Client:30 Seconds to Mars (The Band)

Time Allowed:8 weeks

Specification and Limitation:

- Computer - Magazines

Unit Questions:How does advertising manipulate our actions?

Documented evidence:

My documented evidence will be like a diary. It will start off from when i first start my design until the very end which is making my product. Find a lot of Photos, video’s, make notes on any notifications, add sketches and diagrams.


Introduction• My Client, Thirty Seconds to Mars are a band that is slowly rising up. They are

Rock band and that is why they don't have a lot of fans yet. There are 4 man in the Band. They are having difficulties on being out there and for people to hear their music more. Therefore, they hired me to advertise them to the entertainment world.

• Through out this semester, i am going to make a one page magazine spread to advertise the Thirty Seconds to Mars band. To make a good quality product i will be going through some certain steps. that is investigation, design, plan, create and evaluation. I will be interviewing my client and talk about what they would like and what’s not, i will be interviewing them until my product is done and they are satisfied. My time will be well organized before i move to every stages. I will be working efficiently according to my time management so i do not miss any stages and also so i am not rushed to make the product. my product will be based on creativity that attracts people, the interesting facts from the band and also their background of their music.


AOI ( Areas of Interaction)

• My project relates to Human Ingenuity because I will be designing and creating a product that meets my client’s requirements.Human Ingenuity is about creation and I will be using interviews with my client, researches about the bad, their musics, and my own knowledge to investigate, design, plan and create this product, which shows my own creativity and imagination. Also, my own skills and abilities of making a product with certain materials can be shown from this project. Therefore, this project relates the best to Human Ingenuity among the five different Areas of Interaction.


Client Interview

• My client wants bright colors like Red Yellow. The theme they want is punk and they want alot of pictures that will attract people to see them and the information can not be too long but just enough to talk about each one of the players, their music and their Album.


Client Interview summary

• Since i am making a magazine for this new upcoming band. I am going to follow what my client wants to seen such as bright colors like Red Yellow. The theme is punk, alot of pictures and not too much information. The writing inside my magazine would focus on the players and mostly on their Album.

Impacts on environments

• My laptop is most likely to be the main tool or material to be used to promote this Band as it is the most reliable tool. By using my laptop it will be needed electricity to charge up my laptop, this impacts the environment because too much electricity is no good for our environment. I will use it wisely.


Impacts on Society

• Magazine, Billboards, Television, Internet are now the biggest hit to promote well, anything in the world. Products have been boosted up because of this. These days its more about the looks and how eye catching a product is. I will be promoting this band in the most interesting eye catching way possible. Little detailed as the client said will do better.


Design Brief

• I will be promoting 30 seconds To mars aswell as their Up coming Album for my clients. This Promotion will be made throughout the second quarter following the five steps of the design cycle, which are investigation, design, plan, create and evaluation.

Design Summary• Design 1: design one is a magazine type and i think it will be more efficient in presenting

and promoting 30 seconds to Mars

• Design 2: I think for a poster, Design two doesn't look very nice. The information feels too separated.

• Design 3: For a website i think this design would be an interesting design, but it have a lot of over layering.

• Design 4: This website design seems very nice and neat but i believe it does not match the clients order. It seems too neat.

• Design 5: This design to me seems very boring and plain. This doesn't attract me at all so does the client.

• Design 6: seems more interesting then design 5, more info and more things going on. For a short advertisement this would be better.

Specification


Peer Review• My name is Veny and im the peer of

Sally. After looking at sally’s 6 designs, I think that design number 1 is most effective design to promote 30 Sec To Mars. I like the way it looks and it also got all the information needed.


Gantt Chart


Evaluation Against Specification - Final Chosen Design

• I have chosen my Final Design. That is to make a magazine page for promoting my band and their new album. The design i have chose is design 1. I may intend to have a couple of changes along the way of making the magazine but the order hopefully will be the same.


PLAN


Step by Step


Resources/ToolsComputer

i need a computer with internet so i can have pictures and information.

Keynote, Pagesi will need to use the keynote to make

my magazine spread and also i will use pages to make all the information and

edit them there before i put it in my keynote.


Evaluation Of Plan

• i think my plan wasn’t that organized and i don’t think anyone else can follow it. even so, i can follow my plan and it makes sense to me. i have listed all the materials i have to use and my gantt chart is realistic timing-wise.


CREATE


DAY ONEDay 1. First i have started to do some research about Magazine Designs. I have search a pop, Rock theme for this Band. By researching on the Internet and opening a few Magazines myself i have gain idea’s about the designs and the introduction of what information i will put in the Magazine.

i was inspired by this because the design of the background i like, and if i want to make something like that i will do it more crowded so it will look better.

when i saw this i was thinking on a design that has big picture and some writings on the blank spaces but make them really POP!!.

i like the ideas of having each of the band member’s faces on the left and make them edgy!!


DAY 2

• i have started Researching on the Band.

Now that i have increase my knowledge about the Band i started to make few summaries on what i should be writing on the magazine.


DAY 3

Today i have started on collecting images to put in my Magazine. I have thought of having each Faces of the band and have a little biography of each member. This is all the information that i will be putting in my magazine. In this i have wrote it on Pages. I have talked about each of the members which are Jared, Shannon, and Tomo. I have talked about their music and also their up coming album to start promoting it.


DAY 4

• Today i have started on Putting the information into my KeyNote. Now that i have started to put everything together, im having thoughts about changing my designs and make it look better and detailed.

This is what i have done so far. I am no where near and right now it feels way too plain.


DAY 5

• Today i have been putting in more information into my keynote and add one more photo. It now still doesnt look as nice as i want it to be, so i started to play with more colors as well. I have started to make use some of their logo's and also making their big tittle. it wasnt as easy as i thought it would be. I have made different tittles and so i can chose one from it. I think i have a long way to go to make my magazine to look the way i want it to look. But so far it is okay.

This is all the different tittle's i have made, i have finally chosen the bottom left because it looks more unique and it has one of their logo aswell.

This is what my magazine looks right now. I will have more background images on the right side because i dont want any blank and boring sides.


DAY 6• Day 6, i have realized i am making very little progress. Today i am

going to work hard on putting more effort in my work. I will start on finishing putting in more information in my magazine and also more things about the band and its music!


DAY 7• Looking back at my magazine spread i

think it looks way too boring and also unattractive. Today i would like to edit a lot of it.


Day 8

• i have really like my magazine now and i don't want to make anymore changes to it. So i have decided that it would be my final creation. :)
