Task 9!

15
Evaluation Are the final pieces fit for purpose? The purpose was to design a range of products to promote awareness of key environmental issues and the organisation Surfers Against Sewage. This was achieved in the production process, as all the pieces were part of a fresh set of ideas that aimed to entice a much younger, enthusiastic audience. If the purpose was to raise awareness to all the issues the client had campaigns for then, yes it was achieved and the designs are fit for the purpose. Evidence to support this. In order to determine whether the pieces are of the standard set by the client or if they promote the same issues surrounding the concerns campaigned for, it is important to compare and contrast the existing work with that I created. On the left is the current, existing logo by Surfers Against Sewage. On the right hand side is the one created for the client in the production process lasting four weeks. Do they still keep to the same colours? Yes, the blue, which reflects the ocean, has been kept intact. Is there the name of the organisation in a house style font, which can be replicated in other pieces of production? Yes, the Surfers Against Sewage text was not used underneath the logo when placed on products such as merchandise. Instead it was used in the membership form to show professionalism through consistency. Similarities. Was the original idea to incorporate the eye and wave again? No, I first wanted to create a logo where an eye was trapped in a jar. The tears from the eye were meant to lead to the waves surrounding it. It was seen as something very technical and aesthetically pleasing. However, when putting the idea into production it did not look fit for purpose or professional enough.

Transcript of Task 9!

Evaluation        Are  the  final  pieces  fit  for  purpose?      The  purpose  was  to  design  a  range  of  products  to  promote  awareness  of  key  environmental  issues  and  the  organisation  Surfers  Against  Sewage.      This  was  achieved  in  the  production  process,  as  all  the  pieces  were  part  of  a  fresh  set  of  ideas  that  aimed  to  entice  a  much  younger,  enthusiastic  audience.    If  the  purpose  was  to  raise  awareness  to  all  the  issues  the  client  had  campaigns  for  then,  yes  it  was  achieved  and  the  designs  are  fit  for  the  purpose.      Evidence  to  support  this.    

 In  order  to  determine  whether  the  pieces  are  of  the  standard  set  by  the  client  or  if  they  promote  the  same  issues  surrounding  the  concerns  campaigned  for,  it  is  important  to  compare  and  contrast  the  existing  work  with  that  I  created.    On  the  left  is  the  current,  existing  logo  by  Surfers  Against  Sewage.  On  the  right  hand  side  is  the  one  created  for  the  client  in  the  production  process  lasting  four  weeks.      Do  they  still  keep  to  the  same  colours?  Yes,  the  blue,  which  reflects  the  ocean,  has  been  kept  intact.  Is  there  the  name  of  the  organisation  in  a  house  style  font,  which  can  be  replicated  in  other  pieces  of  production?  Yes,  the  Surfers  Against  Sewage  text  was  not  used  underneath  the  logo  when  placed  on  products  such  as  merchandise.  Instead  it  was  used  in  the  membership  form  to  show  professionalism  through  consistency.    Similarities.  Was  the  original  idea  to  incorporate  the  eye  and  wave  again?      No,  I  first  wanted  to  create  a  logo  where  an  eye  was  trapped  in  a  jar.  The  tears  from  the  eye  were  meant  to  lead  to  the  waves  surrounding  it.  It  was  seen  as  something  very  technical  and  aesthetically  pleasing.      However,  when  putting  the  idea  into  production  it  did  not  look  fit  for  purpose  or  professional  enough.    

                     

 As  you  can  see  it  is  not  visually  appealing  like  the  final  piece.  I  feel  without  going  through  this  process  of  over  complicating  the  logo  design,  I  would  not  have  realised  the  slickness  of  the  simplicity.    It  was  not  just  the  jar  that  made  it  look  less  appealing,  the  colour,  eye  and  representation  of  the  client’s  organisation.  Here  having  ‘SAS’  in  tear  drops  and  a  plain  font  made  the  organisation  look  bland  and  nothing  special.    In  stark  contrast  the  final  design  uses  a  bright  shade  to  strike  a  vibrant  look  to  Surfers  Against  Sewage.      This  is  much  more  fit  for  purpose  as  it  is  using  the  same  ideas  but  presents  it  in  a  clever  way.  This  shows  the  thought  process.  I  realised  that  the  logo  was  to  be  used  in  other  products  and  needed  to  be  smaller.      Would  the  first  design  stand  out  when  made  smaller?  No,  it  is  for  this  reason  I  cut  the  unnecessary  parts  off.  I  used  brighter  colours  and  took  the  negativity  off  the  full  logo.    The  eye  was  made  to  a  much  more  professional  looking  standard.  It  was  based  on  looked  at  through  research  and  created  entirely  on  Photoshop.              The  logo  had  a  week  spent  on  it  to  make  sure  it  was  good  enough  to  be  used  on  other  products  created  later  in  the  4-­‐week  process.      

