5. Task 1 – Research – Wen source
• Andy Warhol was an American artist, director and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art
movement known as Pop art. His motto was: “I think everybody should be a machine.” Which was reflected
in the way he created his prints. American Pop art was less subjective and referential than it’s British
counterpart, it being more aggressive and emblematic looking.

9. Task 2b – Action Plan/Schedule
3.1
• Add notes here on how you stuck to your plan/had to change your
plan and why
I made sure to stick to my plan by following the mockup poster I had created. With this, I made sure that my
poster had the same form of layout that my mockup has (e.g. the title being at the top of the page and
having the image in the centre).
However I did add an extra image to the poster. I did this because I thought it would make it look more eye-
catching and look less simplistic. The text I used is quite bold so it stands out easily.

• Use these slides to show your planning of your products, think about
structure and the components for each product [evidence for this
may include storyboards, flat plans, sketches, etc]

• Describe three problems you faced in your project and how you
solved these
• 1. I found it difficult to decide on a colour scheme to use for my poster(s). To solve this problem I
researched online different images that linked with my theme and used them to give me inspiration.
• 2 I wasn’t sure how to use photoshop at first but after trying to use different tools /effects on an image I
learned how to use it.
• 3 I wasn’t sure about how to download and install fonts at first, but I was able to learn how to do it after
asking for help and being shown how to do it.

15. Task 5 – Evaluation – Working with others
• Choose three aspects of your production where you worked well with
your team and this benefited the project

we disagreed.
• 2 We also worked well when deciding who would do what job (create what) in our group for the project.
• 3 We helped each other when either someone didn’t know how to do something and/or needed help.

16. Task 5 – Evaluation - Feedback
• Discuss the feedback you received from your tutor during the project
and how you used this to improve the project
• The feedback I received helped me to improve my product. I was told
that my poster looked quite simplistic so I should try and make it look
more appealing. I edited my poster by adding more colour as well as
adding additional information that you would see on an actual poster
e.g. Date/time

won’t be able to get distracted so easily.
