Project action plan and timetable:

This section provides you with an opportunity

to outline your planning and organisation
over a period of weeks and the activities you
will need to carry out in order to successfully
complete your project in the agreed time
frame. The more time and thought you give to
planning your project, the more successful it is
likely to be.

It is important that you consider how you will

balance ambition, time and realism in the
realisation of the project. You should also
include what you are going to do, how you
will do it and by when. Remember to include:
time spent sourcing materials and other
resources to conduct research, feedback from
tutors and peers, and when you will carry out
independent study.

Bibliography (Harvard Format):

This section provides an opportunity to record

the initial research sources, both primary and
secondary, that you intend to use.

Your sources of research should be as wide

as possible and could include libraries,
galleries, books, magazines, films, computer
games, websites, blogs, social media, radio
programmes, archive material etc. Where
appropriate, you should use the Harvard
system of referencing. The bibliography
should be continuously updated as the
project progresses.

Project Title
Problem Solving

Section 1: Rationale
(approx. 150 words) The brief wants me to start problem solving, I have chosen to create a series
of posters to stop armed conflict. My posters will be created by hand and
digitally using different medias of graphic design so that I am able to
experiment with my designs. This project will need me to use my skills on
adobe programmes as well as being able draw as I plan on using multiple
different methods for my posters, my knowledge on the elements of graphic
design will be used to ensure I have professional posters of a high quality.
From this project I plan on learning how to use uncommon forms of graphic
design such as silk screen, gouache and paint.

Section 2: Project
Concept My overall idea for this project is to create 6 posters to stop armed conflict, I
(approx. 200 words) want the posters to be created using tools I haven’t tried before so that I can
experiment with different forms of graphic design. My target audience are men
and women aged 16-33 as you will need to be aged between 16-33 to join the
army, however my posters are also targeted towards presidents, prime
ministers and royals as they declare wars. I plan on researching current
conflicts so I can create posters that are up to date and relevant to the world.
Practical work I plan on creating are hand drawn and digital posters, if I have
time I also plan on creating a gif so I am able to experiment with all forms of
graphic design. Resources I will need are access to adobe programmes,
paper, scanners, paint and pencils, these will be used to create my posters I
may also use gouache and silk screen however I will need to learn how to use
them through tutorials or asking my tutor for help.

Section 3: Evaluation
(approx. 150 words) I plan on creating a weekly plan and padlet plan so that i can stay on task and
have enough time for my prototype and test phase of the project, with this plan
i will be able to keep track of what i need to create and how long i have left with
my project. I plan on doing a focus group at the start of the project and one at
the end of the project so i am able to get feedback and ideas to stop me having
any problems or issues with my designs. I will use my annotations as a way to
discuss what went well and how i can improve my work so that i am critical on
myself and able to improve my work when i have time according to my plan.
