Dates for festival
The hand drawn drafts and graphic layouts gives me an idea of what format would be
more suitable to use for my festival as it needs to appeal to the target audience and
enables me to see if the ideas that I have drawn out work well in a graphic layout.

Campaign message
The campaign message for my festival that I am
implying to the target audience is ‘New Music
Hits’. This campaign message connotes to the
audience how the music is best played live and
why it is worth attending. In addition, this
campaign message will convince the audience to
attend the festival along with the line-up as it all
links perfectly for it to be a success.

House Style
• My house style for my festival poster will need to be aesthetically
pleasing as well as appealing to the audience. This is why I have
chosen colours that are light but at the same time bold as this
needs to be a festival which is unforgettable and where everyone
will have the best experience possible. In addition, I will be using a
light background such as a sunset which will contrast with the font
and colour of the font that is used. Also, the fact that the festival is
set in the summer time, the sunset background represents the
emotion summer intends to put upon people so how if reflects a
relaxing, joyful and energetic emotion. With the font, it will be
consistent in terms of using bold font so that it is able to stand out
especially with those looking at the poster and the names of the
artists performing would be shown by using their own logo names
so that it is easier for the artists to identify which artists’ logo it is
that is due to perform at the festival.

Own photos
These images that are displayed have all been taken by myself and they all relate as
they are all sunsets but taken in different locations as well as different orientations. The
top left image is most suited because it fits all the connotations needed for an
appealing background for my festival poster.

Proof-reading and Sub-editing
• For proof-reading, the text that is displayed on the
festival poster especially the location in where the
festival will take place, which artists are the headliners,
the links in where to obtain tickets and which
companies are sponsoring the festival. Those who will
check for these mistakes would be the writer and
editor as it is their job to ensure that the text written is
correct, accurate and is clearly displayed on the poster.
• For sub-editing, the writer and editor will be
responsible for this as they ensure that all the text
displayed on the festival poster is precise and accurate.
This includes the dates of the festival as this is
important for the audience to be informed about.

Printing Quotes and Costs
References
http://www.alocalprinter.co.uk/uk/posters/
This screenshot displays the
pricing of A4 and A3 posters
depending on the quantity that is
chosen. As I have chosen a
quantity of 200 posters in the size
A4, the total cost would be
£40.00 exc. VAT which is cost
effective as this is a cheap price
especially for festival posters that
will be distributed nationwide but
copies of the festival poster will
be available online.

Resources
Resources that I used were:
• Adobe Photoshop: This software enabled me to edit all of the
content present on my festival poster and to edit out any
information or images that doesn’t need to be included in the
poster.
• Microsoft PowerPoint: This is used to edit and organise my slides
that are part of all the LO’s for Unit 15 and to present in my pitch.
• Internet explorer: this was used to research in detail information
about the festival of inspiration, images to include in the poster
and any resources that were needed in order to complete all the
LO’s and the festival poster in general. I also added references to
any of the slides that were needed as this links to the websites
that I used to research information that was used for that specific
slide.

Risk Assessment
Software risk assessment
Resizing the image
When resizing the image taken of the sunset, I needed to
make sure that whilst resizing the image, I had to check if
any pixilation with the image was taking place or else the
image wouldn’t be clear. To resize the image on Adobe
Photoshop, I had to place the image on the blank canvas
and hold down the shift key so that the image keeps its
original shape without any pixilation. Lastly, if you want to
make the image bigger or smaller, click on ‘edit’, then the
option ‘free transform’ and hold the shift key so that it will
allow you to change shape without any pixilating or any
other issues.
Potential Hazards/Risks
The photoshoot will take place at Epsom Downs on the 8th
April 2017 at around the time of 5-7pm. This was an ideal
location for the photoshoot to be carried out as Epsom Downs
has the open space format like a festival to take the best shots
along with the sunset.
• As the shoot is taking place in an open space, this means
that there could still be members of the public so I would
need to be careful in not taking images of them as they
would not be comfortable with that.
• Make sure that there isn't anything in the sky e.g. a flying
kite that is obstructing the way of the shoot so that clear
images of the sunset can be taken.

Step by step on how advert was
created
1. Firstly, I opened Adobe Photoshop, in which I set the document to A4 size as this is the right size for the
festival poster.
2. As I shot an image of a sunset to use for the background, I inserted it as an object and therefore locked
it so that it wouldn’t move out of place.
3. Then I moved the masthead for the festival to the top-middle area of the poster, this connotes to the
audience that the festival is based on the magazine and links with the music genres presented in the
magazine itself.
4. Text with the festival dates and the location of the festival are located under the masthead on the
festival poster. I used white text and black outlining for the dates and location as this highlights to the
audience the key information they need to know about the festival if they were to attend.
5. After I have completed the previous action, I placed a text box in the middle of the poster which
contained all the artists that are due to appear at the festival and the gradient tool was used for the
text to add more colour definition to the poster.
6. Below the artists text, website links for the festival tickets was placed in black-outlined white text
which highlights to the audience these are the websites that are authorised to sell the tickets and other
websites trying to sell tickets are unauthorised and would be counterfeit.
7. Lastly, in the top-left corner of the poster, all the brands that sponsor the festival have been placed in
this position in order for the audience to know that products that are provided at the festival come
specifically from the sponsorships from the brands backing the festival.
