Unit 3 West Derby Football Culture Awards...P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, M1, M2, M3, M4, D1 Evidence

P1 - My Proposal 


P2 - Evidence: Thumbnails and Working Roughs





P3 - Gantt Chart




This shows the Gantt Chart throughout the weeks of production with my product, it allows me to plan effective work timeframes, helping me meet deadlines on time and finish work with full potential. It shows that I have effectively worked out my time well and completed all deadlines.


P4- Leaflet/ Poster 1 - Initial Ideas

This shows the Poster that I have decided to use as the image used on the Official Instagram as the Voting Image, this allows me to give more differentiation to my campaign by creating more in depth and aesthetically pleasing diagrams within my campaign. Further on, you will find the final poster used for my campaign that I will distribute to help develop attraction to my campaign.






Poster/Leaflet 

This is the final poster/ leaflet in promoting the campaign, I used a sleek and modern finish to promote a more modernised look to the leaflet, the contrasting black and white colours will catch the eye of on lookers, grappling attention and drawing them to my campaign.

The use of the black and white colours also promotes the anti racism campaign used by the Official Premier League, this allows my campaign to also give a positive ethos in helping with the anti-racism campaign in order to abolish racial discrimination.

P5 - Distribution

My product will be distributed to the public through printing pages of the poster/leaflet and posting them around the city region so that any member of the public passing by will potentially see it. Social media will be a big way of distributing the product because it is a cost-effective way of advertising as it is free to have an account. Social media allows for the brand awareness to increase and also for the exposure of the event and the reasons behind why I am creating this campaign and making an event out of it.

M1 - Reasons for Design of Website

The reason I created the website with that design is because I wanted an easily navigable, with a clear set layout so everyone can understand and use it. The use of links to other pages allows users of the website to look further into what my campaign is really about and why I am doing it. 

My website also links to the Instagram, this allows people to share and get involved with my campaign through sharing, commenting, voting which massively boosts the promotion of the campaign.

Reasons for the Sponsors

Teaming up with Sports Direct is huge for my campaign, Sports Direct have decided to join me on my venture to bring light to the West Derby Grassroots Football by donating equipment such as; Football Kits, Shin Pads, Football Boots, Training Equipment and Footballs This helps me in achieving the objective of halving the annual expenditure Grassroot football players have to pay, by helping with equipment costs.

Teaming up with Delta Taxi also helps me in my aim to lower the annual expenditure by grassroots football players, this will help me lower transport prices to and from football, Delta have offered a 30% discount to anyone using there services as a form of transport to and from football, which is a huge amount considering the amount of money this will help players save annually.

Pins Social Club have offered to sponsor my campaign, this means they will help with the catering of the event, including food and drinks. They have also offered their facilities as a venue of socialisation for grassroots football players which is one of the biggest annual expenditures by the players, in doing this Pins Social Club have helped massively with the annual expenditure.

Website

I created my website for the reason that it gives people who need information about my campaign a place to find out everything about it, providing easy links to socials to gain access to the voting system, allowing them to vote via the comment section on each post. The colour scheme of the website took a while to decide, I ended up choosing Red & Blue. This is because as it is a Liverpool campaign first and foremost and it is entirely based around the beautiful game known as football. The two biggest teams in the city are Liverpool & Everton who's home colours are Red & Blue, which gives it a more local feeling for the website.

M2 - Evidence

Legal and Ethical issues of my campaign that I have considered are that during my promotion for my campaign and my awards night, any music/ images I use the cannot be, in any way, offensive or misleading - I have ensured these issues don't occur, by making sure that the products both meet the aims and their purpose. Also, I have made sure that non of the content used is discriminative or at all biased. The West Derby Culture Awards is a campaign aimed for all people, of different ideologies, race, age and gender. To finish of the legal and ethical considerations, I have also made sure that the campaign abides by the ASA (Advertising Standards Agency) legislation, as well as their age-certification system.


M3 - Evidence

Some of the software I have used to create the content for my campaign and my website was Photoshop, I used Photoshop as it allowed me to fully portray my ideas of the logo I wanted to make and in creating it the colour scheme of the logo for the Instagram awards system.

I used the colour gold as it is a very valuable material, and I wanted to used a direct correlation to the colour gold and how valuable it is to convey to my audience to show how valuable my campaign it to the people of the grassroot community. 

I also used Wix to create my website, In using Wix it allowed me to create an easily navigable, easily understandable and a modernized looking website which was pleasant to the naked eye. Wix gave me the use of buttons and the use of hyperlinks to allow me to link to socials such as the Instagram which I have used as the platform of voting through the comment sections under the images posted.