 

When  exploring  the  possible  merchandise  I  could  create  I  looked  into  the  popular  and  most  common,  t-­‐shirt.  Again,  in  order  to  know  if  the  work  was  fit  for  purpose  I  had  to  research  into  existing  products  from  the  client.      This  way  it  would  be  a  safe  approach  as  there  would  be  a  strong  chance  the  client  would  approve.  I  did  not  want  to  copy  previous  designs  as  it  was  made  clear  the  organisation  was  in  desperate  need  of  fresh  ideas  and  designs  they  could  use.  I  just  wanted  to  base  an  idea  of  something  already  created.      Simplicity  was  the  word  looked  at  most  in  terms  of  the  original  target  audience.      Using  the  logo  on  the  products  made  it  very  clear  and  simple.  It  did  not  over  complicate  the  merchandise.      I  explored  different  ways  of  presenting  the  logo,  whether  it  was  through  a  campaign  used  in  the  poster  creation  of  #WaveAwayWaste  or  just  a  clear  and  lighter  logo  across  the  full  t-­‐shirt.  

 

     These  shirts  above  were  two  of  several  designs  created  in  task  8.  The  simple  design  of  the  logo  on  the  shirt  was  not  by  chance,  it  was  judged  to  be  the  best  out  of  many  designs.    

 As  well  as  the  vibrant  selection  of  shirts  I  created,  I  wanted  to  produce  a  selection  of  merchandise.      I  the  planning  stages  I  had  decided  on  just  three  products.  Headwear,  badges  and  stickers  and  a  shirt.      After  exploring  Ripcurl,  a  Surfing  merchandise  brand  I  realised  the  possibilities  were  endless.      

The  phone  case  was  something  I  did  not  look  at  in  depth  before  the  production  process,  however  after  exploring  existing  merchandise  aimed  at  the  Surfing  community  I  realised  that  it  would  be  perfect  for  the  young  audience  looked  upon.    Instead  of  badges  and  stickers,  which  offer  less  value  to  the  customer,  having  a  much  more  visually  pleasing  piece  would  entice  the  people  more.    Along  with  the  iPod  or  Phone  case,  I  printed  the  design  created  from  the  logo  onto  a  variety  of  merchandise.    

 This  was  to  cover  all  bases  and  make  sure  everyone  was  looked  into.  Using  RedBubble.com  to  import  the  designs  in,  I  was  able  to  place  them  on  a  pillow,  a  travel  mug,  a  cup  and  a  bag.    This  covered  all  ages.  As  the  merchandise  was  to  be  used  on  the  membership  form  for  the  ‘Perks  of  Membership’  it  was  important  to  include  something  of  value.    When  looking  at  the  merchandise  created  I  would  say  that  the  work  is  all  fit  for  purpose.  Would  they  all  be  used  as  part  of  the  merchandise  collection?  Yes.  They  use  the  logo  and  show  a  professional  standard.      The  poster  was  again  something  I  wanted  to  keep  in  tact  with  the  client’s  current  theme.  The  reasons  for  keeping  to  the  same  look  were  so  they  could  use  the  existing  pieces  and  possibly  these  I  have  created.      During  the  research  process  I  realised  that  the  ‘Beach  Clean’  had  been  used  on  several  coactions.  This  was  something  I  wanted  to  replicate  but  add  fresh  look  to      it.      

 When  looking  into  the  existing  pieces  I  found  that  they  didn’t  have  enough  information  or  it  was  not  clear  enough.    

