Summer Term Planning

Print Production - Planning

You need to show your 'working out' in Media Studies - how you developed an idea, your influences, your rough drawing, your first drafts, crossings out, ideas that didn't make it, ideas that did.... the full development from concept to final work needs to be shown.

This could be totally visual, images, sketches etc. However, you could also write brief comments why, for example, you thought one idea got ditched, or how your audience focus group made you change your ideas.

Consider colours, fonts, layout styles etc. Show all the ideas in the blog – blocks of colour, examples of fonts, what are you going to s

	For an example of how to construct a blog post that shows the development of a creative idea, take a look at the following blog post that shows the development of a chocolate advert. www.justcreativedesign.com/2008/08/13/print-advertising-design/

Planning tasks:

Sketch ideas onto a template so that you use the appropriate size and ratios to develop ideas.

Create a moodboard and sketches or mock ups of your ideas. You’ll need to scan or photograph any sketches to add them to your blog. Now run a focus group asking a few audience members a few specific questions before you begin production work. You can film this or just write up the results on your blog.
