Final Evaluation

This blog entry is my final evaluation on this whole commission project. Since we started this course I think I have produced some good quality work which I think will help me get good grades for this project.


I think I have worked well throughout this project, but I could have put more effort in to doing some of the work. At the start of this project I was a bit confused as to what I could produce and make for my client. After we had the big class disscussion where we decided to make the webisodes, i felt like I knew what I was doing and excactly how I was going to achieve it. As well as making the webisodes we were asked by our client to create some big A1 posters for the 3 main buildings of the college. So we then started to plan what departments we were going to film and what footage we wanted to capture. Once we started going out around to the different departments our ideas and plans kind of didnt get used and we ended up getting some ok footage but some really bad stuff to. So to create our webisodes we used some of the good footage that we already had and then we went out again for a second time to get some better footage which we did manage to achieve. For the production of the posters we went out using a digital camera to take pictures of all the different buildings inside and outside to use on our posters. I think the production of the posters went more smoothly and turned out better because the posters seemed much eaiser to make as the webisodes, so we seemed to have put all our effort into making our posters look good.


Working for a client is something that I have never done before and I found it very wierd and different and first but then as you have the meetings and talks with them and get and understanding of what they wanted us to make for them and for when by. It was harder to work for a client because normally we create a product and our teachers marks it and gives us a grade, whereas for a client you have to make sure that they are completly happy with your finished products.


Overall though I have enjoyed this project because of all the feedom we have had to do our thing and the way that it has been st up is good. I think that I did work resonably well over this project but I do admit that I could have put more effort into my work to create something that is much better. In futre I will always make plans and stay orgainsed so that I don't get mixed and fall behind with all the work.

Feedback from audience for Posters

We placed our different posters out in our classroom and craeted some questionairres for our audince and client to answer for learning outcome 5. The questionairres included questions about the layouts, fonts and the images.


The first questionairre that I got back had answers like:

• I think that the collage effect makes the posters and images look more interesting
• Yes these posters do promote the college because you can see how different each building is and how the college has expanded
• The posters help promote the college with the new buildings, makes them look much more popular than they use to look.
• The fonts used add difference in each building, they are also very eye catching
• I like the way the that each poster shows what is in each building and they are new and different
• Yes I think that the posters include enough information to draw people in and the pictures are very effctive
• The colours in each poster are co-ordinated and draws you in.
• To improve them more perhaps include some more pictures of the surroundings and the posters should be laminated

For another questionairre we got some answers which are:

• The layout reflects each building well
• The posters could include clearer information on course content
• These posters promote the college because you have showed a wide range of rooms and resources
• The posters do show what each building looks like but there is some variation in the lighting
• The fonts reflect the buildings well
• I like the layouts of the posters the most
• I think that more information could be included to your posters to make them more effective

From another questionnaire that was filled out some other answers I got:

•  There is more space to be filled. You need to think about the way you have cut your images be artistic and creative
• I don't think these posters promote the college very well
• The colouring of the images could be improved maybe you could have used some graphic design
• Some of the fonts I could not make out
• I like the way that the lighting conditions provides a positive and welcoming feel to the college
• There is not enough information about the different courses in each building
• The colour stands out to more but could be made more eye catching, think about the existing posters in the Zennor reception
• To improve be artistic and experimental with the colours

The answers that I got from another questionnaire are:

• I think these posters show what different facilities that are on offer at the college
• These posters need to show more of the courses on offer as well as all the buildings
• The images show more of what the buildings look like from the outside whereas it would be better with more inside images
• Some of the fonts used stand out well but some are hard to read
• I like some of the angles that the posters have been taken from
• The things that stand out most are the bright photos that are in focus and the names of each building
• To improve show more of what's inside the college
• Some of the photos are quite dark
• Some photos were repetitive and blurred

Another questionnaire which i got back had answers like:

• The layout of these posters are very appealing with good shot of each building
• The posters show some of the college's best features; the shapes of the buildings, the interior and exterior and the different views
• Yes these posters do definitely show what the college looks like
• A range of fonts have been used effectively and they are all eye catching
• The pictures overlap and different angles have been used
• The interior and exterior have been included; however some of the shots are a bit dark
• Just a few bits of information are missing
• Pictures of the catering students and the drama theatre needed to be added otherwise very effective information
• The buildings and the unique shapes that are included stand out most to me
