LO1: Task 1 - Download Festival

Download Festival

 

A)     Purpose

Merchandise (T-shirt) is made as a form memoir for the people who went the music fest and decided to immortalize it in some way by buying a shirt. This can be considered another form of promotion such as when people are walking around with the shirt, people will most likely take notice of it and may incite some form of interest. Not only that, the back of the shirt provides another side of interests as it shows several artist's name and someone may be more interested in seeing the future Download Fest.

B)      Format

The graphic design was put on to a print based medium, in this case a t-shirt. A shirt can be a good format of promotion due to the fact that it almost means that people who wear the shirts are openly promoting the Download Fest whilst saying that they enjoyed it so much, they decided to buy a shirt as a memory. This links in to the way the graphics is meant to provide some form of promotion. The other formats is a ticket, a poster, a web banner and a logo.

C)      Content

The content featured is a stylized graphic work on the front of the shirt featuring the design for the Download Festival with their logo in a a different form of design. In the back of the shirt, it contains all of the artists that will be playing at the festival which could attract people if they notice a band that they like on it. The content on each form of graphic design is kept concise and at a minimum whilst being able to deliver its purpose, which in this case is to promote Download Music fest.

D)     Style
It follows a pattern and is completely symmetrical in terms of spacing barring the text. It has a heavy emphasis on a chaotic look whilst being in form which could reflect the type of subject it is trying to show. The back part of the shirt has a different style to that of the design at the front as it displays the many artists participating in the music fest. Each format of graphics features a reccuring style featuring flames, sharp images and very obvious colours that contrast the background.

E)      Layout

A very simple and clean layout which clearly features the graphic design in the center of the shirt, front and back designs. Each graphic design has been laid out to provide a clear view of the content that is made for each format. The poster for example has equal spacing for each of the artists that will be playing and each are categorised accordingly.

F)      Target Audience

The target audience is most likely males but not exclusively. The ages are most likely between 18 to 40 years old due to the genre of music there is.

G)     Regulatory Bodies

The regulatory body is the ASA.
