Vegetarian products have developed some common design aesthetics over time:
- Natural/organic: Many vegetarian brands emphasize natural, organic, and plant-based ingredients. Designs often feature images of fresh produce, grains, and herbs to convey these qualities. Earth tones like greens, browns and beiges are frequently used.
- Minimalist: Since vegetarian products aim to remove animal ingredients, designs sometimes take a minimalist approach focusing only on the core plant ingredients. Typography and imagery are clean and simple. Additional information is kept to a minimum.
- Wellness/health: Emphasizing the perceived wellness benefits of vegetarianism, designs may feature words like "healthy," "nutritious"
Katie designed several variations of recipe cards for a summer-themed client. She experimented with different fonts, colors, layouts, and elements like borders and images. The strengths of her designs included bright, contrasting colors; clear, easy-to-read layouts; and creative elements relating to the summer theme. Potential weaknesses included a lack of additional photos and nutritional information. For her second idea, she focused more on incorporating the recipe colors and tested different fonts, layouts, and a border of sun and flower images. While the designs fit the summer theme well, she could further improve them by adding more colors and descriptive adjectives to the recipe titles.
This document summarizes a student's recipe card project evaluation. The student discusses designing the recipe cards to look like realistic school work with busy details. Photos were taken by the student and stock images were used. Colors, fonts, and added details like ink splotches were meant to evoke the feeling of doing school work. The intended audience is middle-aged adults who would feel nostalgic looking at school-themed cards. Influences included actual school materials like blackboards. The theme appeals to the target demographic and influences included the client, the Vegetarian Society.
The student created recipe cards for VegSoc that were designed to appeal to a target audience of middle-aged, middle-class people, mainly women. Key design elements included stock photographs of dishes, a repeated foliage graphic chosen for its connotations of nature and health, and a balanced use of color picked from the photographs. Feedback from peers helped improve elements like making the VegSoc logo more prominent. Overall, the technical quality of the final products is strong as they form a cohesive set while still allowing for individual color schemes on each card. The design reflects the brief's request for "interesting and creative designs" and matches the typical aesthetic of vegetarian products through its use of natural colors and nature imagery.

This document analyzes the layout, design, and target audiences of various recipe cards and books. It finds that most have a consistent layout with the finished product photo on one side and the recipe on the other, along with minimalist design elements like a consistent color scheme. However, some cards designed for specific audiences or occasions diverge from this basic template by using more creative graphics, fonts, or colors. The document concludes that while keeping a simple, clear layout is best for recipe instructions, some customization may be needed to effectively target different age groups or seasonal themes.
The layout of the recipe cards has been kept simple yet professional, featuring minimal information on the front such as the title, image, and logo. The back contains the full recipe and a small decorative image. Consistency is maintained across cards through similar layout, colors, fonts, and logo/image placement. Some areas could be improved, such as ensuring consistent image and font sizes. The images are a mix of original photos and stock images to balance quality with limited time and resources. Colors, themes, and images aim to appeal to the target audience of teenage girls by featuring heart shapes, the word "love", and the symbolism of Cupid.
The document proposes three different themes for recipe cards:
1. "Vegetarianism for Dummies" featuring simple recipes like pastas, pizzas, and casseroles appealing to new vegetarians aged 18-30. The cards will have a yellow and black color scheme in the style of "For Dummies" books.
2. Recipes aimed at children becoming vegetarian or whose parents are vegetarian, featuring foods like pizzas, muffins, and finger foods. The cards will use bright primary colors and feature child-friendly images and fonts.
3. An "Easter" themed set of cards shaped like eggs featuring recipes like curries and roasts. The cards will use past
The document provides an evaluation of Hannah Mizen's recipe card project. It discusses the visual design choices made, including the layout, image to text ratio, and simplistic style. The goal was to appeal to vegetarians by emulating a school notebook aesthetic with neat organization and imperfect elements like stains.

