- 1. What areas worked well? The areas that worked well in my final product and throughout the planning and development were the packaging of the can, the design was very simple throughout my planning and I tried to tie all my ideas in with the Scottish theme, I think this worked well because it brought an essence of humour to the design and the message of the product, I also think that keeping in line with a theme helps to develop ideas and makes the product recognisable. Another part of the development work that worked well was choosing the colours to use for the design, I wanted to keep the same colours that the original Irn-Bru cans had on theme again to make sure it was recognisable to the public. I think that my posters and magazine adverts worked really well to because I again kept in line with the Scottish theme and made sure that I included humour and images that people would know from the past, I also used stereotypical photographs again for the humour aspect of my products. What areas could have done with more work? I think I could have done more work on creating a range of different products and making them more interesting because of the time period I was not able to spent hours on the products to make them up to high standards compared to similar products that exist already. I also think that my slogans could have better work on them again the time period I had wouldn’t allow me to take time to think of a good catchy slogan to add to my product. Another aspect of my work that I think I should have taken a little more time on is some of the web banners because I took a long period of time to complete one and rushed two more of my ideas which ended up in them looking rough and sketchy. What effect did you think your development stages had on the final product? I think developing my ideas was a good thing to do because my initial ideas were not of high standards so creating mind maps and mood boards helped me to develop and expand my ideas further until I was happy with the outcome. Most of my initial ideas made it to the final products but they didn’t stay the same as how I first wrote them down because I developed them by researching into existing products and asking my target audience what they thought of my ideas. I am happy with the product I managed to create and there are still small aspects of my ideas included in the finished products but again most of them have been developed and expanded.