In  my  design  I  made  it  keep  to  the  style  already  created  and  make  it  more  interesting.  I  felt  that  in  order  to  attract  new  members,  and  young  ones  of  that,  I  had  to  include  images  of  what  existing  members  had  done.      The  previous  Beach  clean  posters  did  not  have  information  and  they  were  too  bright,  I  wanted  to  add  a  small  piece  of  negativity  to  the  work.  Using  a  dark  green  background  adds  the  nature  and  environment,  however  makes  the  audience  aware  of  the  issue.  The  previous  beach  clean  was  made  to  look  too  exciting  and  this  could  be  seen  to  gloss  over  the  serious  issues.        Using  the  darker  fonts  and  having  it  well  structured  showed  the  professionalism  and  therefore  made  it  fit  for  purpose.      

 The  final  poster  was  not  created  in  one  attempt,  in  there  were  over  10  different  creations  made  in  the  one  week  of  poster  creation.    During  this  process  I  explored  various  colours  and  shades  as  well  as  the  compositional  features.      I  experimented  with  shapes  and  the  position  of  the  logo.      It  was  by  going  through  this  process  I  got  to  a  design  I  felt  

was  suitable  to  both  the  client  and  audience.      The  reasons  I  feel  the  poster  is  fit  for  purpose  is  that  there  is  not  one  feature  that  isn’t  in  something  of  a  professional  comparison.      

                   

 The  sponsor  has  been  incorporated  in  the  final  poster,  the  date  and  all  the  required  information  are  included  and  I  have  added  additional  features  to  make  it  look  of  the  standard  set.  In  other  designs  I  have  tried  to  use  too  many  colours  for  the  text.  Looking  at  this  above,  it  keeps  to  clear  shades.  This  can  be  much  

more  professional.  The  poster  covers  all  the  areas  looked  at  in  a  poster.  Where,  what  it  is  and  how  you  can  help.  It  uses  social  media  to  connect  to  another  poster  I  have  created  and  relate  to  the  young  audience  targeted.    

 Before  I  started  creating  the  Beach  clean  posters  I  looked  into  a  design  and  idea  I  came  up  in  the  planning  stages  before  production.    #Wave  AwayWaste.      After  exploring  various  campaigns  Surfers  Against  Sewage  had  created,  in  particular  the  ‘Break  The  Bag  Habit’  I  realised  that  I  should  at  least  attempt  to  do  something  similar  and  use  social  media  to  create  an  online  poster  as  well  as  a  paper  hand  out  for  the  beach  clean.    The  reason  behind  it  was  to  add  fresh  life  into  the  organisation.  The  beach  clean  was  something  already  thought  through  by  the  

client  and  they  hired  me  to  create  something  exciting  and  new.      I  looked  at  the  existing  ‘Break  The  Bag  Habit’  and  thought  having  a  specific  campaign  rather  than  an  overall  clean  up  can  appeal  to  the  audience  more  personally.      WaveAwayWaste  was  designed  to  go  with  the  beach  clean  poster  a  set.  It  can  reach  out  to  the  audience  on  social  media  first,  once  they  have  ‘followed’  

you  as  seen  on  the  bottom  of  the  poster,  you  can  then  be  led  to  the  beach  clean.    This  could  be  in  the  way  of  a  tweet  or  direct  message.  The  problem  the  client  had  was  that  they  could  not  reach  out  to  the  younger  audiences.  Having  something  new,  even  as  an  idea  shows  the  great  deal  of  thought  put  in.      The  secondary  poster  helps  support  the  beach  clean  as  well  as  providing  some  more  awareness  to  other  causes  such  as  Marine  Litter.    The  poster  uses  the  logo  like  all  the  other  products  and  this  provides  its  purpose  should  the  client  use  it  or  parts  of  the  idea  in  the  future.      Even  just  as  an  idea  it  can  be  worth  exploring.  It  may  not  have  the  technical  aspects  other  posters  include,  however  the  suggestion  itself  along  with  the  Beach  Clean  can  provide  something  for  the  client.  Something  they  can  take  and  adapt.    

