bold font one of it's key aspects is that it makes it very readable
and even stands out from longer distances, also people are more likely to make a decision to do something when the
font is easeir to read and direct. Another positive aspect of using a bold font is because my target audience leans quite
heavily towards the male audience, and generally 'masculine' fonts can be characterised as being large and bold. For
example the end of letters on bold fonts uses quite strong and solid serifs, as can be seen in the example in the top
right corner. The use of maybe a few different bold fonts will be used on my website for the website name, and maybe
as the titles of each section on the navigation menu also. I am also considering using a bold font for the text on the
podcast logo I create, as well as the logo I create to represent 'Kop Online' in general. When I create articles I will also
use a bold and clear font for the headings and sub- headings, this is because they need to be clear and send a message
directly as this is ideally what I would expect someone to view first, so I need a bold font to highlight this piece of text
to quickly explain what the article is about, which will make the viewer want to read the text more. I also plan on using
a very basic default font such as 'Arial' for the actual written content in my article as I think that is conventional of all
articles and also it is effective as it is simple and easy to read and that's all that really matters when it comes to
somebody reading an article.

Layout plan logo summaries
After looking at the various possibilities for the logo, I have made quite a few conclusions. First of all for the standard
logo of the brand 'KopOnline' as a whole I will go for the circle style for a few reasons. First of all I think it is quite a
clever design as it is in the shape of a football, which subconsciously associate with the sport in people's heads
hopefully. Also it is a style I have seen used on other football content creator's logos and a style I think that works
well. With that being said I did also like the shield design but I'm fairly sure I will opt to use the circle style. As for
some of the features on it, I aim to use the red colour for the connotations of Liverpool football club I have already
discussed in detail. I also think it is an aesthetically pleasing and eye catching colour. I intend on using a slightly darker
shade of red though as I don't really like the bright red styles as they are too bright and don't look great visually and
put me off products, so I would not wan other people to also get that feeling. I also intend to use the feature of a
yellow/ gold stroke around the circle as well as using the 5 stars to represent the club's European history. The podcast
logo will be the exact same style following the same oclour schemes in order to maintain consistency, however the
only difference will be I will add something like above such as a podcast mic or headphones to represent it is a
podcast and an additional piece of content.
Lastly with the website and article designs, they are all fairly similar and quite hard to visualise and make as a concept
on here as they look very basic, I will look at some of these designs and roughly try to emulate their style potentially,
but I think as I create the website I will more than likely follow the style of an existing website. One thing about the
websites I definitely intend on is making sure one of the most visible things that first stands out is the website name
as well as the use of the colour red.

Locations
• There is a variety of locations which I may need to go to as part of my product. Firstly, if I include images of Anfield, I would
ideally take them myself. This would include going to Liverpool. As I go to games there regularly anyway the most likely
method of my travel would be to get the supporters coach I use. The fee of this is £10 for there and back on top of the
price for the ticket, but I go when I am going to a game anyway so I would plan to go to take any images when I know I am
going for a match anyway. If I was unable to get the coach, or I just went to get images, the train would cost around £30.
One of the ways that an issue could occur preventing me is that if there was a weather related issue, preventing me from
being able to get there due to a cancellation of trains. Or a train could be delayed for whatever reason, meaning I miss the
game, or the coach to take me to a game. Another location I will need access to is the college studio. This should not be
too difficult as I go to college 3 days a week anyway. I would need to access the studio as a potential place to record my
podcast. I would need to make sure that I can book the studio as well as it's equipment so it is accessible. In order to make
sure I would definitely have the studio available I would book it at least a week in advance. The distance to Anfield is
approximately 2 hours and 7 minutes. This means I would have to thoroughly check the train times and coach times and
make sure I go even earlier incase the last train is late or cancelled. In terms of getting to college I would get the college
bus the same time as usual in the morning. If that was cancelled for unforeseen reasons I would have to make sure I have
an alternative way of getting to the recording location, such as getting a lift with a friend.

Potential finances
• Price of website domain - £30 p/y
• Mic/ mic stand for podcast - £13/ borrow from college if available
• Editing software – free at college
• Photoshop – free at college
• Laptop/phone to record podcast – already owned
• Headphones- Can use ones already available
• Audacity – free download

Personnel/crew
• In terms of the personnel and crew I will be using it will be fairly straight forward. I will only need one person
to help me with the podcast I am filming and I already have arrange to create the podcast with my friend
Tom. I have chosen Tom for a variety of reasons. One of them being that he too is a Liverpool fan and will be
able to offer some knowledgeable insight to the podcast, additionally, he does not shy away from a debate
and will make the podcast more interesting to listen to.
• Conversely, in the case Tom is suddenly available I will host the podcast alongside my other friend, Jude.
Although he supports a different team this would still work well as the rivalry would add a more intense
dynamic to the podcast in my opinion.
• If absolutely nobody was available, worst comes to worst I would record the podcast myself just discussing
my own views and opinions that are topical at that time.
Lastly, I will also have one other friend named Tom helping me, as he will be doing the voice over effect for the
into of my podcast too give it a more professional style and he has a good voice for that type of thing.

Facilities
• In terms of facilities for any personnel helping, we will use everything already provided at college. Toilet
facilities are available spread around all over college and anyone helping on the podcast would be advised to
go before we create the podcast. I will also use the college studio facility to record the podcast as it is an
ideal location close to the classroom as well as the fact it is in a fairly quiet location and will have a low
chance of someone coming in to interrupt it as it will be pre booked and if I did change to record it with a
camera, the facilities in their such as the lighting are at a professional standard.
