This document discusses different production techniques and experiments across graphic design, radio production, and video games. It provides advantages and disadvantages of each medium, compares examples in each category, and evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the student's own creative works. The document reflects on which pieces best advertised their subject and were most professional.

1. Production Techniques
Evaluation
Andrew Downes

2. Graphic Design Experiments

3. Graphic Design Production
• Advantages of working in this medium
– Visually pleasing
– Easy to use
• Disadvantages of working in this medium
– Could give of a bad vibe
– Gives to little information

4. Graphic Design Production
The similarities between these
pieces are that they look old and
the differneces are that one is a
cartoon and one is a real picture
for an ad at the time.

5. The strengths are that it looks colourful and old,
it’s weaknesses are that it is slightly jagged
because I tried to use the rubber to make the
edges smoother and I would change this by using
the wand to edit out the colour. All that I used to
create this piece is copy and paste and colouring
and some very shady rubbing out.

6. Radio Production
• Advantages of working in this medium
– You get a more down to Earth human feel to it
• Disadvantages of working in this medium
– Difficult to use software
– Can lose files if not saved correctly

7. Radio Production

There are only a few similarities such as we had the intro for M.I and
had the idea of using M.I intro. It is different in the way that it is a
visual ad not a radio ad and it is a promotional partner ad.

8. Radio Production
• The strengths: gives more information
• Usually get them on radio or on spotify
• The weaknesses : Some people just don’t pay
any attention to the radio
• It could be confusing if no info is given.
• Changes I would make: don’t do it on premier
• Software used: Premier it is confusing AF.

9. Video Game Experiments

10. Video Game Production
• Advantages of working in this medium
• Being able to see the product and it is easier to
edit
• Disadvantages of working in this medium
• Harder to use and turns out as if it is not very
sleek.

11. Video Game Production
The similarities between the two are
the layout and the animation however
the main dissimilarities are that
instead of barrels there are Pepsi logos
and instead of saving the woman at
the top I made it into a coke can and it
is like a pipe which the character
travels to the next stage.

12. The strengths of this piece is the ending where
the can is kind of like a pipe which the character
travels through the other strength is the
animation, however the weaknesses are only the
moving of the Pepsi logos. I would try and fix this
by turning the Pepsi logo each time it moves.
All we used is Photoshop and it’s animation
software

13. Comparison
• Which product do you believe advertises the
product the best? Why?
• I think the poster type advert was the best at
getting the point across because it actually
shows you a message and a someone to
promote it.
• Which of your products is the most
professional? Why?
• Either the poster or the Radio ad because I
put a bit more thought into the others and for
the advergame I only used ideas from old
retro games.
