1) The document evaluates a poster the author created for a "Smile Campaign" project aimed at improving mental health in their community. 2) Due to coronavirus lockdowns, the author was only able to complete the poster and not a planned TV advertisement, and had to create the poster in Publisher instead of Photoshop due to limited resources at home. 3) The author believes the colorful, easy-to-read poster achieves the goals of the brief by highlighting how music can help reduce stress and improve mental health, a topic they felt would appeal to most teenagers.
