1. Unit 1
10 A
- Unit 1 WHAT IS MY PART IN THE
SCHOOL COMMUNITY
AND IN THE WIDER
COMMUNITY?
By Giulia Manca

2. INTRODUCTION TO UNIT 1
During this unit we have been asked to create a poster suitable to advertise the
X-Factor event of the school.
To catch people attention and to meet my end-user’s requirements, I’ll have first
to investigate well and deeply on the topic (information on the event, how to
create well a poster) and then create an interesting and eye-catching poster that
will have all the information needed (title, place, date, image and people
involved).
To have more information about the event, for example, when and were it will
be held; I’ll have to talk to the person in charge of it, Miss Daykin.
Afterwards I will start researching (by talking to experts and investigating on
internet) on how to create an effective poster, which attracts the attention of the
audience and reflects what is required.
Then I’ll create various possibilities of the final work (by hand first and then on
the computer) and chose the one that will be more appropriate to the
requirements.
To accomplish the final poster, I will first of all find out the required size and
type of paper and then print it. After every step I will do an evaluation of the
work, deciding whether things are to change or not and how to improve it. I
could even ask other people for a personal opinion to enrich my way of planning
and designing and to create the final poster.
It will be really interesting developing this project, because I like to create
posters and advertisements and it’s also a pleasure if the work that will be done
may be used in public for an important event at school.
The school community will receive help from this poster, because it will be
informed of the date and place of the event.
The poster will be a publicity media for a big audience (students, parents and
teachers), which will be solicited to participate at the event.
During this unit, I will improve my skills is this area and learn the techniques to
create an effective poster that attracts the people’ attention.
This project is linked very well with the area of interaction, Community and
Service, because, thanks to this project, I will communicate to the whole school
community important information about the event.

3. GUIDING QUESTIONS
To guide my investigation, I will formulate some questions that will help me to
develop the poster.
• What makes a good poster?
• What are the essential information I need to include?
• How can I attract people’s attention and persuade them to come to the event?
• Which is the best software to create a poster?
• What style is suitable for the event and to advertise it to the all community?
• What are my end-user’s requirements?

4. POSTER ANALYSIS
Colours have to be eye-catching
Font of the title - needs to attract people's attention
Images
Themes in the background
Shapes behind text
Logos – sponsors (X-Factor logo, ISM)
Information: website – further information, date, place, event title
Elaborate poster: small text-invisible, big images
Not direct message, not quickly understandable
Aim to younger people that like manga and comics
Communicating through images and words
2 stars- not completely understandable date, place
Good images and colour schemes that publicize well the event

5. RESEARCH
• What makes a good poster?
To create a good and effective poster, is essential to make it legible and
understandable to the client. In this case, my clients are Miss Daykin and the
whole school community. The poster has to be colourful and with a direct
message, easy to be understand by a big audience.
The final work has to be original and eye-catching that makes the public want to
stop and read it (colour, pictures, drawings, unusual shapes, logos, title).
There should be themes in the background and shapes behind text, which
closely relate to the central theme (X-Factor). It does not have to be too much
elaborate, because to communicate a message is better simple and the points
should be easy to read and follow. Do not use too many types of fonts and sizes
for the text. It has to be readable, so the spelling, the language and the
information of the poster should be correct. It has to be legible, so use an
appropriate size that can be read from 5 feet away. The poster has to be well
organized, by inserting the items with a logical order to have a good impact on
the audience. It has also to be succinct and not with too many words, because,
statistically, you have 10 seconds to grab people’s attention.

http://www.sc.edu/our/doc/goodposters.pdf
• What are the essential information I need to include?
It the final poster I will have to include the essential information: the date and
place of the event, the ISM logo, my version of the X-Factor logo, the web site of
the school and, in addition, some images or pictures that attract people’s
attention and might be also useful to explain the theme. The event will take
place in the school theatre. The date has been moved from the 13th of November
at 7.30pm to another day in January, which will be decided afterwards. After the
show, there will be an aperitif for everybody. The information of the poster have
to be direct and easy to be understood by a large age rage of people.
Miss Daykin
• How can I attract people’s attention and persuade them to come to the
event?
To attract people’s attention, the poster should be colourful, with interesting
images; for example the image of the three judges of the event. The poster must
be understandable by all the school community, so the size of the font must be
appropriate and there must be a balance between text and images. There should
be themes on the background that are appropriate to the poster and shapes
behind the text to highlight them. The poster must have bright colours that make
it stand out and encourage people to read it. The font of the title must attract the