 The  Beach  Clean  poster  like  the  Merchandise  is  fit  for  purpose.  Why?  Because  not  only  does  it  provide  the  content  asked  for  from  the  client,  it  uses  information  from  existing  pieces  and  adds  fresh  ideas  impetus  to  the  full  organisation.            The  client  can  use  it  as  it  has  been  well  structured  and  thought  through  and  is  well  produced.    I  feel  the  same  in  relation  to  the  Membership  form.  Like  the  poster  I  spent  the  same  amount  of  time,  put  in  the  same  planning  and  idea  generation  and  produced  multiple  copies  to  produce  something  I  feel  is  adequate.      Out  of  the  four  pieces,  I  feel  this  is  the  least  strongest  but  still  holds  value  when  looking  at  how  and  if  it  could  be  used.      

   The  reason  behind  being  uncertain  over  the  fitness  for  purpose  is  that  I  changed  the  audience  before  the  creation.  I  wanted  to  create  something  for  a  younger  audience  than  what  it  looks  like,  however  I  decided  that  images  would  take  away  from  the  text  and  I  wanted  something  much  structured.      To  make  it  readable  I  wanted  add  colour  to  the  text,  this  I  felt  would  replace  the  small  images.  This  is  in  fact  fit  for  purpose  but  for  an  older  audience  than  first  thought.  The  front  page  has  a  hint  of  negativity  to  it  like  the  poster.  The  use  of  the  levels  to  make  the  image  a  darker  shade  provided  this  look.  

 

The  final  piece  looks  as  if  it  has  had  little  thought  and  previous  designs,  however  it  took  the  longest  amount  of  time  to  find  the  most  simplistic  style.  This  may  sound  not  right;  however  choosing  the  correct  font  and  colours  was  vital.      The  reason  why  I  feel  the  work  is  fit  for  purpose  is  that  it  covers  everything  that  is  needed  in  a  membership  form  made  for  new  members.      It  has  background  imagery,  a  variety  of  fonts,  colours  to  support  the  text  and  help  the  reader  digest  it,  facts  and  figures  to  interact  with  them  and  the  required  information  such  as  direct  debit.      The  front  and  back  pages  are  well  thought  through  and  based  on  the  work  already  created  by  the  client.      

Again,  when  it  came  to  the  production  side  of  the  work,  I  researched,  explored  and  attempted  to  reproduce  the  existing  work  but  add  something  new  and  exiting  they  have  missed  in  order  to  attract  a  different  section  of  the  demographic.      The  membership  form  may  look  bland  and  perhaps  too  simplistic  but  I  did  experiment  with  large  

amounts  of  content  and  it  took  away  from  the  serious  issues  explained  in  the  points.    From  this  membership  form  used  by  Surfers  Against  Sewage,  I  wanted  to  use  the  highlighting  of  the  sections  to  replace  any  imagery.  The  imagery  that  was  to  be  used  I  placed  on  the  background  to  make  the  dark  text  stand  out  that  much  more.      After  various  Flat  plans  and  research,  I  decided  that  the  layout  above  was  the  correct  one  for  the  both  the  information  I  had  gathered  earlier  such  as  facts  and  figures  as  well  as  the  layout.      To  have  it  clear,  concise  and  organised  would  make  it  readable  and  easier  for  the  audience  to  understand.  It  is  for  this  reason  that  they  are  fit  for  purpose.  The  purpose  was  to  raise  awareness  and  make  more  people  join  the  organisation.      The  membership  form  would  do  this.  It  may  not  be  as  visually  pleasing,  however  the  content  covers  all  the  individual  campaigns  by  SAS.              

     Do  the  products  created  communicate  my  message?      As  I  was  working  for  a  client,  in  professional  practice,  their  message  is  my  message.  In  the  brief,  they  wanted  something  modern,  fresh  and  relevant  to  its  audience  and  the  wider  world.      The  audience  was  a  younger,  more  energetic  person  that  wants  to  add  new  ideas  to  the  organisation.  They  all  add  new  life  and  content.  They  are  all  colourful  and  keep  to  the  intentions  decided  upon.      The  client  can  use  them  as  they  fill  the  criteria  they  were  after.  The  message  before  these  products  were  created  was  to  raise  awareness  to  the  issues,  now  I  have  produced  this  work;  it  raises  awareness  but  starts  to  educate  people  at  a  young  age.      This  new  message  of  education  to  the  younger  audience  can  reduce  some  of  the  concerns  raised.      The  target  audience  is  a  young  age  range  of  15-­‐21.  As  the  production  process  went  through  the  age  range  started  to  be  thought  about  as  a  much  older  person.  The  use  of  social  media,  negative  colours  and  a  change  in  merchandise  suggested  that  the  age  range  was  older.      I  feel  even  though  the  target  audience  may  have  risen  higher,  the  work  produced  is  still  suitable  for  them.  All  of  the  pieces  have  some  technical  aspects  t  them,  some  more  than  others  and  the  planning  provides  that  stability  in  the  structure  of  the  work.      

