A02 - Poster Draft

\

Above is the draft I designed for the poster. I will present all three of my drafts to my client at once when they are all completed. 

A02 - pre production stage

Before the designing process i decided to find the official font or a similar font which chase and status use on there current album covers and posters. I couldn't find a official font but i did find this font on a website which is identical

I will make the words 'Chase' also 'Status' bold, therefor making it look more like on the poster above.

Meeting with - My client - Dr Cliflands

Date - Thursday 19th April 2012

Time - 13:00

Present - Dr Cliflands

Apologies - None

Items discussed

• Discuss the band/artist I have chosen to base my project on, Chase and Status (who they are, what they do, appropriate history)

I told my client that I have decided to base my project on the band Chase and Status. Chase and Status are an Electronic based (Dubstep and Drum&Bass) music production duo. Chase and Status are a sell out act winning various music awards and entering the UK top 40 charts and have had 3 consecutive yearly tours (2009, 2010, 2011)

My client was impressed by my research of the band and believes that it would make a good project.

• Discuss the products I have chosen to create for them (CD Cover, Poster and Programme) and why I have chosen to create them

I told my client that I have chosen to create a CD cover, Poster and Programme. I said that I have chosen to choose these products as they are regular releases by the band and it would be un-natural for them to release anything else.

• The current house styles of CD's, Posters and Programme's  (colors and effects)

The current house style of the band is use of yellow fonts such as their last years album "More than alot" and their live music performance posters. I would also presume that the font on the front of the programme is yellow and maybe throughout. I also told my Client that during my research I also found out that the blur effect is sometimes used on their posters (the majority of their posters) and their latest CD cover follows a black and whit style with yellow font.

• Previous CD's and live performances (details of them and their design)

Me and my client first discussed previous CD's the band has released. We came to the conclusion that their first album 'More than alot' was not main stream enough not targeting a big enough audience and didn't give the band a strong and popular enough image. This means that I will not concentrate on this album while designing this one, I will concentrate on their second and latest album "No more idols"

We then discussed previous posters. Most posters online have not been designed by Chase and Status however Chase and Status have just been paid to preform at clubs. This means that i must be careful of which posters I decide to take ideas from 

• How the style of their next event and CD should be (the new house color)

After a long discussion me and my client decided that the house color will stay the same (the use of yellow and black and white effects) we decided that the house color should stay the same as it was only made their house color last year and allot of merchandise has been made, even recently, following the same house color.

• Estimate time of creating the products

it will take approximately 2-3 months to create the products (including the design, feedback and improvement stages)

• Budget

around £40,000

A02 - Respond to a client brief for a range of graphic design products.

Band / Artist - Chase and Status
Products to be made - Poster, CD Cover and Programme (All products will be based on their next UK tour)


Poster
The poster will be made the same size as all of Chase and Statuses other posters promoting live music events which is 254 x 202 mm. It will follow their house color which is the use of the color Yellow and must include a picture of them. Here are examples of previous chase and status posters promoting them playing live.

CD Cover
The CD cover will then follow the same house style as the poster. This is due to the fact that the CD will be made in association with their tour just like their live event from last year at Brixton academy and the CD seen below (the poster of this event is the first example poster above)

Programme

The programme will then also follow the same house style as the CD cover and poster. The front cover of the programme will be colorful and attractive to encourage purchase and will be full of information, the track list of the live event, and competitions.
