11. Task 2b – Action Plan/Schedule
3.1
• Notes
• My orginally plan was to have a picture of a gallery with paintings on
the wall of pop art but I changed the poster to be pop art themed.
• I was orginally going to have the title on the top right corner but I
changed to the middle so it can stand out more.
• I changed the font of the title as well because that font looked better
and stood out more.

12. Task 2c – Planning
3.2
This is the plan version on
the poster in my actual
poster I will add more details
to the poster to make the
poster stand out, I will also
try different fonts and
different colours to see
which work well together

13. Task 2c – Planning
3.2
This is the first version
of my poster; I like this
version, but I think it
will be better if I
change the font and
maybe add something
in the background of
the blue part of the
poster because it feels
empty.

14. Task 2c – Planning
3.2
This is the second
version on the poster,
this time I added a
stripe which covers up
the blue area and
makes the poster look
more complete, next
time I am going to try a
different font for the
title and make it bigger,
so it stands out more

15. Task 2c- planning
This is my third version of my
poster this time I have change
the postion of the pop art
drawing to the left instead of
the middle I have also change
the title font to moon get and
have made it bigger, so it
stands out. Next time I am
going to add a pattern in the
black blob on the left bottom
corner because that space
look empty.

16. Task 2c –planning
This is my final version of
the poster, this time some
more detail in the empty
spaces of my poster which
make it feel like pop art and
more the poster felt
complete.

20. Task 5 – Evaluation - Feedback
• Discuss the feedback you received from your tutor during the project
and how you used this to improve the project
• Some feedback I got was that the blue space on the top left is a bit
empty and could have a pattern there to make poster better
• Some other feedback I got was that I should change the font of the
title and make it taller, so it fill more space and looks better.
