LO4: Legal and ethical

https://www.cap.org.uk/Advertising-Codes/Non-Broadcast.aspx

In terms of the products that I am going to be creating I will be following the ASA's guidelines. My festival I will not have any offensive language or gestures displayed on the products. Since the festival will be for teenagers as well as adults, there will be no images or connotations relating to drugs, sex or alcohol.

LO3: Feedback

Feedback from Nick Bax:

I presented my presentation for my festival idea to a head of ...., Nick Bax. He gave me some feedback that I will use when designing my final products to help them look as professional as possible. The feedback he gave me was:

- Try to make the location obvious, as it could be seen as an American festival.

- Use British flags maybe on the ticket and logo?
- Well presented.

Feedback from peers:

I conducted a questionnaire for some of my peers to answer regarding the presentation that I presented about my festival idea and its products. The results that I have obtained will help me alter my designs to make them appeal to the target audience. I will restrict the names on the back of the t-shirt to a maximum of three so the text is not too overcrowded. I will also keep the colour scheme the same but add a slogan so that people reading the poster for the festival know that it is American artists that are coming to Sheffield.