As  the  message  was  to  reach  out  to  a  younger  audience,  I  feel  this  has  been  achieved.    The  target  audience  was  thought  about  throughout  the  production  process,  with  each  design  created  it  was  looked  upon  as  if  it  would  appeal  to  the  audience.      Techniques  I  used  that  appealed  to  the  audience  were  the  following.  Having  social  media  incorporated  in  the  poster,  items  that  they  would  buy  being  part  of  the  merchandise  creation,  highlighted  text  that  would  help  digest  the  information  and  dark,  negative  imagery  used  to  shock  and  educate  them.    

Here  is  a  poster  aimed  at  preventing  drinking  and  taking  drugs  whilst  driving.  It  is  not  the  same  topic  as  the  poster  and  membership  form,  but  has  the  same  purpose  and  techniques  in  order  to  grab  the  reader’s  attention  and  educate.      The  campaign  poster  uses  images  of  the  topic  to  go  with  the  title  or  text.  Here  it  is  the  same;  this  uses  a  person  at  the  wheel  with  facts  and  figures  supporting  the  image.    The  facts  and  figures  are  used  in  the  membership  form.  This  is  to  educate  the  younger  reader.  If  you  can  shock  them  into  something  they  had  been  unaware  of,  it  is  one  step  closer  to  preventing  them  

from  doing  or  stopping  it.    Here,  the  poster  is  clear  and  concise  and  makes  it  easily  readable  for  the  young  audience.  When  educating  them  it  is  important  to  not  have  too  much  detail  in  the  work  as  they  can  lose  concentration  very  quickly.    When  exploring  media  campaigns  aimed  at  the  same  age  range,  you  can  see  and  understand  how  appropriate  the  work  you  have  created  is.      When  looking  at  the  poster  I  created,  it  has  the  target  audience  actually  in  the  piece.      This  is  the  first  indication  given  to  the  reader  about  who  it  is  aimed  towards.    Here  it  has  the  teenagers  in  the  image  walking  away  from  the  rubbish,  whereas  the  second  image  from  the  left  on  the  poster  I  created  for  the  client  has  a  ‘typical’  member  of  the  demographic  aimed  towards.        

The  original  intension  of  the  work  was  to  create  something  educational  and  fun  for  a  younger  age  range  to  enjoy.    

 Merchandise  was  meant  to  be  of  the  interactive  nature.  Having  stickers  or  badges  such  as  here  on  the  left  would  be  a  way  to  incorporate  the  merchandise  and  the  membership  form.      The  membership  was  to  have  areas  to  place  the  stickers,  concerning  each  topic  such  as  a  sticker  of  an  industry  to  go  next  to  the  piece  about  waste  pumped  into  the  oceans.    This  was  not  created  as  I  felt  the  audience  had  to  be  older  in  order  to  include  much  more  text.  Also,  targeting  children  would  mean  that  you  are  relying  on  the  parents  or  guardians  to  pay  for  the  membership  or  merchandise.      Having  a  slightly  older  audience  would  allow  to  use  both  the  educational  theme  and  use  merchandise  but  to  a  more  professional  manner.  

   

                       

 The  hat  was  something  I  based  the  mind  map  and  planning  stages  on.  It  was  a  necessity.  Surfers  need  hats  and  it  is  beachwear.  However,  I  felt  if  the  products  were  made  they  must  appeal  to  all  ages.      Having  a  t-­‐shirt  can  be  suitable  to  the  target  market,  which  is  important,  but  also  can  branch  out  to  the  mass  market.  This  will  allow  development  for  the  client.      My  original  intention  for  merchandise  changed  and  as  did  the  poster.  I  wanted  to  have  some  very  negative  imagery  in  order  to  shock  the  young  reader.  This  would  educate  them  and  perhaps  entice  them  to  sign  up  to  the  organisation.        