Stephanie Westerman provided initial ideas and received feedback for recipe cards with different themes. The key ideas proposed color schemes, printing methods, fonts, layouts, media, foods, and target audiences. Feedback agreed the vegetarian card's colors and meal/dessert suited the theme. Developing the girly card's font was disagreed with as too fancy for young girls. Stephanie's favorite ideas were the wedding/Christmas card for its reusability and the organic card for its all year use by both genders.
The group decided on a global culture theme where each recipe card would represent a different country or region and feature a vegetarian recipe from that culture. The cards would have die cuts at the top in the shape of famous landmarks to identify the culture and use colors associated with that region. The target audience is males and females aged 18-30 living urban lifestyles who want new recipe ideas.

The finished products reflected initial plans through experimenting with fonts, colors, and imagery to appeal to elderly audiences.
The document summarizes the production process of creating a set of vegetarian recipe cards for a general audience. Key points:
- The initial designs used bright colors but did not work cohesively, so a simpler color scheme was adopted using greens.
- Images were taken but some were low quality, so stock images were also used. Not all images matched well.
- Feedback noted the cards did not work as a set due to varying colors, so a consistent design was applied.
- Planning and managing time well allowed feedback to be incorporated and the standard required to be met. Better planning of images is needed for future projects.
This document summarizes the creation of a recipe card. The creator divided the page into two sections for the front and back of the card. On the front, an image, title, vegetarian society logo, and banner were added. The back included the ingredients and method, noting the dish was suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Various fonts and colors were used to make the card exciting for its target audience. Images of the finished dish were also included to show what it would look like complete. Overall, the card matched the specifications of the target audience but a more interesting recipe may have been better.
The final recipe card idea focuses on the theme of spring using greens and earthy browns to resemble foliage and bark. The recipe will feature green vegetables and brightly colored fruits. A vegetarian wine suggestion will also be included. The target audience is females aged 18-34, and the design will use bold colors, white space, and simple instructions. Production methods aim to use recycled and biodegradable vegetable inks, with biodegradable laminate protection. This idea was selected as it had the strongest theme that tied all elements together around spring and fresh ingredients.
The document discusses the design and production process of recipe cards aimed at children ages 4-13. The author designed 5 different layouts and chose a simple design with a large image on the back and title, image, ingredients, and method on the front. Bright, bold colors were used to attract the target audience. Stock images were chosen to look professional. Feedback helped improve font readability and color contrast. The final cards met the brief and effectively targeted children through their visual design.

The final idea for the recipe card is centered around a spring theme using greens and earthy browns. It aims to target a female audience aged 18-34 with a salad recipe incorporating green vegetables and brightly colored fruits. The card will have clear, bold colors and simple instructions. It will be produced using recycled and biodegradable inks and laminated with a biodegradable laminate. Additionally, it will include a suggestion for a vegetarian wine to accompany the meal. This idea was chosen as it was felt to have the strongest theme that tied all elements together cohesively.
Katie Torpey is proposing two different themes for recipe cards - "summertime" and "Italian".
For the summertime theme, she will include recipes for salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes, quiches, pizzas, and desserts like trifle, yogurt, ice pops, ice cream and smoothies. The cards will use bright summer colors and images of the sun, sky, flowers and grass.
For the Italian theme, she will feature pasta, pizza, bread and soup recipes as well as desserts like tiramisu and cheesecake. The cards will prominently feature the colors of the Italian flag and images related to Italian culture.
Both themes are

The document provides details about the production of print-based recipe cards. It discusses the layout, images, fonts, and text-to-image ratio used for the cards. High resolution images were obtained from Google to provide professional quality. A simple yet sophisticated layout and minimal color palette were used. Feedback indicated the font could be difficult to read against faded backgrounds, so its size was increased. Overall the cards effectively targeted multiple audiences through theme, color, and recipe choices.

This document summarizes Henry Buckham's evaluation of recipe card designs he created for Creative Media Production 2013. The designs opted for a simple yet stylish layout featuring large front cover photos and indicators of skill level and difficulty. Feedback noted the initial back design was too simplistic, lacking aesthetics, so Henry evolved the design to include tilted photos and faded foliage decorations. The finished products reflect the brief's requirements and incorporate peer feedback to improve technical and aesthetic qualities through techniques like drop shadows, strokes and textures. Henry gained skills in design evolution and consistency that can apply to future projects.
