SMART Targets
The next stage in my print production is to choose locations, props and people to include into the photos.
S pecific
M easurable
A chievable
R elevant
T ime-bound
I will write my targets in paragraph form to give me a good idea what the stages will be through process of planning through to production since they are more in-depth.
1. I will create design sketches and decide weather to stick with generic design format or see how different designs look and put these forward to a focus group who will give me feed back on my initial ideas and which parts I should move forward with and some ideas which should be left out.
2. The feedback from the focus group will help me develop my ideas further. I will then create designs from what they have said about my ideas and combine then to create a final idea.
3. From creating the final design ideas I will go out and use the available resources I have to look at locations (like local gigs and venues), participants and organise props for the photos to be taken. If it is a live gig then some things are out of my control like props but that gives a good live feel to the article. I can choose to do some location shots with local bands or musicians.
4. After this I will choose the best and most appropriate photos to go onto the magazine, I will be using PhotoShop to design the pages, this enables me to edit images and the easiest way to create the layout.
5. Along with this I will be creating written content to include with the photos, like reviews and ratings. I will be taking a notepad with me during the location shots and live shots to allow me create a review on the photos and text to put with them. I will be arranging the content with the photos and page layout.
6. I will show the stages through the design stage and look at the different draft versions and explain why I did not use certain things in my product and analyse the final product and why I chose what I did.
7. After this I will create a feedback form for my product to give to the intended audience of the product and give views and opinions and looks at final changes that I could make to my product.
8. Evaluation of final product.
