2. Task 1 – Research – Web source
Title/Weblink/Date accessed:
As research I simply googled pop art and examined the style and themes that’s used within
pop art pieces, I used this information to make my own and made sure I accurately
replicated the overall style of pop art. The bright coloured retro feel was implemented into
almost every image I saw when researching pop art.

Include a link to your blog where you have posted this PP and your final
products – the post on your blog should be titled ‘Induction Week Project’
11. Task 4 – Evaluation – Production
Describe three strengths of your final pieces.
1. The colour scheme of my poster replicates the traditional pop art colours. I used bright
and vibrant colours such as light blue, yellow and purple which are commonly used in well
know pop art pieces.
2. The poster is split into three pieces by a line that extends across the page, this is also a
common design amongst pop art as one of the main themes used in this type of art is comic
books. The lines in pop art are used in the same way as they are in comic books, which is to
separate different images. That is exactly what I did in my poster, I separated different parts
of the poster with comic book lines in attempt to look as close to a pop art piece as I can.
3. The layout, colour and positioning of the text on my poster makes it very easy to locate
and read. I intentionally made the colour of the text opposite to that of the background
colour whilst still being able to maintain a consistent pop art colour scheme. I also added a
drop shadow to all the text making it even easier to read. The font also helps in making the
text stand out.
12. Task 4 – Evaluation – Production
Describe three areas for improvement in your final pieces.
1. one of the things that could be improved is the size of some of the text. The date, time
and location of the event are slightly small, some people may not be able to make it out too
well especially from a distance. Overall, I think most people would be able to read it but
elderly people or people who are reding from far away might not be able to make out what
some of the text says.
2. Another improvement that could be made is the fact that the middle section of the poster
doesn’t have any background pattern like the top and bottom sections do. Adding some form
of pattern to the middle would make the overall design more consistent looking and nothing
would feel out of place .
3. Another thing that could be improved is the patterns I've used on the bottom and top
section of my poster, they don’t extend all the way across the screen, although it looks good
how it is it would most likely look less out of place if the dot and diamond patterns filled the
entire section.
13. Task 4 – Evaluation – Problem Solving
Describe three problems you faced in your project and how you solved these
1. The city PNG image I used was clashing with the black line I used to separate the different
parts of the poster and the bottom part of the city PNG was merged with the line and made it
look very unappealing. To solve this problem, I simply used a thin white coloured rectangle to
separate the two and it made it look much better and way more visually appealing.
2. Another problem I had was with the text, the words on the poster didn’t stand out and
reading was slightly difficult. To solve this, I decided to add a drop shadow to the text, drop
shadow simply adds a black shadow like layer under the text. This made the text not only
look better but also made it stand out more and increased the visibility of the words.
3. Anther problem with the poster was that at the start it looked rather plain and boring,
there was nothing very special or eye catching about it, the poster was just a purple
background with a title, date and location of the event I'm advertising. To solve this issue, I
decided to take inspiration from other famous or well known pop art pieces and decided to
add more colour. I split the poster into three parts each with a different colour scheme. This
made the piece more eye catching and vibrant, also giving variety.
14. Task 4 – Evaluation - Feedback
Discuss the feedback you received from your tutor during the project and how
you used this to improve the project.
- an example of feedback I received is centralisation of my title and some of
the images I used, they were originally slightly off centre, I improved my
project by simply making them as close as completely central as I could. This
improved my project by making it look neater and