The document discusses the design process and outcomes of creating recipe cards. It describes:
- Choosing a design with a large picture and nutrient table on the back, with ingredients, instructions, and a smaller picture on the front based on audience feedback.
- Issues taking original photos led to using some stock images, though the overall design stayed consistent.
- The use of colors like green and bright hues to catch attention and match the vegetarian society branding.
- Skills gained include teamwork, planning alternatives, critical thinking, decision making, and cooperative working that could be applied to future projects.
1) The document discusses four different layout designs for a tabloid newspaper mock layout.
2) The first design has the advertisement at the top and uses columns for the copy. The second places more emphasis on the large image and has a higher text to image ratio.
3) The third layout uses a more traditional design with masthead, headline and image on the right with wrapping text.
4) The fourth contemporary design pushes boundaries with a minimal caption and large centered image and advertisement.
The document discusses layout design for magazine articles using InDesign. It describes using grids and margins to structure the layout and place elements correctly. Headers, drop caps, and baseline spacing are tested in different layouts to attract readers' attention and make the text appear denser. Font choices are considered in terms of masculinity/femininity and their effect on different audiences. Overall the layouts are assessed as dull due to a lack of color and complexity in the mock-ups. Further extension tasks experiment with overlapping elements and different page configurations.
This document provides an analysis of three different informational posters or leaflets. It evaluates the design, language, and content of each document. For the first document about pet store animals, it notes the use of images and red colors to grab attention, as well as short sentences. It finds the information is one-sided against pet stores. For the diabetes poster, it analyzes the blue and white colors, bold font, and clear bullet points. It says information is accurate but biased against the disease. For the abortion poster, it discusses the use of red, white and green colors and a baby image. It finds the language formal but could be more concise. In all cases, it checks the documents against codes of practice
The document discusses the author's experience creating mock layouts using InDesign. It describes using grids, margins, columns and different font styles. The author notes some limitations of the mock layouts, like a lack of color and interactivity. Goals for future iterations include making the designs more visually appealing and technically advanced. Extension tasks involve creating layouts with non-standard dimensions and overlapping text/images.
This document provides an analysis of the layout, design elements, and stylistic choices made in four magazine articles or spreads. It discusses the use of margins, columns, grids, large initial letters, page numbers, and other conventions in Q Magazine, Marc Jacobs magazine, Elle Magazine, and Cara's Magazine. The analysis focuses on design principles like organization, hierarchy, flow, and the use of images, text, and white space to engage the reader.
Media bias has become more prevalent as viewers increasingly rely on media to shape their opinions on political and social issues. Journalists can claim bias by saying they are sticking to a "side" and only discussing one subject rather than multiple perspectives, and some bias is obvious like only stating the good parts of an issue and one bad thing. The information consumed from media is akin to an injection that automatically sends the viewer a message about a topic.
This document analyzes a leaflet about discouraging pet purchases from pet stores. It notes the leaflet uses images of dogs in kennels and puppies with a caption saying "puppies are dying" to make audiences feel guilty. Red and black text is used to convey seriousness. Red bullet points signal potentially distressing information. The leaflet avoids ambiguity but is biased against pet stores by only mentioning the negatives. It provides no evidence to support its arguments and does not reference sources. In summary, the document evaluates the design, language use, and factual accuracy of an advocacy leaflet discouraging pet store purchases.
The document summarizes the student's experimental photography project. The student created collage images mixing photos of two subjects within triangular compositions. When creating the images manually, a mistake led to an unexpected but successful design. Scanning the images allowed the student to add texture and a vintage look in Photoshop. Overall, the student is pleased with the minimalist yet interesting final pieces and feels they fulfilled the assignment requirements by taking aesthetic, technical, and experimental approaches.
