This document discusses pre-production planning for promoting a rock band, including designing merchandise and promotional materials. Several fonts are considered for different elements, and the logo, t-shirt, and poster designs are outlined. Feedback on initial designs is provided, noting ways to improve the professionalism and clarity. A schedule is included to allocate one day each to designing the logo, t-shirt, CD cover, and poster, with additional days to refine details and complete the projects. Potential issues and solutions are also addressed, such as computer problems, storage limitations, and health and safety concerns.

1. Pre-Production

2. Style sheet
I like this font because it has a graffiti style, this could be one of the fonts
that I use because I think it will go well for a rock band.
I don’t think this font will be any good for a header. Especially the font
for a rock band. This will be good for a sub font on a poster.
This font will be good for something to do with a holiday. I like this font but
I wont use it for my project
I will most likely be using this font on the poster to promote the band. This
font always catches peoples eye and also it is easy to read.
This font will be good for a logo because it is very easy to read and I think
it stands out from any others.
This font would be good for a headline or something that you want to stand out at the top
of the page. I will not be using this font because I don’t think it will fit with my product.
I will not be using this font because it is already an existing font from a
popular movie. You could use this as a title for a poster.
The colours that are in the
colour scheme would
represent fire because of
the orange and yellow. The
text would work well in
purple because it will stand
out with a bright outline.

3. Layout 1 - logo
At the moment this logo
looks very simple because
it is made in powerpoint.
This will look much better
when it is done in
photoshop because I will
create an outline for the
font and make it all attach.
Also another way I will
make it look better is to get
rid of the white
background so it gives it
more of a professional
look. The name that is as
the font is not the name of
the band, it is the name of
the font so I will remember
it when I come to make the
final logo. I will make the
circles on the edges blend
in better to the actual logo.

This t-shirt will more than likely come in different colours so the audience have a
different variety of t-shirts to purchase. I will make the image of the front of the t-
shirt look much better because people will not want to buy a product that is very
simple. The only reason they would buy something simple is if they really like the
band or the merchandise is cheap. I have added the ltour dates onto the back of
the shirt but I will make sure I put the actual four dates and location on the real
product.

I will be keeping the poster
simple so it is easy to
understand. I will be putting
the developed logo at the
top of the page so the
audience will know that the
poster is representing that
band. I will have a main
image behind everything so
that the audience looking at
the poster will know it is rock
because that’s what the
image will be. I will have all
the tour dates and where the
location is on the poster but I
will make them stand out
more on the actual poster so
people know exactly where
that are.
