Skills Audit

Mind map for work experience ideas

Analysis of similar product/s

These are posters from coffee shops and the reason why I chose to do this about coffee as it was one of my ideas to think of I had so many ideas and chose this one as many people can relate to this and also it is one of the most simpler designs to produce than other designs for other products.

I am thinking of creating poster designs and menus similar to this and these are going to be my ideas for the creation of my product design, I could even go in-depth and design a poster or menu which displays a flavour that not many people have heard of and I can also think about seasonal flavours for coffee drinks and drinks in general maybe even special drinks which represent a certain event.

Planning/Schedule

Client contact

Pre-Production

Final Production

Evaluation

I communicated very well with the client me and the client had multiple of ways contacting each other such as through emailing, messaging, using telephone numbers and meeting up with the client and discussing the plans I had for creating my production and if I should alter some in any way in order to come to an agreement or agreements. The client and me also kept reviewing the planning of the production, then I focused on starting to create it for design ideas then when I was happy with design ideas I had included them in final product.   I managed to complete the final product one week before the deadline but there were struggles on the way of completing this product in terms of picking what my work experience was going to be about and I hadn't been able to find one myself or pick one from the ones suggested this was going on for 4-6 weeks so I ended up finally choosing one.  Then I started looking for images that relate to my topic which was about cafes and coffees in cafes and the drinks they serve even the seasonal drinks so I placed all of those images on to a Microsoft power point page and made it look like a mood board then I started analysing it and this was easier to do than the other tasks when planning to produce this product and completed it very quickly.   I also had to produce a mind map which displays all the potential ideas of what type of media product to create depending which also depends on the topic chosen, I completed it very quickly as it didn't take up much of my time but could have completed it earlier and the reason this happened was because I was focused on completing other tasks a lot more than focusing on this one.  I also contacted the client and discussed with the client the potential ideas for this product and made agreements on some of the ideas discussed and if I need to alter any to come to agreements with the production ideas and this took one week.  I also had to create a time plan/ schedule for planning my production and this took me from a few days to a week to complete.  The production of this project took 3-4 weeks to complete.    I am very pleased with my final product as I have produced a really good menu poster version of the cafe's menu which helps to promote what they sell and I have designed a menu poster which looks similar to many other cafes in terms of designing a dark coloured background with white writing and the client is also happy with the product and said that they may even consider using it on their website.   I could have performed better in planning and completing tasks quicker in terms of completing the time plan/schedule as fast as I could and complete creating the mind map earlier than I did and set out a group of tasks to complete within a certain period of time.
