Enthusiastic Car Graphics
Main area of activity:
Print – Fanzine
Rationale:
Throughout lastyear I have done a range of projects from printto audio,with that I have learnt and gained
a range of skills. However, I will be usingthe skillsin my pastprintprojects for this current projectas I will
be creatinga fanzine which is printbased.I will usethe skillsI used to make a magazine cover from a past
project. I will also usethe skills I havegained from software's likephotoshop, gimp, InDesign etc. To help
make this projectstand out from the rest of the projects I have done as this projectdecides my grade for
the year. Plus,I want this projectto show all the skills I havelearntand more throughout the years.
However, the lastprint-based projectI did was a small poster and front cover for a brochure, this will
have an impact on this current projectas I will be doingsomething a littlesimilar and I will haveto put the
skills I used for my print projectand use them all to my best of my abilities for this projectto make it
stand out from earlier projects but also to help make it appealingand engagingfor the audience.
This is becauselikeI said before I want to be ableto create this projectusingskillsto the best of my
abilities and to improve or learn new skills,I need to do it within the time I do experiments. Otherwise, it
could be too late and effect my FMP which could impactmy grade for the year and effect on whether I
make itto university or not.
Project Concept:
For my FMP project I plan to create a car graphics fanzine.The fanzinewill havetopics such as templates,
tools used, before and after designs etc. The reason I have chosen to do a fanzine is becauseI likedoing
print-based projects and becauseis based around something I find passionateabout.
The research I need to look at is car graphics,softwareused to create car templates, the tools used to
apply and remove car wrap,types of car wrap etc. This research will help me with my project because it
is goingto be a fanzinebased around the car graphics and howthe designs are made and put on the cars
etc. It will also giveme a better understandingabout each section I am researching but also in the area I
have an interest in.
I am also thinking of creating a survey to complete with people I know from different ages to get ideas
around whether they have a car, types of designs they would be interested in, cars in general etc. This will
then help me to build on the information and images to put on my fanzine as I want to ensure I can capture
my audience’s attention. It will also give me a better understanding of who my audience is, and I can try
and be in their mindset when creating this project.

However, I will have to take into consideration that due to the covid 19 crisis I could be restricted to some
things as I will be working from home. So, I will have to be prepared in case anything changes, which could
also affect how this project goes and the outcome of the project.
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed?
When itcomes to evaluating my work, I plan to talk about the good and the bad, time management and
any improvements I would make. I will gain feedback from my peers and tutor on my work to help me
improve alongthe way before everything has to be submitted. However, I will be evaluating the
project throughout makingthe project. This is so that when I come to evaluate itat the end, I will
have enough to talk about.
