Main activity

Production and broadcast of audiovisual products.Televisió de Catalunya, S.A., is the company that manages the public television channels of Catalonia. It was set up in 1983 with the main aim of contributing to the linguistic and cultural normalisation of Catalonia and is today the main communication medium in the land and a reference channel for a great majority of its citizens. The model for Televisió de Catalunya is inscribed in Europe’s public TV channels and its programming is based on the very principles of a public medium, which are commitment to social and democratic values, pluralism and serving citizens.

Research to carry out

What is proposed is a review of the work processes and methodologies in the graphics department of TV3 in the field of the audiovisual production material that is broadcast by its own channels, in the aim of triggering a development of the visual construction strategies of its applied graphic image.

02.12.08: NEW INFORMATION!

The audiovisual design department of TV3 has the following objectives:
- Transmit the ideology of the channel and brand attributes
- Assume the audiovisual identity of the channel and its programmes
- Participate in the post-production of programmes: infography

The workings of the department is based on two diverse dynamics according to the type of programme. In general terms, the work is based on individual commissions that are carried out consecutively and lineally. The work’s guidelines are set at each moment of its development by the specialised professionals who periodically intervene in the project. In the case of the news programmes, where the aim is the production of accompanying infography (maps, statistics, graphics, etc), the dynamic is focused on teamwork in which journalists, directors, graphic designers, infographic technicians and editors will intervene.

The department team is made up of graphic designers, infographic technicians, character operators and editors.

Team to collaborate with artists

The department with which the artist will collaborate is that of Image Direction and Artistic Services (graphic design). The entire department team will be involved in the project.

The people responsible will be: Manel Manzanas (Head of Training and Development) and Pauli Subirà (Head of Image and Artistic Services).

Exploitation of result

Option D: the exploitation rights fall to the host body, without added remuneration for the artist in the event that the result is marketed. In all cases the artist/s may use the results of the investigation for artistic purposes, that is to say, within the context of the production of works in limited edition or, if digital reproduction media are used, for diffusion in such a way that it does not imply any competition with their commercial use by the host body.
