Production Process Evaluation

ResearchWhat were the strengths of your research? • I was able to explain why the designer included the colours and why the layout was presented

that way, also why the designer put them type of fonts.• I had feedback from the questions I produced on the survey which is great because I was able to

get an idea on what my poster could look like, also it gave me more confidence because all people would notice it more due to the ideas on the rap poster of mine.

How did your research help your product?• From the questions I produced on the survey I was able to get an idea on what my poster could

look like, also it gave me a lot confidence because all people would notice it more due to the ideas on the rap poster of mine. It gave a insight into the profile of the audience who would be interested in my product.

What were the weaknesses of your research? • I didn’t do enough detail when talking about my audiences feedback and how would it appeal to

them and what it says.• I did not do many existing products because I did not manage my time well.• I did not complete it when I started it and now I have to complete it in a short period of time. What could you have done better/improve? • Detail- I think if I had made a schedule for my project, my research could have had more detail

and more existing products.• Layout – the layout for my research PowerPoint could be improved because it wasn’t well

presented.• Time management – I would make a schedule to be able to improve my work.What effect would this have had on your product?– This would of made a massive effect to my research PowerPoint.

PlanningWhat were the strengths of your planning? • There is loads of ideas.• The layout of the ideas on slide 2 of the PowerPoint is really good.• The detail of slide 5 on the PowerPoint is outstanding because there

is a lot of writing and surprised how much I wrote.• The mood board is really good because it includes the famous rap

artist today and artists that have changed my life from boring to awesome.

• The colours I chose for the rap poster idea is included in my production.

How did your planning help your product?• My planning guided me to what type of music I could use for my

poster.• My mood board also guided me on what artist to use on my poster,

so I chose Eminem because I Listen to his music a lot. What were the weaknesses of your planning? • When I started the PowerPoint I did not complete it straight away

instead I went on the next PowerPoint, so that means now I have a short period of time to complete it.

• I did not choose any fonts from my planning due to better fonts I found on www.dafonts.com.

• I rushed my planning What could you have done better/improve?• Make a schedule, this will lead to a better outcome.• Instead of using PowerPoint for my planning I should of used

www.bubbl.us because that website can make your planning more visible and have a better layout.

• Also whenever I start something I should finish it, not moving onto the next PowerPoint till I have finished the previous work. Also I did not complete my initial plans PowerPoint and moved onto the next piece of work and now I have to finish that in a small amount of time this has had a big effect on my project.

What effect would this have had on your product?• This will not just be a big effect if I put my improvements included in

the PowerPoint, it will make a huge effect.

Time Management

Did you manage your time well and did you complete your project on time? To be honest I did not manage my time well as I expected, this was because I did not make a schedule on what work I should do each day/week. Talking about schedules I didn’t have a schedule at the start of the project which has made my work not as I expected. Also I did complete my project on time but it involved me rushing it. Would your products have improved with additional time?Yes my products would of improved with additional time because I would of researched for more ideas to put on my RAP poster, this would have changed and improved my production. What would you have done if you had more time to produce your work?I would make a schedule on what day I would do a certain piece of work, for example the PowerPoints that needs completing the most I will do first and the other PowerPoints of work that is nearly complete I will do last because they are not as important as the PowerPoints that has loads of work missing.

Target Audience Appeal

How does your final product appeal to your target audience? Reference specific content

• Colour:The colours that I have chosen is perfect towards my audience, the reason why I know this because my age is within my target age range and I have knowledge of what colours my audience likes.

• Layout:The layout of my posters is perfect towards my audience especially the poster of mine that says RAP in big writing, the reason why I know this because a lot of posters that I have seen is very similar to my poster but mine is different because I have deleted the artists body and half of their face. Another reason why the layout of my RAP poster is perfect towards my audience because it tells you what the poster is about ( Title ), and tells you what the artists name are and finally it tells you the prices of an event coming up ( ISSUE 1 Poster )

• Fonts:The fonts that I have included in these RAP posters of mine fits perfectly with my audience and this is the reason below:• I said in my previous work that people who are

16yrs old to 21yrs old listen to RAP music, so

Aesthetic Qualities

Does your work look good? Was it creative?To be honest I think my RAP posters look good and creative because of the way of the style of the fonts fits with the style of the music ( Grabbing peoples attention). When I mean by grabbing peoples attention, for example using bold writing and making the colour of the writing stand out from the background. I like where I used a thick outline to grab peoples attention as well. And finally I like how I put images of artists into the thick writing because I have not seen any designers do that, so yes I think my RAP posters are good and creative.

Peer Feedback

Feedback 1

• What did you like about the product?This is outstanding! My fav bit is the ‘two-face’ poster showing one rap star in the first half and another rap star in the other half. Also, the posters with the photos of Snoop Dogg and Eminem within the letters is beyond my skills!

• What improvements could have been made to the product?

Can’t find any improvements on this, although the white stroke on the white poster is hard for anyone to see. Snoop Dogg’s face in the ‘two-face’ picture is a bit blurry.