6. attention and there should be inserted the logos of the sponsors of the event.
The main function of a poster is to capture a moving audience with a message.
During the designing a poster, the plan has to be carefully thought to attract
people. There is a short amount of time to attract and hold the readers’
attention, so a solution is to think about the one aspect of the information that
must convey the message and plan the design around that.
After having selected the most important information, determine the imagery
that will best convey the message visually. Deciding whether to use just one
large image or have several small interesting shapes and drawings. Also
choosing the colours is very important, because they evoke the mode or the
emotion that the poster communicates. The final poster has to be very direct, so
there shouldn’t be any superfluous detail.

• Which is the best software to create a poster?
The softwares that are more appropriate to create a poster are: Paint, Microsoft
Publisher and Photoshop. I decided to use Microsoft Publisher, because it has
many options for themes, fonts and shapes and I learned, thanks to videos on
You Tube, explanations of the teacher and deeper research, how to use it
appropriately to create a good poster.

• What style is suitable for the event and to advertise it to the all
community?
The style should represent the idea that has to be developed. It should remind
immediately a person of what the poster is talking about. The style of the poster
has to be connected to the theme of X-Factor, so it will have to use fonts, colour,
images and backgrounds that transmit a sensation vivacity and dynamism and
reminds the “show” topic, with its lights and effects. The font has to be bastoni,
because it transmits the idea of power and modern. The colours should be
bright, because they have to remind immediately the concept of the X-Factor
show.
Emanuela Farma
• What are my end-user’s requirements?
My end-user’s requirements are to advertise the X-Factor event and to
encourage people to come. To satisfy my client, I will have to talk to him and

7. make sure that my idea is approved and shared too.

The sources that I used are valid, because thanks to them I learned how to
improve the poster skills and how to use a specific software to create the final
project. These sources are reliable because they are not biased and give
information that can be found and backed up in other websites, books or videos
of expert interviews. I think that the information and details gained from these
sources are very helpful for the creation of the final poster.

8. DESIGN BRIEF
To create the poster that will advertise the X-Factor school event and fully meet
my end-user’s requirements, I’ll have to follow strictly the limits and demands
that I set previously.
Firstly I’ll have to gather from the responsible of the event, Miss Daykin, more
information on the event: when it will be, where it will take place, who will be
the judges and more details on what will happen during the show. To create the
poster on the computer, I’ll have to learn how to use programmes that are
suitable for the task, by listening during the teacher’s explanations, watching
tutorial videos on Internet and researching to have more suggestions.
After having more information about the project I’m working on, I’ll start
creating different prototypes of the poster. I will choose the one that is more
appropriate and meets exactly the requirements. To understand how to improve
it (design, colours, font and appearance)
and make it more eye-catching, I will ask
the point of view of different people, for
example teachers, kids and adults. During
the creation of the project, I’ll take
inspiration from different posters, for
example the logo of X-Factor.
My goal to reach for this unit is to satisfy my end-user requirements and to
advertise well the X-factor school event, by creating a good, attractive and direct
poster, which will have all the needed information easy to understand.
My costumer will be Miss Daykin, because she is in charge of organizing the
event and so she will need to advertise it and encourage the people to come. My
target audience will be the students, parents and teachers: the entire school
community. They will need to be able to understand from the information on the
poster the date, time and place of the event and what will happen during it.
The final poster will have to be attractive, to catch people’s attention,
informative, to make them understand what will happen, and entertaining (with
interesting images, themes and capturing texts).

I think that this test plan is well organized and structured, because it includes all
the requirements to have a good poster. It will be useful because by following
every question it will be easier to evaluate the final project and understand how
to improve it.
A way of testing the poster would be asking some questions that refer to it, to
parents, children and teachers. Another way would be creating a small
questioner for Miss Daykin, the responsible of the event.

13. Questions for parents, children and teachers:
Yes
No
Is the poster eye-catching?
Is it easy to read?
Is the message clear?
SUGGESTIONS:
Questioner for Miss Daykin:

The poster has a very original and attractive layout of the X-Factor logo.
It suites very well in the requirements and is eye-catching, thanks to the texts in
star-shapes and to the background, which highlights the title.
I think it is a good prototype for the X-Factor poster, which has all the
information required to the end-user.

