The document proposes a project to create an advertising campaign for a fake band or music festival. The target audience would be males aged 18-30 from social grades C1 to D. Research would include analyzing existing advertising, conducting surveys and interviews, and exploring band/venue styles. The project schedule outlines tasks over 10 weeks, including product design, evaluation, and improvements. References would include websites on music festivals, concert posters, ticket security, and album packaging design.

Working Title:
Fake (gig/ festival/ band) - Using the name Fake is a satire element to the project to show that it
doesn’t really matter what I call it due to it not being a real product.
Audience:
The audience that I will target in my project is primarily going to be males around 18 - 30 year olds,
this is because I will be making advertisements for a band. So because I am around my target
audience’s age I will be able to structure my project to this audience more easily as I know what
attracts them to places. I chose this age range also because this is the age that people start going
out to gigs and to clubs and it is also before they age that they will stop going out to clubs and
gigs. Even though my main audience is males it won’t exclude females from the product and will
still be aim to entice them to the same product. I will aim my advertisement at people in the social
grade C1 to D as this is primarily students who are much more likely to go out drinking at clubs
and gigs. It is also because people are more likely to live in areas where there are clubs like these
that are easy to get to and have a safe feel for students to enjoy themselves with music playing.
The psychographic of my audience experiencer because they are more likely to go to gigs as they
want to meet new people, be entertained and hear new music, so aiming for people like this will
mean my project has a clear focus.
Rationale
My skills over the year have progressed over the course of a year. However my organisation has
not really improved, especially my timing and schedules have been created but I am not great at
following them however I will work on this in this project as timing will be important and will help me
to improve my work. I am much better at communicating verbally as I find giving information
easier when I am able to explain it face to face, but I would still write information down. This is
most common when working in groups or with others as I find it easier to tell people my plans and
ideas rather than to email them to people. My teamwork skills were not very tested this year as I
often found it easier to work on my own, however when I did I often lead the group, for example
when I we worked on the IRN-BRU project I worked behind the camera and organised the group to
get the right shots. My print was most enjoyable as I like to work on graphics and with cameras, I
also already had a bit of skill when it came to these areas, it may not have been my strongest
project but I intend to develop my work more this time. The short film was possibly my weakest
project, even though I enjoy working with cameras I prefer to take photos rather than video. I also
find editing tedious and unenjoyable. Video games was my strongest project by far, However was
possibly my least favourite as I found animation tedious and boring, however a big part of the
project was asset creation which I did really enjoy and is a really strong skill of mine. This is
because I have used Photoshop a lot creating posters and characters before especially in my
GCSEs creating a board game for a graphics project. I also have developed skills using light room
however this is when I wasn’t in education so had no help from a teacher so there is definitely
room to improve which I intend to do over this project.
Project Concept
The concept for my project is to create an advertisement campaign for club or for a band gig. It
will function as a way to bring students and others into the club to buy tickets to see a band for
example. The function will be a range of materials such as posters tickets t-shirts and cd covers
with the intent in getting people interested in paying money to see this band. This project will be
used for a portfolio to show where my skills lie and to show potential employers where my
strengths are. I do not currently have any inspirations for my project but when I do my research I
will be exploring artists that have unique designs in their work that are engaging, but fit their genre
of music well. When doing my research I will be looking at who my target audience are, I will be
focussing on what they like from a club design and what they primarily like to do when there, this is
because I will be able to base my whole design around this, focussing on the biggest draws to a
club people have. I will also be researching the style of old and modern adverts and see what
ideas I can use to create mine. Depending on my final planned designs I may have to watch
tutorials on Photoshop to learn how to do certain effects, for example how to design and create a
t-shirt. I will also have to watch tutorials and research how best to marketing and find what
techniques are best when it comes to trying to sell a band or venue. Any pictures that I use in this
design I will obtain from a collection of photos I have taken of people or people have taken of me,
this will mean I have much more creative freedom as I will own all the images, if however I do not
have a certain image that I need I will have to set the image up in a college studio.

Evaluation
I intend to evaluate my work by using peer feedback, this is because the only true way to know if
my advertising is effective is by testing how the public would react to them. I will also compare my
material to that of companies that already exist and see how effective mine is in comparison. I will
also evaluate how effective my planning and time management was.