Something  like  this  image  already  created  by  Surfers  Against  Sewage.      I  decided  against  it  and  stuck  to  negative  colours  rather  than  imagery.      I  wanted  to  contrast  the  images  with  the  theme.  Having  negative  images  can  often  put  the  young  audience  off.      Using  pictures  of  people  the  same  age  helping  the  organisation  was  a  tool  to  attract  them.    

   My  original  idea  of  using  existing  images  to  attract  the  audience  was  not  used  as  I  felt  it  was  too  similar.  Instead  I  chose  a  font  that  would  do  the  same  but  keep  it  unique.      The  membership  form  was  the  same,  however  instead  of  a  dark  theme  it  was  meant  to  be  something  very  simple.  With  the  use  of  images  to  help  digest  the  text  it  was  to  be  aimed  at  a  young  audience  to  be  signed  up  to  the  family  membership  package.      

This  on  the  left  was  the  first  idea  for  the  membership  form,  something  exciting  and  for  a  young  age  range.      I  decided  against  it  as  it  was  restricting  the  possible  market.  Without  any  text  or  anything  about  what  the  client  is  and  what  they  do,  it  is  missing  the  point  and  instead  looking  at  what  the  audience  wants  to  see,  such  as  colours  and  

images.    I  wanted  to  produce  something  that  helped  the  client  expand  and  attract  a  much  large  audience.  Having  just  text  was  the  way  I  saw  this.  It  can  be  suitable  to  a  young  audience,  with  the  use  of  different  fonts  and  background  imagery,  but  it  is  acceptable  for  mass-­‐market  use  also.    

 The  techniques  used  have  been  effective;  as  they  have  kept  to  the  guidelines  I  set  myself.  I  wanted  to  create  products  that  looked  simplistic  and  professional  simultaneously.    The  techniques  used  such  as  colour  alterations  through  levels  and  hue  saturation  added  to  the  quality  of  the  work,  gave  a  professional  look  to  the  pieces  and  allowed  me  to  keep  to  the  style  throughout.      Having  a  good  mixture  of  light  and  dark  shades  made  the  work  intriguing  to  look  at  and  gave  it  a  unique  edge.  The  client  stated  in  the  brief  that  they  wanted  something  fresh.  I  could  have  created  the  generic  merchandise  and  bright,  colourful  posters  with  images  in  membership  forms,  however  I  wanted  to  go  above  and  beyond  and  look  to  a  different  audience.      I  was  more  concerned  with  education  over  appearance.  To  add  the  content  of  what  the  organisation  does  rather  than  pretty  colours  or  images.      I  feel  that  when  someone  is  going  to  pay  money  for  a  membership,  they  will  want  to  know  what  they  get  from  it  and  what  the  organisation  does.  That  is  exactly  what  the  membership  form  does.      In  a  technical  point  of  view  the  tools  used  have  been  minimalistic,  however  the  main  concern  was  the  content.  People  wan  to  know  what  they  are  spending  money  on.    This  is  why  the  audience  was  raised  slightly  higher  than  first  thought.  The  client  would  benefit  more  from  an  informative  piece  of  text.      I  feel  when  looking  at  the  creativity  in  the  work  and  technical  skills,  I  could  have  used  much  more  and  there  is  room  for  improvement.  However,  with  the  work  I  did  create  the  tools  were  effective  enough  to  make  it  correspondent  with  the  target  audience.    

When  looking  at  one  product  of  the  4  that  had  the  most  technical  techniques  used  it  would  have  to  be  the  logo.      Various  different  types  were  created,  using  the  Rotoscope  tool  to  its  full  effect.      Once  I  had  decided  on  the  final  logo  and  how  it  was  to  be  created  I  had  to  look  at  the  waves.  It  was  more  complex  to  create  than  it  looks,  making  it  surround  the  eye  was  important  and  to  have  other  shades  of  colour  inside  needed  more  Rotoscoping  and  developing  of  layers.      The  techniques  for  the  eye  were  to  use  the  shape  tool.  The  star  and  circular  shapes  made  it  look  much  better  than  the  first  design.    

