Graphic Design Feedback and Feedforward

Draft Improvements

Here are some designs that I used my initial drafts to create on photoshop and illustrator.

Logo

A5 Flyer/ Magazine Advert

The empty space at the bottom is cleared for another picture that i haven't added yet.

Miss Allen suggested that I rearrange and increase the sponsors, add more festival venues, Increase the size of the Headliners text and move to the centre and apply information about tickets and contact details.

I have updated this piece based on my feedback and made it appear more cohesive with my other designs by using the same text styles and arranging.

I intend to finish my flyer and print it off for review by Miss Allen.

WHAT IS THE BRIEF?

My brief was to create a portfolio of marketing for a new-county wide music festival titled ‘Steel City Fest’. As part of this, I had to create 4 pieces of graphic design; a festival logo and slogan, ticket design, A5 flyer and a billboard poster for the purpose of marketing and advertisement. Following this, I had to present my design drafts to an audience while displaying a clear theme and providing essential information for the event. I will also be capturing artist photos for use on my promotional pieces, so I will require some models ad professional camera and editing equipment in order to do so.

WHO IS THE AUDIENCE?

The average demographic for attendees of the Steel City Fest will be predictably as follows:

v  60% Male to 40% Female

v  Mean Age of 25

KTA 6:
I will be designing the Logo, a ticket design, an A5 size flyer for the event and a billboard poster.
I have chosen to go for a range of closely related genre's; based around House and Electronic Dance Music style.

The average demographic for attendees of the Steel City Fest will be predictably as follows

• 60% Male to 40% Female
• Mean Age of 25
• Range of 18 - 31 years old

John Hartley (1987) suggested that media producers create 'invisible fictions' of their target audience.
Ien Ang (1991) similarly argued that all media producers create 'imaginary entities' of their target audience before creating a media product.

The average Steel City Fest Goer.
Jamie is 24 years old and has already been across the world to pursue the best festivals in the world. An avid lover of Electronica, House and Electronic House; he has partied in Ibiza annually ever since he has come of age, living for the experience while revelling in the new releases of his favourite artists and the awesome bass of deep house. While working in Superdry, he loves the atmosphere of D&B and House Music which boosts his confidence and enthusiasm when assisting customers. Jamie avidly checks Beatport to discover new tunes, while using iTunes to download all his music onto his iPod; he never leaves home without it. He doesn't have barrels of disposable income, but saves as much as possible to maximise fun in Ibiza, his annual holiday destination. When asked, he said apart from the music at festivals it had to be the lighting and effects that really catches his eye. Of course, he doesn't just attend by himself; Jamie and about 15 other of his University mates catch the party plane to Spain every summer. Just because he does Biology doesn't mean he doesn't know how to have a good time! His life dream is to dance at Tommorowland; the ultimate goal for many young people of his age. So, to sum up he loves alcohol, good music, themed festivals, friends and good music.