The document provides an analysis and evaluation of experimental photography work by the author. It discusses the creative process, influences, techniques, and outcomes of creating four composite photographic images. Key points include:
- The final images came out as expected or better, though with some unexpected elements that worked well. Manual creation and scanning allowed for creativity.
- Influences included artists David Hockney and John Stezaker. Styles from both were incorporated, such as collages with mixed subjects.
- Editing in Photoshop added lines, textures, and tones for aesthetic effect. Weak points may be confusion over mixed subjects, but the work fulfills the brief and experimental goals.

The document summarizes the student's final imagery project. It discusses how the student manually created collages with triangles made of smaller shapes and subjects, which were then scanned and edited digitally. The student experimented with techniques like channel mixing and adding white outlines. While some elements like the small collage pieces could be confusing, the student is overall pleased with the minimalist, vintage aesthetic achieved. Room for further improvement includes developing a stronger holographic effect and considering alternate angles. The work fulfills the assignment requirements through a variety of manual and digital media.
Steph Westerman is proposing a photo project that involves taking portraits of family members with their favorite pet incorporated into the image. She will take pictures of each pet separately and cut and tile the pet images onto the person's face and body to give the portrait a textured look. She will then alter the colors and contrast to make the images look pale and vintage. Her target audience is teenagers and young adults who would appreciate this artistic style that is similar to images seen on CD covers.
1. Evaluation
Producing Print Based Media
Visual Language:
Composition
I have decided to set out my recipe cards in a format that looks neat, tidy and quite
simplistic. I have decided to use 4 pictures on the front covers of the cards; these
images included the ingredients of the recipes and also the final image of the
product. I decided to do this so that the audience knew exactly what they were
making. As I had quite a lot of images on my recipe cards I decided that I needed to
equal this out using quite bait of text. I decided to put my images on the front cover
using not much text except the title of the product. I then decided to put all my text on
the back of the recipe cards. I think doing this evened out and make my recipe cards
have the same text/image ratio however if I was to improve the composition I would
maybe improve it by adding text on the front of the card and maybe adding images
on the back of the recipe cards would improve the composition and equal the layout
even more. It would also give my audience the chance to look at images whilst they
are making the recipes.
I think that my recipe cards are set out quite simplistically I have done this by not
putting too much photographs on and also not adding too much text. I think if I added
too much text then my recipe cards would become to look messy and very busy.
This could put the audience off reading the recipes as it will look very messy it will
also give the impression to the audience that the recipes are long and complicated to
make. I have decided to set the layout of each card the same including having the
same images in the same place and also having the ingredients and the method in
the same position. Doing this allowed my recipe cards too look neat and well-
ordered.
Image Construction
Discuss the contents of your final images and reflect upon decisions made.
In my recipe cards I decided to use a range of different photographs. I think doing
this shows the audience of what to include and what the final product is going to look
like I also think that applying images onto my recipe cards will persuade and interest
the audience as most people enjoy looking at images whilst making a recipe. Each
recipe card I have included 4 images of the product and the ingredients. I decided to
include 4 images so that there was a range of different views of the final product. My
theme was summer, and I used a consistent format throughout my recipe cards
which was circles and curves so I decided to put my images in a circle shape. I think
this made the images more interesting and unique. I got my images of Google and I
had a look through all the images and picked the best quality images. I added a
stroke to each of my images and this made my images look bold and stand out. The
colour of the stroke depended on the colour of the cards.
2. Representation
Discuss the semiotics and connotations created from the content you have
included.
As I have decided to use very high quality images and my images include
photographs of the ingredients of the product I think that the representation of my
images presents the recipe to be very luxurious and it also looks very tasty I think
that it is presented like this in the images. I think that using high quality images
presents the food to look better and also persuade the audience to cook the recipe. I
decided to use circles and curves within my recipe cards because I think that this
presents creativity I also think that it fits in with my theme of summer. I decided to
use the same colour as my recipes were presented in (for example I used reds/pink
for my raspberry sorbet as raspberries are also red and pink). I used a wide range of
colours within the set of my recipe cards which included yellow, red, blue and green.
