3. Research
Strengths
• One strength I feel my research has is with the existing product I decide to use as
research examples as I feel I had a good understanding of what made people want to
buy or watch that product and how they would be similar to my own.
• Another strength I feel my research has is also in the research analysis as I feel I had
great understanding of what I may want to take from other peoples product and add
It to my own and what I will need to have different in my product so it isn’t
considered a rip off of another product.
• A final strength I feel my research has is in he audience profile as I feel I had a great
understanding of the audience I am aiming for and what they expect in a product
that they usually buy or watch.
Weaknesses
• One weakness I feel my research has was with some of the audience research questions
as one of them didn't have conclusive answers really about what people wanted the
style of the shirt design would be so I could only take a gamble and choose one style.
• Another weakness I feel my research had was the interviews as looking back now I feel
the questions weren’t detailed enough and were a little to much like the question I had
in the earlier stages of audience research.
How my research helped my product
The way my research has helped my product is by helping me understand
what works and what doesn't work in videos thanks to the existing video
product I researched which helped me layout my video better than I would
have done without it, another way the researched helped my product was
thanks to the example logos I knew how to set mine out with the use of
bright colours in front of darker backgrounds to help it stand out more, a
final way my research helped my product was in the t-shirt design as I was
disappointed with how the style questions results came out but I decide to
work with what I got and decided when I was redoing the shirt design again
I decide to commission my mum to do the image in a style that looks
realistic but cartoonish at the same time this style was the anime art style
so it’s the best of both worlds it cartoonish but still has a sense of realism to
it
One thing I would have done better for my research would be to ask 20 people rather than ten
so I could have had a more wider scope of people preference when it come to products and
maybe I would have gotten a result were one style was more popular than the other meaning
the effect this would have on my product that the shirt designs style would have been either in a
cartoon style or would have been realistic style.

4. Planning
Strengths
• A strength I feel my planning had was the two mind maps I had done because the
first one has simple spit ball ideas with not to much detail to them but enough to
know what they are as the first one should and the second one going into more detail
with the idea I picked like what other ideas and opportunity's that can come from it.
• Another strength I feel my planning had was the mood board as I feel it gives good
example of how I want my work to be and the style I'm going for the logo shirt design
and video.
• A final strength I feel my planning had was the mood board analysis I felt I had a good
understanding of what was similar between each image I had on the mood board and
what I planned on using from the mood board in my own work.
Weaknesses
• A weakness I feel my planning had was the reasoning for not doing the other ideas as
they sound more like random excuse or just lazy rather than actual reasons for not doing
them.
• Another weakness I feel my planning is that I feel I had too many cartoon images in it
and would have been better if I had had other image style as well to have better array of
ideas that could come from it.
What I would have improved in my planning would be to redo the reason why I didn't do the
other two ideas and also choose other videos with other image styles like anime that would
have tied in better with the shirt image style that I went with after the first one didn’t turn out
so well and the effect this would have had on my product is that the images style may have been
different to what they are now like a realistic design for the thumbnail and logo and even the
shirt design
My planning helped me decide what media product theme I
would do for my final project and which youtube products I
would make for my final project which were a shirt logo and
video review and what image style they would use which was
cartoon and what color theme I would use in them which were
the main colors were brighter color and the secondary color
would be darker colors.

5. Time Management
• I had managed my time well during this production as I was able to get all
of the product I planned on doing done in time before I had to hand all of
them in.
• However I do believe my work could have been improved with additional
time with me being able to do all three games in the spyro the reignited
trilogy instead of just the first game in the trilogy.
• If I had additional time to produce my work I would have gone back to the
video I had done and include the other two game in the spyro reignited
trilogy review making the video longer but also I would have gone back
and redone a few line that may seem not very understandable to make
them more clearer to the audience.

6. Technical Qualities
Similarity's
• One similarity between my products and the
existing one is in the way the logos are
presented as both my logo and the existing
one as both have simple designs aspect to
them there simple and straight to the point.
• A second similarity between my products and
the existing ones is found in the shirt design
styles as both use a cartoony style to
represent the characters and also both have
phrases to go with the designs as well.
• A third similarity between my products and
the existing ones is the way the videos are
presented as both my video review and the
existing one both cut back and fourth
between the reviewer and the product that is
being reviewed with audio commentary in the
back ground.
• A final similarity between my products and
the existing ones is that both my products
title card and the existing product video title
card don’t get shown at the beginning of the
video rather they are shown later in the video
a few second after wards
Differences
• One difference between my product and the
existing one is that my logo uses more colours
in it than the existing one which just uses two
colours and mine has more of a coat of arms
feel to it with two blade at the back a helmet
in front with two controllers in front of that
with the name of the channel.
• A second difference between my product and
the existing one is in the shirt designs
characters whilst the existing design character
is a demon my design character is an angle
with halo asphetics to him and that goes for
the other product I have made including the
logo and video.
• A third difference between my product and
the existing products is that the existing video
is a review of a comic book whist mine is of a
review of a video game.
• A fourth difference between my video product
and the existing one is that my video has an
advertisement for a merch line whilst the
existing one dose’nt.
• A final difference between my products and
the existing ones is my video uses footage
from halo 5 for the host parts of the video
whist the existing one uses live action shots
for the host parts of the show.

