LO1 Task 1: KTA 3/5 - Five pieces of graphic design - full analysis



Slide 1 – Camp Bestival flyer:

The purpose of this flyer is to draw in a crowd, and persuade them without saying any words to come to there festival.
 This Flyer shows all of the acts and bands that would be playing there and also tells you the date: this festival was hosted on the 26th to the 29th of July 2012.

The Colour in itself is quite eye catching, a vibrant pink instantly stands out and the texts Colour clashes with the background of the flyer which also makes them stand out from the rest of it.

All of the acts are displayed on banners to make it seem like a celebration that they’re there. Also having the names of the acts written in black also makes them stand out from the banners colours of blue, purple and yellow.

The design style of the flyer is very childish and wants to bring a positive image to kids and adults tat the festival will be fun.








Slide 2 – iPod lovers:

This graphic design piece has one solid meaning to it and it says it as soon as you take one look at it. Love. The whole image is based around love but being linked with technology. The earphones are representing music and music has be known for the bringing together of people, and since the earphones have been shaped to be like a heart, it shows that music has brought them closer.

The design is simplistic and easy to understand the image is very plain.

The colours also speak to the audience, telling them that its very innocent and youthful – this is linked in again with the technical side. Youths are known for being obsessed with technology. The orange background also represents creativeness, which sums up the image in one.







Slide 3 – London 2012 archery:

This Image represents the London 2012 Olympic games with the archery target. . The black inner circle and the arrow that’s in the center are the 0 and the 1 in 2012.  The images colours are showing professionalism, exciting and positive images.

The design of this piece is very simple but has a nice play around with the 2012 lettering on the actual design.

The shadows that emanate from the bottom of the stands make it look like a 3D image when in fact it is simply a 2D image; this is clever and will entice people.

The fact that the 1 from the 2012 is in the center shows that The 2012 Olympics will be amazing just like somebody scoring 10 in archery.




Slide 4 – TGBMF:

The flyer for the great British music festival has three main colours, which are white (cream) red and black. The red is to show patriotism and brutishness, which is what the music festival (im presuming) was about.

The design is very vintage and old timey but to those who experienced the festival this would have been very modern at the time it was created.

The festival took place on the 31st of December 1975 – this date shows it was designed to be a new years festival.

All of the acts are in a big serif font to make some of them stand out from the rest of the flyer. 




Slide 5 – Xbox Beard guy:

This piece of graphic design work was made to show what can become of you if you play too much video games.

The design of the piece is simple and follows many of the deign styles of the previous pieces.

The contrasting colours show that its bright and can easily be identified. The Xbox controller represents the eyes of the man, and the Kinect sensor is the mouth, this is a take on the saying “too much TV will give you square eyes” whilst this one says “too much Xbox and you’ll become the Xbox.” And gamers that play for too long and don’t do anything else they do tend to grow massive beards and hair grows too long.

The piece is simple but says a lot without actually having any text to read.