I think using different colours made my set of recipe cards look bright and interesting.
Even though that I used different colours in my recipe cards I made sure that it was
still clear that they was a set. I think using the colours to represent my recipes was a
good idea as it shows to the audience what each recipe is. The audience will also be
able to identify which recipe is which. I decided to use bright colours as my theme is
summer so this represents this. I also added borders on each of my recipe cards
which was small images of suns. I decided to do this so that the audience realised
that these recipes are great in summer.
Audiences:
Create an audience profile of your chosen demographic
I decided to design my 4 recipe cards towards the younger/middle generation of
vegetarians, such as 10-30 year olds. These recipes are made for summer in warm
weather so I think that the main place where people will enjoy my recipe cards will be
in hot countries and in hot places in England where catches the most sun. I have
selected a NRS Social Grade for my audience as they range from quite young ages.
My recipes cards are aimed at boys and girls as I have used a range of recipes
which can be suitable for boys and girls. I have also not specifically used the gender
colour in my recipe cards I have used a range of colours. I think the people who will
enjoy my recipe cards will be people who are bored of eating the same recipes and
meals all the time. These recipe cards range different meals from savoury to sweet. I
think that the people who will enjoy my recipe cards will be people who are energetic
and motivated and are interested in having a light snack before exercising.
3. How have you constructed your work to appeal to this audience?
This is one example of one of my recipe cards and how I have made my recipe cards
suitable towards my audience.
What did you use as your design influences and why were they chosen?
Before I started creating the production for the recipe card I researched and found
different recipe cards. I got some of my ideas from other existing products. I also got
my ideas from the internet and different recipe websites which were aimed at my
audience. I got the colour scheme and the layout from online websites. I decided to
chose the designs and the colours that I did because I think that they advertise the
product well whilst at the same time making the product look fun to make.
Historical and Cultural Context:
Interesting, fun
text that will
make audience
interested.
I have used
a attention-
grabbing
text for the
back of the
recipe cards
as well
which will
make the
audience
more
interested in
reading the
recipes.
I have added a sun border on the
edge of my recipe cards to represent
the theme of summer.
I have decided to put my
images in circle shapes and put
a circle background behind the
images I think that this looks
more appealing to my audience
I also think it brings more
attention to the images.
I used a
sophisticated
border at the
bottom of my
recipe card
pages to give
them more of a
professional
and classy
look.
Used words that will be
understood by young generation
such as veggie.
4. Do vegetarian products have a specific design aesthetic and how does your
project reflect/contrast this? Why?
I think that most vegetarian products, meals and recipes have a specific design to
show that they are suitable for vegetarians. I think these include having a V or
vegetarian society logo. This reflects on my recipe cards as I have included a small
logo of the vegetarian society so that my audience know it is suitable for vegetarians.
Another specific point which most vegetarian products have is having a green
design. This is so that people can tell straight away who it is aimed at. Vegetarians
are associated with the colour green as it’s the colour of most vegetables. This also
reflects on my recipes cards as I have used the colour green on one of my recipe
cards.
Finished Products:
Does your finished product reflect your initial plans? How? If there are any
differences, describe why changes were made.
My Plan Finished Product
My initial plans didn’t go to plan when I was carrying out the production process I
came up with new ideas and decided to develop from the feedback that I was given.
In my initial plans I was going to have different colours on my recipe cards including
yellow, red and green. However I decided that this made the card look quite messy
and complicated so I decided to stick with 1 main colour per card however then
change the different shades of the colour. I also changed my fonts on my final recipe
card. I have changed the font titles to more of a bolder font with a shadow so it
stands out; I also changed the other fonts, instead of having Arial as the main copy I
decided to have more of a creative font. Another difference in the recipe cards is the
layout of the images. On my initial plans I was going to have one large image of the
finished product. However I decided to take on board the feedback and add more
images on the front of the recipe cards. I think that this shows more of the product
and the ingredients. One of the similarities which I have kept is using a border of
suns. This shows that the theme is summer and they are meals to be enjoyed in the
warm weather.
