Evaluation Question 1 Draft

• What was your initial concept for your final project and what were the reasons behind your choices?

 

What were you trying to achieve in making your final product? What message were you trying to give? Who were you targeting with your final product and of what relevance is your project to an audience? What specialism have you followed, games, film, print, web etc? How would this help you progress onto further study or into work? Is it a project that you have passion about?

Initially I had 3 ideas for my project. One was based on Immigration another on Architecture and the final one based on UK Esports. However, I chose to base my project on architecture, but after talking to one of my teachers, he told me to narrow down my idea and find a niche within it. So, after a few lessons passed by focusing on the globalization aspect of buildings within London. I thought of this as at the time I saw an article talking about a certain building which was going to be sold to a foreign company. For me the focus of my project is to inform an audience of how our amazing skyscrapers are being taken over or are not ours at all. The target audience I was grasping for was young adults who happen to be politically aware as well as someone who has an interest in globalization. Our magazine is based on a very niche topic hence the reason why our audience may be small. The type of specialism I have followed is print. As we were creating a magazine accompanied by a poster. In future, I would like to possibly work within the political industry, this project ties in to politics fairly well as it is spoken about by politicians and political pundits. I would say I am passionate about this particular project, however I am not as passionate as I once was, as I was previously.

Friday 26th May

Today I began thinking about the things I needed to cover over the summer holidays, I also worked on the InDesign document so that I can complete it as soon as possible.

Thursday 25th May

Today we finished up writing about the shard and began finishing our magazine and we feel that we only need a couple more articles and pieces of text here and there and we will make a product that we feel very professional and prestigious. We were also given feedback by another teacher, Venessa, when we spoke to her she helped us get an outsider’s view on what we need to change in our magazine and what is good already to help us move on with this project with a positive mindset.

Wednesday 24th May

Today I began inserting the text for the Gherkin into InDesign document, so that me and Shane could get an idea of how a finished double page spread will look, when we were doing this we spoke to each other and thought of some very good design ideas so that therefore we can make our magazine seem as authentic as possible such as following the guidelines set by InDesign so that it will look neat and in order and the use of our style sheet so that therefore we stick to a theme and our magazine is consistent throughout. Our idea is to make the magazine look sleek, stylish and high end.

Tuesday 23rd May

Today I continued writing for the magazine. I referred to research sheets I had created earlier on in the project. I created a double page spread of the Shard and listed several facts, I then continued in writing up an article for The Gherkin page.
