The document discusses different graphic design, video game, and radio production experiments the author conducted. For graphic design, the author created a poster advertising Coca-Cola using layers, backgrounds, and the Coca-Cola logo. For radio production, the author made a Halloween-themed Coca-Cola advertisement but notes the sound effects were too loud. For video games, the author animated a simple side-scrolling game inspired by Super Mario Bros. The author believes the poster best advertised the product due to its simplicity, and the radio advertisement was most professional due to fitting the Halloween theme through editing and voiceover.

3. Graphic Design Production
• Advantages of working in this medium
 It helps get used to the software used for future projects.
 If there was something you wanted to try and do, Photoshop is so
complex and 9 times out of 10 it is possible to do so
• Disadvantages of working in this medium
 It takes a lot of time trying to understand how to properly use
Photoshop as it is such a complex piece of software that simple things
such as resizing images because very difficult.

4. Graphic Design Production
Multiple layers and backgrounds
Artistic impression/painting
Actual photos
Both have this
logo
<-
Multiple bottles
They are both abstract

5. Graphic Design Production
Some strengths from my poster are that it
clearly advertises Coca Cola by using a
recognisable slogan, as well as multiple bottles,
further parading the Coca Cola logo.
The use of multiple layers and backgrounds as
well as the bright colours, make it stand out and
attract a younger audience
Some weakness from my poster are that the
slogan may be hard to read for someone who is
colour blind, in that respect, my entire poster
may be difficult for anyone with some sort of
colour blindness.
It also doesn’t involve much information about
Coca Cola itself, only a (out dated) slogan.

6. Radio Production
• Advantages of working in this medium
 It helps get used to the software used in radio production for future
projects.
 Planning out the ad beforehand helped us to make the ad run more
smoothly.
• Disadvantages of working in this medium
 Using new software meant a slower start as we were getting used to it
and finding out how things work.
 The multiple layers had to be in time in order for it all to run smoothly

7. Radio Production

8. Radio Production
The advertisement was themed to be released at
Halloween to advertise a Coca Cola product.
The use of surround sound was professional
The sound effects were louder than the actual voice
over, and therefore took the listeners attention
away from the advertisement.
If I was to remake it, I would make sure the sound
was better and that it was less cheesy.

9. Video Game
Experiments

10. Video Game Production
• Advantages of working in this medium
 You get to use different techniques in Photoshop and learn how to
animate.
 You can explore various ideas and see them come to life.
• Disadvantages of working in this medium
 It takes a lot of time and patience to work in pixel art, especially
working fame by frame.
 You have to come up with a creative design, based off another without
plagiarising it.

11. Video Game Production
Mine is simpler.
In both you avoid a ‘rolling’ thing.
Both involve jumping and climbing up
ladders to get to the next level.
Mine is easier as there is no score, or
anything to say that you loose,
therefore younger children may prefer
it.

12. Video Game Production
 Everything is in proportion with each other
 The colours contrast and do not clash
 The game makes sense
 It is very simple and basic
 You couldn’t use it as an actual
advert as it descriminates against
other companies, Pepsi

13. Comparison
• Which product do you believe advertises the
product the best? Why?
 The poster, as it is simpler and I think that it is more effective than the
other methods.
• Which of your products is the most
professional? Why?
 I think that the radio advert was most professional down to the fact
that the editing and the voice over fit the halloween theme that we
where going for.
