I have had a meeting with my client to discuss my products and he appears happy with how each of them turned out and they have fulfilled his expectations. Some of his criticisms were to make the people in the poster look more gothic to fit the theme, and to emphasize that the students would need to apply on the website.

He also added that he thought my approach to the project was very professional.

Here is a general summary of the working process:

Working Process and Final Outcome

Strengths

· Added to portfolio whenever completed something new

· Constricted lots of research into the target audience and audience theory

· Planned the products well

· Had lots of meetings with client and took in his feedback

· Looked at the project in a professional light

Weaknesses

· Didn’t update blog every time I completed a new stage in the commission process

· Didn’t consider health and safety options until the product was finished

· Didn’t produce a shooting schedule till half way through filming

Goals for future improvements

· Update blog

· Prepare for the task better, i.e. shooting schedules and health and safety

· Complete all pre-production tasks

I think this commission project has definitely helped me understand what working for a client in a business would be like and all the elements that are involved in this. I now know how to research into my audience properly and contacting a client and discussing the products and what they want.

If this were a real commission project, in order to get new clients I would have to put my company’s logo and contact details on the products so other businesses could contact me.

I am glad that I now fully understand how advertising company’s work and all the tasks involved before creating the final products.

Now the commission project is over, I feel I have learnt a great deal and am prepared for any commission tasks in the future. I am happy with my final products and my audience responses were also very positive. They thought that the poster was a good theme and the advert was very persuasive, and the website also added the extra information.
