Referring Back To The Brief

I have just been to Grantham’s to get the CD roundel printed, I have paid for the setting up charge, as I am aware that this may be a little tricky for me to achieve an accurate cut around the label, therefore I have chosen for it to be professionally printed onto the CD roundel paper.

I am due to collect the art work at 12 o clock, so I will see how these have turned out – I will also purchase the CD disk for this to be put onto. Up until then I will continue working on ensuring all of the text from my written report is successfully included into my report format.

I will also work on ensuring that I am consistent with font type and layout throughout. So far I have just placed the written work anywhere, yet I will ensure that this is aligned and flows with the theme of ‘story book’. I should make sure that there is not ‘too much’ text on some of the pages in comparison to others.

Once the text is in place, I shall focus on the animations. It may get a little confusing with my work, as the characters are used throughout as animation to help signpost and narrate the report, yet they are also used for the visuals to demonstrate promotion. Consequently, this will have to be assessed. I will make sure that there is the correct balance between visuals and written content, and that this is in keeping with the target audience.

A correct way to ensure this may be to write a brief synopsis at the beginning of the report, instructing people exactly how they should read the report. For example “The report has been formatted as a children’s story book, therefore a brief segment of text is provided alongside heavy visuals throughout the report.” I should also consider the option to read the book in different ways, for example “for Advancement’s version click here” and “for Catherine’s version click here”.

What next? I am just about to go back to the brief to see whether I have fulfilled the objective requirements.
