9. Task 2b – Action Plan/Schedule
Session Activity Who is responsible?
1 Finish doing the research on: Quotes, Useful
websites, Pop art facts, And famous work.
The group as a whole. After, we will all share
our different information between us.
2 Begin to make a brief design for the poster. This will
include the general location for everything in the
poster (information), as well as colour scheme.
Us individually. We will make our designs,
share our similarities, and then begin to make
the final product after the previous steps.
3 Write down my evidence and reasoning for each
component in my poster: Where, Why, How?
Us individually. We will state down the reasons
for certain aspects of the design and why.
4 Finish writing down evidence and begin to make
final product.
Us individually. After writing evidence we will
create our previously planned final product.
5 Carry on making the final product to the best. Us individually, as we are creating our design.
6 Finish up making the poster and begin to work on
the final evaluation for the final product.
Us individually as it is about our experience
making the product that we designed in the
previous lessons.
7 Finish up writing the final evaluation pages. Us individually as it’s about our experience.

10. Task 2c – Planning
• 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.]
Initially we decided on our poster art genre and title, we would then work around this later in the designing phase.
We came to the conclusion of a pop art genre along with the main title being ‘POP!’, this conforms to the limitation
of only using one word for the title whilst still easily making the genre obvious. The title ‘POP’ upon first seeing the
poster instantly strikes the audiences attention, alongside this an exclamation mark also grabs their eyes. The title
‘POP’ in bright yellow and red, and size 50pt which makes it even more clear and presentable for people with
reading difficulties (Shown in diagram 1).
After deciding on the title font, being ‘Phosphate Solid’, and its color, being red and yellow,
we then needed to figure out how we could even further make it entertaining to the
audience, whilst still keeping it appealing and relatable to our genre.
Later we, our group, decided to incorporate some recognizable pop art in our main design; we came to the
conclusion on using the classic, famous and recognizable comic style bang explosion, this would be located top
left of the page being the color cream. The bang explosion style further makes it obvious where the title is and
what the poster is about. Using an easily recognizable point of interest
in the poster further draws the audiences attention towards the poster and
sets a fun atmosphere, which may appeal to younger categories of people,
such as children or young adults. This finished the main title area of my
poster leaving me to go onto the next stage, the background.
This finished my main title header for the poster (Shown in diagram 2).

11. After the completion of my main title heading, I moved onto creating the background of the poster. With the theme
being pop art, and the main aspect of pop art is bright colors and the involvement of popular things in that current
time, I decided to involve this is the background of my poster by creating a collage type design. This was initially
done by creating a set of dividers into the background, this would create areas of weird geometric shapes to insert
images in. Next, with the theme being popular stuff, I gathered a range of different images of famous and
recognizable artwork in the movement. These images, such as Whaam! And Marylyn, would then be cropped and
sized to fit into these geometric holes. The separate images had to be cropped into small and oddly shaped sizes,
so Photoshop was useful with the use of many different tools, such as rectangular marquee and quick selection
tool. After a long and
overwhelming time of cropping and deleting each separate image, they
had been placed into this college type design leaving a professional yet
stylish poster. I had decided to set these images in this geometric pattern
as it conforms to the movement and what pop art style is like. Further, the
geometric pattern allows a unique and attractive design grabbing the
attention of the passing audience members. I had decided to include the
wide range of set images as these offer an insight in what to expect with
the pop art movement, in regards to style, as well as some of them are very
recognizable, meaning it is much easier for the audience to have a
connection with the poster and movement itself, which further persuades
them to visit this attraction. This finished the main background design of
the poster leaving me to go onto the next stage of the poster, the
information. This finished the background design (shown in diagram 3).

Finally, after completing the heading and title, I moved onto the final part of the poster, the information. To do this
is would combine both my research and some designing aspects to create a formal presentation.
Firstly, I simply added a rectangular box to cover the whole bottom half of the poster, this would contain the
information inside. To add synergy between different parts of my poster I used the pipette tool to make the box the
exact same cream color of the bang explosion where the title is located, along the top of the poster; this makes
the poster more connected between each other, not random, and also having it cream makes it more calming and
not as sharp.
Next I was to add the information regarding date, time, location, prices, and what to expect at the gallery. Initially I
had typed ‘We welcome you to the’ in a bold solid font, this grab the eye of passing people and acts as a bold yet
professional opening to the gallery. This is the followed by ‘Pop!’ art gallery’ in the same font yet unfilled, this font
sets a retro style to the gallery, linking well to the pop
art movement as it was during the 1950s 60s, but also sets a clear
statement to what the poster is referring to.
After the welcoming statement, general information is stated underneath
in a much more formal and simple font, whilst also being minimized in
size. This holds general information and so the text doesn't’t need to be a
different font in places, like the title, making it easier for different
audiences to read, as well as the smaller size mean less room is wasted
for the poster to include more information. The underneath this is the time,
date, prices, and location clear presented so that the customers can take
action if they are interested in the gallery opening.
This finished the poster as a whole (shown in diagram 4).

13. Task 4 – Production/Final Products
• 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’

14. Describe three problems you faced in your project and how you solved these
• 1 – Finding information through a book source. We overcame this situation by accessing
the same book that the other groups used; from this we could then use our previous research to find
something that we had already had a bit of knowledge on and then use that source.
• 2 – The incorporated drawing into the poster. I had overcome this by outlining the titles
explosion. Outlining this meant that the title standing out more and prevented the explosion from blending
in with the range of images used around it, meaning it is much more obvious to the customers.
• 3 – Finding suitable quotes for the research. This had been overcome by finding a useful
website with a range of different quotes by different artists. However it may seem simple it was much more
complicated as some didn't’t make much sense with the pop art genre and so we had to carefully pick out
the quotes, making sure that once presented to our customers they weren’t confused as much as we
were.