M3 & M4 Evidence

I massively focused on feedback this time round in the improvement of my campaign, using the feedback from my last presentation through training feedback with survey monkey. I wanted to improve my website and create a more navigable and understandable website, showing a more modernised look to account for my target audience and to meet the aims of the brief. In my website I used buttons to link all the socials of the content, ranging from Instagram socials of our speakers all the way to hotel bookings to accommodate the people potentially travelling from afar for the awards ceremony. This allowed me to create a more aesthetically pleasing logo and website to the naked eye and In doing this I believe I have improved my presentation massively.

D1 - Evidence 

The strengths of my campaign through feedback I have received and through opinions of my own are things such as, I have portrayed my aims and reasonings for my campaign very well and it was easily understandable, using hyperlinks to all the socials etc. helping people navigate the website easily. Also that my campaign is in no way shape or form bias or discriminative, this is proven in the fact that I have accommodated for all ideologies, race, age and gender, allowing everyone to feel involved as one throughout the whole campaign in what I’m attempting to achieve. 

The weaknesses of my initial presentation of what I was attempting to achieve have now been tackled, these varied from needing a more easily navigable way of showing my ideas and reasoning, which has now been tackled with the creation of my website and the feedback I have received on that. Displaying a more content gathered and focused information on what I am trying to achieve.

Theorist

Giroux views show how the youth are mistreated within the media. Describing them as an empty category which shows that adults do not really understand what it is like to be a youth in this generation, therefore they project their own ideas of what they believe the representation is. This is one of the main reasons why I am creating this campaign because we want to get rid of this ideology of the youth and one way of tackling this is getting them off the streets and get them involved with a new community, being grassroot football.

LO2 2.2 SWOT Analysis & The Apprenticeship Route

L02 2.2 SWOT Analysis

One way of identifying and correcting the strengths/weaknesses of any work is by carrying out an honest SWOT Analysis- This tool allows you to identify any Strengths (S), Weaknesses (W), Opportunities (O)  and Threats (T) contained in the work/ content that you are analysing.

Here is an example of myself using SWOT analysis in order to determine the Pros and Cons of a piece of my work.

SWOT Analysis:

Strengths

  • Bold, Contrasted writing.
  • Large Images, Easy to see.
  • Good Contrast in colours.
  • Aesthetically pleasing.
  • Good layout.
Weaknesses
  • Due to some image placement, may be difficult to read around shapes.
  • Some text size may be too small.
  • Not a finished piece of work, only a mock-up of what it would have been.
Opportunities
  • I can use this layout and mock up for future pieces of work.
  • I can use the weaknesses to remind myself what to change in future.
  • Good use of image in text, usable in the future with different images.
Threats
  • As i have used images without permission/ copyright availability. It would cause a problem if i wanted to use those images for my own benefit and not just for school work and educational purposes.
The Apprenticeship Route
'Jonny cannot make up his mind whether to go to university or complete an apprenticeship with an employer. He is looking to eventually work in the digital media industry. Can you produce an outline report for Jonny detailing what he needs to do to follow the apprenticeship route?' 

An apprenticeship is a system for training a new generation of people and aspiring graduates in a trade or profession with on-the-job training and often some including days or periods of study (potentially 3 days on the job site and 2 days in College or University learning and studying). Apprenticeships will enable the apprentice/ practitioner to gain a license to practice in the regulated profession (e.g. plumbing, tiling etc), while gaining valuable lessons by shadowing a professional in the field at first, and then starting to learn themselves by taking on tasks independently.

https://www.gov.uk/apply-apprenticeship is a useful website when considering the apprenticeship route, this is due the fact that you can search any available apprenticeship and narrow it down to suit you, this is done through filters when searching through the use of key words, location, to make it more regional or local for yourself, the distance you willing to travel so it can suit your needs and also has a disability confident filter, to fit those who may have physical impairments which unfortunately can lead to them being at a disadvantage to those who are more fortunate than them. This can be a key route for Jonny as he can decide what type of apprenticeship is right for him and therefore what level he would like to do, ranging all the way from intermediate to degree level.

https://www.screenskills.com/ is a valuable site as it portrays what is expected to create abilities and ability and put resources into the fate of UK screen - Screen Skills is the 'industry-drove abilities body for the screen businesses - film, TV, VFX (special visualizations), activity and games. They are supporting the countries and locals by putting resources into the gifted and comprehensive force who are basic to the UK screen ventures 'worldwide achievement'. This will be very advantageous as it will assist Jonny with researching the Apprenticeship course for the computerized media industry. Screens execute expects to; Help to distinguish ability holes (present and future) across the screen businesses and the entire of the nation to give a proof dependent on interest in abilities and training. Providing vocations data, planning and quality-stamping proficient pathways to improve passage level variety and work availability and Supports advancement at each phase of an expert profession in screen including through tutoring and offering bursaries.

File Formats

Susie has a collection of creative media work and wants to know what is the best file format for uploading each medium to her own dedicated website. They have all been digitised, but not necessarily to the most appropriate file format.