The  techniques  for  the  poster  were  also  a  tricky  process.  The  levels  tool  to  choose  the  correct  background  colour  had  to  be  correct.  The  use  of  the  green  was  something  planned  in  the  early  production  stages.      I  would  consider  the  layout  of  the  text  across  the  page  as  a  technique  that  required  a  rather  lot  of  planning  and  other  creations.  To  get  the  size  and  colour  right  was  hard.    This  has  been  effective  as  it  contains  fewer  colours  and  is  more  attractive  than  the  design’s  made  earlier.  

 The  merchandise  required  techniques  such  as  the  Rotoscope  as  well.  The  opacity  was  also  manipulated      The  design  need  intricate  cutting  out.  Further  techniques  were  to  add  gradient  on  the  shirts.  After  experimenting  without  it  was  vital  something  was  added  to  the  work.    I  would  consider  the  content  to  be  effective  as  it  appeals  to  the  audience  and  a  large  mass  market.  It  has  all  the  information  required,  perhaps  it  goes  above  what  is  needed,  however  it  also  has  a  good  balance  between  content  and  visual  clarity.  The  products  have  a  much  more  professional  look  to  them.  They  are  simple  yet  effective.      This  reflects  the  content  throughout.  It  does  not  have  anything  over  the  top;  it  keeps  the  boundaries  set  with  the  chosen  target  market.      The  impact  my  advertising  campaign  will  have  will  be  minimal.  The  Beach  clean  will  be  as  successful  as  the  previous  ones  and  will  attract  previous  members,  

perhaps  persuade  them  to  join  but  in  terms  of  impact  to  the  oceans  and  the  issues  such  as  marine  litter,  there  will  be  little  change.      The  large  industries  will  keep  doing  what  they  are  doing.  The  poster  WaveAwayWaste  and  this  beach  clean  will  educate  people  at  a  younger  age  and  perhaps  in  the  long  term,  the  waste  in  the  sea  will  be  less,  but  in  the  short  term  the  sad  reality  is  more  people  will  need  to  be  involved  and  voices  from  high  places  will  need  to  be  contacted.      Surfers  Against  Sewage,  the  client  have  had  petitions  before  where  they  have  reached  out  to  members  of  the  government,  however  with  the  issues  here  being  of  industry  and  general  littering,  there  is  little  the  government  can  do  to  help  in  the  short  term.    Like  mentioned  before,  the  best  way  to  get  through  and  make  a  change  is  to  start  at  a  young  age    (which  is  why  I  chose  a  young  audience  for  the  products).  Starting  at  a  young  age  can  raise  awareness  to  them  of  the  problems  polluting  can  do.      The  public  overall  will  not  change  as  dramatically  as  hoped  but  the  targeted  audience  on  the  social  media  sites  that  are  given  the  chance  to  read  the  hashtag  or  status  by  Surfers  Against  Sewage  would  perhaps  stop  before  littering  in  future.      The  technical  qualities  of  my  work  would  be  the  products  being  made  to  a  good  standard  on  Photoshop,  using  tools  and  adjustments  to  manipulate  an  image  I  wanted  to  create  from  the  planning  stages.      The  Aesthetical  qualities  of  the  work  are  the  logo  and  merchandise.  They  look  fit  for  purpose  and  keep  to  the  target  audience.  The  bright  colours  are  similar  to  that  of  previous  logos  and  merchandise  by  the  client  and  therefore  show  consistency  in  the  products  and  research  to  look  in  to  the  background  of  Surfers  Against  Sewage.      The  colours  on  the  logo  represent  those  commonly  seen  near  the  ocean  or  beach.  This  can  visually  support  what  is  being  said  in  the  work  produced.    The  overall  look  of  the  poster  and  membership  has  a  good  use  of  different  fonts  and  sizes,  a  good  respect  for  the  composition  and  layout  of  the  piece  as  well  as  looking  into  the  colours  that  would  best  reflect  the  audience  and  the  client’s  organisation.      Blue  and  green  were  shades  kept  throughout  the  planning  and  production  process.