5. Does your finished product match what you were set in the brief? How?
I do believe that my finished product of all my recipe cards matches the brief that we
was given at the start of the project in different ways this include creating a new
unique and creative design of recipe cards I think I have doing this because my
recipe cards look professional and high quality standard. I have made sure that the
theme looks creative by using different shapes, fonts and decorative images. The
vegetarian society asked for all the recipe cards to be made and shown that they are
in a set. I have made sure that I have completed this by keeping the same theme,
layout and format throughout each card. The only things which I changed were the
text, the colour scheme and the images. I believe that my images are high quality as
none of them look blurry or low quality and I also think that my images advertise the
food. I followed the correct presentation method of presenting the ingredients
method by using metric measurements rather than imperial. I have made sure that
every recipe is suitable for vegetarians and I have also included a vegan recipe in
my set of recipe cards therefor I think that I have fulfilled the brief.
How did the use of peer feedback help you in your production?
I think that the peer feedback that I got give was useful as it gave me information
about what other people thought about my recipe cards. An example of where I
decided to take on board the peer feedback and change my recipe card is when a
peer stated that I could improve my recipe cards by making some of the text a
different, darker colour I agreed with this point made as some of the text on the
yellow recipe card was quite hard to read as it was the similar shade of colour. I
decided to make this colour a darker yellow so that it was more noticeable and so
that my audience would be able to understand and read my recipe cards. Another
point made of how I could improve my recipe cards was by using a more formal font.
That would appeal to an older audience I decided that this wasn’t needed however I
did change to font to make it look more suitable to older people by adding a stroke
and a drop shadow this made my text stand out more and made it much more
refined.
6. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your final product regarding its
technical and aesthetical qualities.
I think that there have been many success’s of my final recipe card set. I think that
my successes of making this recipe card includes carrying out a very stylish and
consistent theme throughout creating my recipe cards. I decided to do the layout of
curves as I think that this makes my recipe cards looks creative. I firstly decided to
get a curved border from Google images. Instead of using the exact border I used
the magic wand tool and changed the colour of each section in the curved border. I
made every border the same size and shape however changed the colour of the
border to fit in with the design of each recipe card. I think that adding this border on
my recipe cards makes it look more professional. I also decided to create a circle
shape to put my images in. To do this in Photoshop I used a ellipse tool to create a
circle I then put my image layer on top of the circle layer and then clicked ‘create
clipping mask’. This then allowed my image to be in the shape of the circle. I did this
for all the different images on my recipe card to make them look the same and so
that it was clear they was part of a set. I think that the layout of my recipe cards is
clear and understandable so I think this is another success of my recipe cards.
Some of the weaknesses of my recipe cards include that it uses the same colours on
my recipe cards. Even though that each individual card has a different colour on it. I
think that I could use different colours on the cards such as adding a yellow or a blue
to contrast so it makes the recipe cards look more interesting. Another weakness I
think that occurred when making my recipe cards is when I tried to make the images
and the borders ad the text the same size and in the same place. I thought that this
was a weakness as my audience may be able to tell that not all the images and the
layouts are in a accurate place I think I could improve this next time when making my
recipe cards. I don’t think that in my set of recipe cards it is that clear what the theme
is which is summer. To improve this I think I could include more images of summer,
suns and hot weather to show the audience that he recipes are suitable for summer.
7. Production Processes
Do you believe your work is creative and technically competent? Why?
I think that in some ways my work is creative and artistic in the different formats I
have used and also the way I have used the images. I think the way I have stuck to
one colour however changing the different shades from dark and light makes the
image look professional. I also think that the way I have used a drop shadow and
stroke makes the main title of the dish looks impressive. To create my border I used
suns and put them on the sides of the recipe cards I think that this makes my recipe
card look more creative and interesting. I think the quality of the images which I used
is very high and clear to what the recipe is. Instead of using one main image of the
dish I decided to use 4 I think that this makes my recipe cards look inventive.
How effectively did you manage your time?
