The document provides an evaluation of a production process. It summarizes research conducted, planning activities, time management strategies, and technical and aesthetic qualities of created products. Peer feedback was also received. The research involved annotating similar products and conducting surveys. Planning included mind mapping ideas. Time was spent utilizing software in class and completing other work at home. The technical qualities and audience appeal of a book cover, poster, and animated gif are described. Peer feedback noted the professional-looking book cover and unique character designs, but improvements could be made to readability and names. [/SUMMARY]

3. Research
• Researching the product and similar products was extremely helpful for me. Annotating different forms of similar adverts,
posters and book covers help me recognize many different key features that I needed for my products – such a slogan,
release date, authors name and a recurring theme. The only problem I could find was that annotating and breaking down
the other products was very time consuming.
• The quantitative research was very quick and easy to do: it took no time at all to come up with relevant questions for my
survey. However, I can see it been difficult to gather answers when not done in a class room environment. Also, especially in
a class room environment, you may not be able to get the right target audience for your research and have to ask people
questions in which they have no interest in – which can hinder research, which is what slightly happened with my product.
• My qualitative research was more successful than my qualitative research. I was able to ask more detailed questions and
receive well thought out and helpful answers. Even when the answers weren’t complementary to my work, I could turn
them into some helpful advice to help with my product.

4. Planning
• Planning my work was a little easier than I expected as I already had a good idea going into the project as what I wanted my
product to be and look like. Mind mapping idea for my product was probably the most useful tool, as it gave me a rough idea
of what I wanted to do but still let me have a lot of creative freedom. The style sheet was also very helpful! Because of my
quantitative research I started adding bright but earth colours into my work, and planning the fonts I was going to use and
looking at different styles really helped me pull the entire project together.
• Making the layouts wasn’t very useful – I found narrowing ideas down before the final project very stifling and would rather
of just jumped right into making it.

5. Time Management
• Knowing that it would be hard to use photo-shop outside of college (and knowing that my skills on Photoshop are very
limited so my project would need extra attention) I took the initiative and decided that I would utilise my Photoshop in
college and finish my power points on my own time.
• Even though I completed my projects on time, I still have some power points to fill in – but I do not regret not getting them
done instantly as I have included a lot of detail and that may of not been something I could of done at college. However, now
I have a lot of work to do at home.
• I did not stay on top of my personal schedule, which is okay because I find boxing myself into very specific time frames very
stifling and know it would just add unneeded extra pressure, so I didn’t pay it much attention.

6. Technical Qualities
The main title of the book is big
and noticeable, with bright and
eye-catching colours to attract
the audience.
Like my book cover, the
font is large and draws the
eye. However, this book
cover uses dark colours to
connote a sense of
seriousness. But as the
font is still bold, It draws
readers attention.
I wrote a small and
captivating blurb to tell the
audience what my story was
about and address the key
points and themes.
This blurb is a little different
than my blurb because the
book is a classic and widely
recognized, and the blurb talks
about this a little bit.
The authors name has a similar style to the title.
Harper Lee is written in a thinner font to
not distract from the main title.
This is very similar to the existing products spine
because it has the authors name, the book title
and the production company's name on it.
On both of the
covers there is a bar
code to show that it
is available in stores
there is a way to
purchase the book.

7. Technical quality's
The font is quite flowy and airy,
with bright colours to capture
the eyes of the audience. The
font on the other poster design
is hard cut and stiff, with one
solid colour making it feel really
serious.
This product is a movie poster
where as mine is a book poster.
This means there are some
differences – such as this
information box at the bottom.
My characters are dressed in
bright earth colours, whilst the
characters In divergent are
dressed in black and leather,
connoting that they are ready for
whatever is coming,
Both posters have an
outdoor scenery in the
background to display
where the story is set.
Mine is set in the woods,
where as divergent is set in
a futuristic industrial styled
city.
My release date font is
much bigger that the one of
the other poster. I’m not
sure why this is, as I thought
it was important to make
the release date stand out
so the audience knows
when the product comes
out.
Each of the poster has a slogan to promote
the film. Both address the audience to
create a personal attachment to the
product.

