Unit 1.4 Evaluation

In conclusion I am satisfied with my overall guide which I think attracts my target audience. I am pleased at my outcome and It looks visually pleasing. I had positive feedback from my class such as:
'It looks attractive, I would definatly take that guide'
'I love the ducks, it looks adorable and the inside of your middle page has the back of the duck which is really creative how did you do that?'
'I love the inside of your page especially the Experience The HQ&HD Cinema Entertainment. It looks really appealing'
'I like your back cover and how you created a small collage at the bottom so it doesn't look boring.'
'Your colours on your front, middle and back contrast. I think it's creative how you interacted with the audience by using: theres more. Your fonts are simple, clear and the colours on each page contrast with one another'

The positive feedback has shown that I have succeeded the brief, visually and communicationally. I am happy that the feedbacks are positive and there were no negative comments.
I have really enjoyed this project even though there were difficulties on posting my work onto blogger and the fact that I had other subjects to do. I have learn't new skills on Photoshop and more about how important the deadline is as I have found it quite difficult to keep up with it.

Unit 1.4 Drafts of a guide to the creative and media scene in the Southbank

The draft of my front cover, I have drawn is simple and appealing because of the colours I have chosen also I have added dates and events just like the graphics I have researched. I wanted to create a guide that was professional yet still have an impact on my target audience which is tourists. I have added a simple image as I was inspired by one of the Guides.

The draft of my middle page is attractive and eye-catching as it does not look too complicated and busy which might bore the reader if there is plenty of information. My draft is quite similar to the third southbank guide however the text does not collage infront of the image but the background is black which is what I planned before. Also I kept the misleading background colour just like the second draft did.

The draft for the back of my guide looks interesting as there will be useful information that might be needed for my target audience. I will included a Map just like the BFI guide so my target audience knows their way if they are interested in visiting the BFI IMAX. I decided to go with a different approad and set the background colour differently to see how it would look like however I think I would stick with my recent idea.

In conclusion I think my drafts are well drawn out and coloured to show a clear idea of my ideas that will soon be created and edited onto Photoshop ready to be presented. My drawings are simple and procise so it shows the basic things I would need to add when I create my real Guide. I like my drawings overall because of the colour scheme I have chose however once I start creating my official Guide, I might not like the colour or image so this would be something I would have to consider and develop when I start creating it.
