Additional requirements, not included in
the 500 word proposal:

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
Personal project

Section 1: Rationale
(approx. 150 words) The brief is asking me to create something that can solve a problem for
example it could be an app which can help people solve problems in everyday
life. I feel confident in this project as I think I have a good idea and I feel like
my idea can help stop developing problems. The knowledge and skills I will
need this projects will be my adobe skills like illustrator and photoshop as for
my idea I will have to make a logo and design branding however I'm confident
in my skills within adobe that I should be able to create my brand to a high
standard. The learning opportunities this projects provides is I can learn a lot
more about what my brand is about by using different websites and
researching on the internet also when making my idea I will learn more things
by experimenting on adobe software and this can help me when I'm in the
industry as I could use these skills in the workplace.

Section 2: Project
Concept My overall idea for this projects is to make a brand which is also a charity
(approx. 200 words) called "Toms trust" and the aim of my brand is to try and help stop world
hunger by collecting donations and using the donations to buy food for different
food banks around the world. My target audience would be every age to show
the importance to stop world hunger and to show them why we need to donate.
Research that could help me develop this in the future is looking at my
competitors and how I'm going to stand out against them also looking at
different websites to discover facts and information to do with world hunger.
Practical work which will be produced for this project is i need to make and
logo and i will use illustrator to help me make that. Also using photoshop to
make adverts and different advertising to promote the brand. The resources I
will need in order to carry out this production will be i need to have access to
websites so I can discover new information and statistics also the use of books
will help me expand my knowledge on world hunger as I can learn new facts
about it.

Section 3: Evaluation
(approx. 150 words) I will keep my Weebly website up to date throughout the whole project and if I
make any changes to certain things or if I prefer a certain design to another I
will show that on here. Also I will carry out a weekly blog so every week I can
look back on what I have made in the past week and I will write my aims for the
next week. I will also try to make as many focus groups as I can and I will
upload these onto my Weebly discussing ideas and asking my peers on there
thoughts. I will be annotating all of my progress to an in depth level and I will
be documenting my decision making and I will use this as time to reflect on
what I can make better and what I can develop. At the end I will write a project
evaluation talking about how I found the project and I will say my thoughts on
my outcome and how I thought the projects went.