8. Technical quality's
Both of these products were
done using pixel art.
The characters are dressed
in much brighter colours
than the characters from
the other pixel art – it shows
that there is an age
difference between the two
sets of characters and
shows that the other
characters are much more
serious.
Because my pixel art was advertisement for a book I included a
release date. The other product wasn’t promotional and was fan
art of a show that was already out.
I included the title of my product
in the art so people would
recognize what I was advertising.
The other product does not
clearly state in it what their art is
from, which could confuse
audiences that don’t know the
show.
Both products are set
outside to show where
the story takes place.
In bother products there is an
aspect of mystery. In my product
there is big foot lurking the tree’s
and in the other product there is a
UFO hiding in the cornfield.

9. Aesthetic Qualities
I really like how the Book
cover came out. I think the
oil paint over lay on the
front cover really tied the
whole thing together and
gave the cover a cleaner,
more professional look. I
liked putting al lighter
brown font behind the
colourful font because I
believe it gave the effect of
being drawn into the
muddy footprint. Also, the
blurb looks like it is
actually written with pen
on a yellow notepad.
However, I really wish I
could of made the spine
more realistic and have
made the big foot look like
it was imbedded into the
grass.
The poster did not come out as
bright and colourful as I initially
planned it to, but I am overall
pleased with the outcome.
Painting over the tree’s a little
helped to create a similar style to
the characters and the font
chosen, but doing that was time
consuming. I didn’t include the
authors name in the poster as I
didn’t want it to look like a book
cover. I also wish I could of
included more details in the face
of the characters, but also I think
the minimalist look works for the
mystery theme of the story.
The adver-gif is my least favourite of the three, as
when using pixel animation you can not include
much detail. Creating the girl character was the
hardest bit and took almost an entire lesson, but it
was worth it to keep the pixel theme. I like how the
tree’s ended up looking and thought I included a lot
of detail when making them.

10. Audience Appeal
My audience will like the
mystery/adventure theme of
my novel, which you can see
clues of in various parts of
my projects: the blue
question marks, the hidden
eyes, the expressionless
faces.
80% of people who took my survey said that the thought
a good graphic design was important on book cover. I
think the audience will like mine because I have the
sasquatch footprint illustrated on the front.
90% of the people that took
my survey said that a good
blurb would compel them to
read a book. I think my
audience will like my blurb
because it is concise yet
detailed, and conveys a great
sense of mystery.
some parts of all of the projects are
colourful and eye-catching, which will
draw in my audience because their
youthful and enthusiastic people and will
relate to this colour scheme.

15. Peer Feedback Summary
• What do you agree with from your peer
feedback?
– I agree the my book cover looks professional because it has a clean finish and seem appealing to look
at.
– I agree that the character designs are really unique. I put a lot of effort into making the character
look original and authentic. With the pink hair, and the bright orange shirt.
– I agree that that the font on the back cover is a little bit hard to read and that the colour of the font
on the book cover could of done with being a shade darker so it didn’t blend in with the cover.
• What do you disagree with from your peer
feedback?
– I disagree that bright colours are used on the poster; for me the poster is the dullest out of the trio
and looks more pastel than bright, which doesn’t answer the question much.
– I don’t agree that I had to use my own name front of the cover because real authors use Pen names
all the time and it had never hindered sal priced.

16. Peer Feedback Summary
• I would make the blurb a font that was a little easier to read, as the hand written aspect might be too
real to see clearly in print. However, I also enjoyed the hand writing font as it seemed personal to
whoever had written and looks rather nice.
• I would darken the ‘Not A’ on the front cover of the book so it would stand out a little better on the back
ground of he muddy footprint.