24. PROCESS JOURNAL
Today (16th of October) I've created the
background using a dark sky and I've
inserted the website for info and the ISM
logo. Next lesson I will continue inserting the
information in the poster, in particular
creating the title.
Today (17thof October) I‘ve created my own X-Factor logo using word art and
paint.
Next lesson I will continue inserting information and the photo of the judges.
Today (23rd of October) I have created the
star shapes to highlight the text, which
gives all the information needed to the
public. The next lesson, I will have to
continue working on the layout of the
poster and them insert the image of the
three judges.

25. During this lesson (20thof November) I
added to the poster the final details: the
photos of the judges and corrected the
font and size of the text. To cut properly
the photos, I used a particular program:
Photoshop.
Today (21th of November) I
changed the colours of the
title and of the stars, to
make the poster more eyecatching. I inserted a
phrase near the photo of
the judges and created
some lines in the title to
highlight it.

The final product fully contains the information needed to advertise the event:
the date, the title, the place, the ISM website and logo. The title is very eyecatching, because of the colours used to highlight it. This poster is
comprehensible to a wide age range, because it is direct and the text is not too
small. There is a good balance between images and words and also between
dark and bright colours.The theme of the background is the space with stars,
planets and galaxies. This is related to the event, because the judges are
searching between many cultures at ISM the X-Factor in a person, who will
become the star of the show.
In my opinion, the poster satisfies well my end-user requirements, because it
publicise the event and it attracts people to come to it.
To improve it further, I think that the drawings could have been a bit more
precise and I could have used a specific and more advanced program to do this.
I could have also used better effects, for example lights, to show the relation
between the poster and the X-Factor show.

You could have made clearer who can participate to the event and take part in the show.
Questionnaire for Miss Daykin:
Does the poster satisfy your requirements?
Does it advertise well the event?
Are you pleased of the final product?
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
No
SUGGESTIONS:
I think that you could have created the lines in the title with more precision.

31. The questionnaires carried out to Miss Daykin, to a child and to a parent were
very successful. They liked how the poster has been created, the colours, the
images and the style used.
The parent suggested that I could have created a better light effect and added
some more details that connected the poster to the idea of “show”.
The child said that I could have inserted in the poster the information about who
can take part in the event.
Instead Miss Daykin was happy and satisfied with the final product, although she
thought that I could have been more precise in the realization of the lines that
composed the title.
The poster met all the requirements set previously in the test plan and also had
achieved good results in the three interviews.
I think that the poster met my expectations and I’m proud of the work created,
taking in consideration of the suggestions made by other people, which I
completely agree with.
EVELUATING THE PERFORMANCE

32. Investigation stage:
During the first stage, I met all the deadlines set by the teacher. I organized my
work, by taking notes in class and doing the homework. I think I have worked
effectively and concentrated to meet the goals I set previously. I think I could
improve in the way I wrote the research, by adding more details, inserting the
interview of Miss Daykin and consulting more sources.
Design stage:
In this stage, I selected the details that should be in the poster (colours, images,
size, font, picture, shapes and background). In the design brief, I defined my goal
and how I was going to reach it, satisfying the end-user requirements, instead, in
the design specification I choose which were my aims. I met all the deadlines and
I organized myself to complete effectively all the homework set by the teacher.
Plan stage:
In this stage I created four prototypes of the final poster that will publicize the XFactor event. I organized myself, worked creatively and met the deadlines set. I
put effort in my work, to meet all the requirements of my end-user
requirements. To improve my plan stage, I could have created more prototypes
to have a wider range of selection.
Creation stage:
During this stage, I created the final X-Factor poster using Microsoft Publisher.
I met the deadlines set and I think I put a lot of effort in this stage, because I was
willing to create a good and effective posted that would meet the client
requirements.
EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF THE PRODUCT

33. During this unit, I have been able to learn how to create an eye-catching poster
to publicize an event. I understood the techniques to attract people’s attention.
For example the colours, text and images in the poster are very important and
relevant to convince a person to participate an event. I’ve also learned how to
use in a more productive way different software, for example Microsoft
Publisher, Paint and Adobe Photoshop.
I think that this poster will be very useful to my client, Miss Daykin, because
thanks to it, she will be able to publicize the X-factor event and persuade people
to come to it. This work will benefit the entire school community, because it will
communicate to students, parents and teachers, important information related
to the event that will take place.
The product created is relevant and useful in the Community and Service area,
because thanks to it, I have been able to help the community around me,
providing a poster with important information about the X-Factor event.