7. Aesthetic Qualities
Strengths
• A strength I feel my products
have is that they all share a
original and unique design.
• Another strength my products
have is that they are all
connected toward one another
in one way or another as
stated before as an example
the designs.
• A final strength I feel my
products have is the logo is
unique and has a design that is
different from the other out
there.
Weaknesses
• A weakness my products have
is that it uses the aseptic
quality's of other existing
products which if not handled
carefully may lead to a
copyright strike from the
original makers of that
product.
• Another weakness my product
has is that the video review
and shirt I have done may
contain to much profanity that
isn’t suitable for younger ages
meaning that it results in a
loss in profits.
I am quite confident to say my work looks good as all of them have a connection with each other through the
aspects' and I am quite happy with the design of each image done for each product, I also feel that my product were
creative enough as yes they use the aseptic of another existing product but are creatively different enough to stand
on there own. The aspect of my product visuals I like is that it has a mixture of cartoonish design but has a sense of
realism to it that gives my products its own unique style which is important when making a product. One thing I
would improve in my product is the title card design has the helmet my character is wearing is a bit to small and the
way I would improve this is by going back the photoshop selecting the helmet and using the transformation option
to increase the helmets size, another thing I would improve from my product is that of the audio for archer bot and
travis and archer bot sound way to echoey and travise audio sounds like it cutting at certain points and the way I
would improve these mistake is by rerecording the line for those character again and then replacing the previous
audio files with the new ones.

8. Audience Appeal
One way my products will appeal to my target audience is through the image styles as in my questionnaire I asked what
image style people preferred in which I got an equal response as half like a cartoony style whilst the other half preferred a
realistic style and so I decide to go with a design that had the best of both world in which I decide to do the design In an
anime style in which the style has a sense of realism to it but still has a cartoony feel to it appealing to both sides.
Another way my products will appeal to my target audience that about 60% of people thought t-shirts made the best pieces
of merchandise and only 30% thought hoodies made the best pieces of merchandise and finally 10% thought both made
the best pieces of merchandise in my questioare so with that said I decide to put my design on a shirt appealing to the 70%
of those people who prefer shirts as merchandise.
A third way my products will appeal to my target audience is how my review is set out as a vast majority of people I asked in
my questionnaire prefer my video review to be set out as comedic but informative whilst I small majority prefer the review
to be strictly professional and setting it out as comedic but still informative will appeal to those who prefer it.
A final way my product will appeal to my target audience is that in my questionnaire many people said that a YouTube logo
should be simple and use bright colors but also be different enough to stand on its own which I have applied to my logo
design it is simple and uses bright colors and is different enough to stand on it own against others meaning it will appeal to
my target audience.

9. Peer
Feedback

10. Feedback 1

• The information in the review was well researched and delivered
informally but was still educational
• The designs are in keeping with the branding and all relate to the product.
• The content was visually interesting in how you portrayed the characters
with your voice overs, this worked well to be informative but also personal
which made it engaging for the listener
What improvements could have been made to the product?
• There is quite a bit of silence at the beginning, maybe cut this out or start
the music earlier.
• An age rating and offensive language warning at the beginning of the
video would be needed if this was to be placed online.
• The soundtrack in the background would have benefitted from being a
little quieter, so all dialogue is clear.

it is easier to hear the character at the beginning of he video.

13. Peer Feedback Summary
• What do you agree with from your peer feedback?
– That there needs to be a age rating and offensive language
warning at the start of the video.
– That my designs kept with the branding and related to the
product.
– That the music at the beginning needs to be turn down so
the character voices can be heard better.
• What do you disagree with from your peer feedback?
– I find myself not being able to disagree with any of the
peer feedback as all points brought up were valid and very
constructive.

14. Peer Feedback Summary
A change I would make to my product video based upon peer feedback would be to
turn down the music at the beginning of the video, and the reason for this being is that
since the music was so loud some of the character couldn't be heard easily so turning
down the music will allow the character to be heard better.
A second change I would make to my product video based on peer feedback would be
to add a age and offensive language warning at the start of the video, and the reason
for this is it cans serve as a warning to parents who don’t want their kid watching
something with offensive language in it meaning that if I was to put it onto youtube I
wouldn't get into trouble
A third and final change I would make to my product video based on peer feedback
would be to change the start of the video by adding footstep or starting the music
earlier as the reason for this is that at the start it just dead silence which can be very
awkward for some people and caused them to look at another video which is
something you don’t want when do a review as you have to keep people interested in
the first few seconds and through out.