I managed my time by following my schedule by making sure everything was
completed to the best standard it could be and by following my schedule day-by-day
to make sure that everything was on time. My recipe cards took quite abit longer
than expected as I didn’t realise how long it would take to create the border for my
recipe cards. I thought that it would take a couple of hours however instead it ended
up taking a day or two too finish the border and the format on my recipe cards.
Although that it took longer I still made sure that I had time to finish everything as I
left myself contingency time incase anything went wrong.
What skills/knowledge have you gained/developed in this project? How could
these be applied in future practice?
I have learnt a range of different skills that I could use in different projects these
including working like I was in a professional environment, this is because I was
given a brief at the start of the project it was my task to make sure that my finished
product matched everything which was on the brief and also making sure that my
project was completed on time. This experience of making sure that projects are
completed on time can be applied in future practice if I was working for a client and
they needed me to completed a project this has given me relevant experience and
knowledge that I need to completed a project on time otherwise I will suffer
consequences. I have learnt a wide range of skills of making sure that a product is
suitable for a target audience otherwise it will not sell, this can also be applied in
future practice if a client needed me to make a product for children then I would have
to make sure that everything was appropriate for the children. When carrying out this
project I also changed my audience by making my recipe cards suitable for children.
In this process I had to change the layout, the font, the colours and also the
language which I used in my recipe cards. This is good experience as it puts me in a
situation as if I had to change my target audience quickly. It shows that I can work
quickly on time and too a professional standard.
8. If you could repeat the process what would you do differently?
I would make sure that my recipe cards fit in with my theme more. I think that my
theme of summer was quite hard to show in recipe cards. Although that I have
relevant recipes that are suitable for summer it was quite hard to show the theme in
pictures and the colours.
Working to a Brief in the Creative Media Industries
Constraints Experienced:
What constraints did you encounter and how did you consider/avoid them?
Legal Constraints
Copyright of images could’ve became a problem when making my recipe cards as
copying someone’s images can cause issues however I made sure that it was
avoided by changing the images and also getting them from a free website which
allowed me to use the images for personal use. Another legal constraint was the
copy right of recipes, I made sure that the recipes I used could be used by other
people and that I wasn’t creating any issues when using the recipes.
Regulatory Constraints
I made sure that I didn’t come across any regulatory constraints in this project by
making sure that my project was controlled by health and safety regulations and also
other law regulations that may of occurred.
Financial Constraints
In this project there were many financial issues that could’ve occurred including the
cost of ingredients, Photoshop and other software, the cost of images and also the
printing costs. I managed to avoid this as this project was free however if I was
carrying out this then I would have to create a budget and manage my money to pay
for the project.
9. Management:
How did you work as part of a group?
I worked in an individual for this project however this was quite a challenge as I had
to lead the whole project by myself and take in charge and also make my own
decisions. Working as an individual allowed me to create my own ideas and develop
them also by getting feedback from other peers this allowed me to decide on the
designs for my recipe cards. A disadvantage of working as an individual included
that it was all down to me. I had to rely on myself and I didn’t get any other support
or help from a person in a group.
How important is communication when working in a group?
(Use specific examples from working in a group on this project)
Communication is important when working in a group as it is important that different
ideas are shared. Another aspect about why it’s important to communicate in a group
is that it allows different ideas to be developed and improved as the people in the
group will have different ideas about different things so helping each other will give
the advantage of making the designs better. Another important factor to why it’s
important to communication in a group is that if anything goes wrong then
communicating within the group will help solve issues and problems that could occur.
What have you learnt about working in to a brief and how will you apply this to
future practice?
I have learnt that working to a brief is very important and to make sure that the
project is completed and everything asked by the client is completed in the project.
The brief states what the client wants and how I need to work so I have learnt the
importance and I have also learnt the organisation of working to a brief that
everything need to be included in the project to make sure that the clients product is
accomplished to what they wanted it to be. I could use this experience of working to
a brief in future practice if I become a freelance journalist or other media freelancer I
will now know how to approach the brief and I will know how to complete a project by
making sure that the client is satisfied.
