Unit 15 LO4 Pitch

Unit 15 LO4 Pitch
By Nicole Mukonjo

Welcome to my Unit 15 LO4 Pitch, this
outlines all my ideas that relate to my
festival poster that includes hand-drawn
drafts, graphic layouts, photo-shoot plan
etc. All these slides lead up to my final
festival poster which was produced on
Adobe Photoshop.

Proposal
This is my proposal for NMH festival, it outlines
the ideas which will be incorporated and taken
into consideration whilst the festival poster is in
production.

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
For campaign message, this will connote to the
target audience why this festival will be such an
unforgettable experience as they are at the
festival to have a great time with friends as well
as see their favourite artists perform in one
weekend. My slogan will be ‘New Music Hits’ as
it relates to the magazine and implies to the
audience what sort of music will be performed
at the festival by the artists. The USP would be
the artists, as the artists especially the
headliners are mainstream artists within the
alternative/indie rock genre that means this
would lead to more people within the target
audience to buy tickets to attend the festival to
see their favourite artists.

Logo Design
My festival is based on my magazine NMH which
means I will be using fonts for the poster that will be
similar to the font used for the NMH logo. Have
decided on using the NMH logo but using a different
similar font for ‘Festival’ as it will connote to the
audience how it is relating to NMH magazine itself.
Font: Lemon MilkFont: Ge Body
Font: The Next Font
Font: The Bold Font

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.

Printing Quotes and Costs

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.

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.

Launch date of the posters/Where the
posters will be placed before festival
Launch date of the posters
The launch date of the poster is Friday 15th March which is an
appropriate date as this is approximately 5 months before the
festival is due to take place and this gives the audience enough
time to analyse the line-up for the festival and decide if they
want to purchase tickets for the festival.
Where the posters will be placed before festival
The posters will be located around Brighton e.g. Brighton Pier
based upon the fact that the festival is based around there and
many tourists visit the area. The posters will also be located
around London e.g. Oxford Street due to the amount of visits
made my tourists on a daily basis. As they walk around, the
poster will be spotted around and they might take interest in it.

Legal and Ethical constraints
• Copyright is when an author has legal rights into creating copies, licenses and other musical or artistic work
whichever the format and is entitled to owning that work that requires authorised access for it to be used by
other individuals if the author gives permission. Based on the material that is presented on the poster including
the template and the colours that have been used, the copyright sign (©) can be used in order to connote to
those who have an interest in copying the work presented to them, they need to ask for permission to copy any
material or else they will be in breach of the copyright law.
• IP stands for Intellectual property which is defined as having the correct type of intellectual property protection
to prevent other individuals from stealing or copying your work. This can be applied to the names of certain
products or brands, your own inventions, the way your product is designed and the work that is produced by
yourself. Through getting IP, this will mean that you can get a patent as this prevents anyone from using your
information without permission.
• Through the libel law, this makes sure that NMH would have to be careful based on what is presented on its
advertisement so that this isn’t classified as defamation which could ruin any of the artists’ reputation and could
lead to them pulling out of the festival as they wouldn’t consider being involved in an event which has risked
ruining their reputation as an artist.
• For royalties, this will be given to those who has legal ownership of their own work and someone else wants to
use their work but this is based on how much money will be earned through this. This could also be one way that
artists that are performing at the festival earn money as through advertising the line-up, this confirms to the
audience that the artists listed are due to perform at the festival and changes would be made if either of the
artists cant perform due to unforeseen circumstances or any other reason they have specified.
• For ASA, The codes that relate to my festival would be 01: compliance, 04:Harm and offence, 18: Alcohol and 06:
Privacy as these codes need to be taken into consideration especially when they are being applied to a festival.
this festival needs to make sure that the safety of those attending the festival and the artists performing are
handled in a correct manner so that festival-goers can enjoy a good time without having to worry and stress
about other issues they are dealing with.
• For Ofcom, it needs to make sure that those who are at the festival listening to the artists are protected from
harmful or offensive content e.g. swearing, violence and sexual content. In addition, this would mean that before
the artists perform any of their songs which contain any swearing or offensive material, this would mean they
would be warned not to use the explicit version of the song but use the clean version as some people would
complain how unacceptable swearing is used at a festival in front of a large crowd full of young adults and adults.

Final Photoshop work
This is my final festival poster that
is based on my magazine idea
(NMH). This festival poster links
well with my magazine as it
features artists that come from the
genre that is represented in NMH
magazine and has a good use of
colour which contrasts well with
the background image that was
taken by me.

Conclusion
• Throughout my LO4 Pitch, I have incorporated all my ideas for my
festival poster idea and explained them all in one PowerPoint. This
includes the proposal and photo-shoot plan which highlights the
ideas that relate to my festival poster, the hand-drawn drafts and
graphics layouts for my festival poster and content that relates to
the budget for my festival poster idea. I also spoke about legal and
ethical issues that can have an effect on my festival poster, risk
assessment which relates to the software used for producing the
poster and the images used and the launch date/where the posters
will be place so when the posters will be released and where will
the festival posters be located. In addition, I included a slide on
mood boards so what festival posters inspired me to create my own
festival poster and location recce which relates to the image that
was taken for the background of my festival poster as it was my
own image and was taken in a public area.
