Unit 4 Reading
Chapter two was all about the process behind a design; discovering the story each project has to tell. Designers are trained to do this type of research. Understanding who your client is, their message they are trying to tell, and their target audience is crucial to any successful design. A great way to begin any project is to create a timeline. This will ensure you and your team understands deadlines and what your client expects out of you in a period of time. Knowing your audience and the content you are creating for is a huge part of the planning process. Some helpful ways in better understanding your demographic is to create personas. These will define who your audience is, and what they expect to gain from your brand or design. Another key aspect in the design process is a creative brief. This will help organize your information in one place. Creative briefs can be very helpful for people you may be working with so that everyone has a clear understanding of the project's background, and where the project may be headed.

P2 Project Statement
Data Visualization
Background:
There has always been a dispute about the two festivals, Electric Daisy Carnival, and Ultra Music Festival. Both of these festivals are located in the United States, but are on opposite sides of the country. The scenes are complete opposites, and can be described as the east and west coast rave scenes. This info graphic will show the different statistics that will include attendees, Facebook fans, profit, time of month, when the festivals began, where they are located, and what the festivals include.
Target Audiences:
The target audience for this will be between the ages 16 and 35. Both male and female festival lovers who enjoy dancing, and electronic music.
Obstacles:
Obstacles may be demonstrating the differences of these festivals without having a personal bias towards one or the other.
Support Statements:
This poster will be able to show each festival's strengths, while being compared to one another. That way, facts will determine which festival is "better" than the other, rather than based on emotional attachment.
Tone:
Informative
Media:
Poster, or online infographic
Creative Considerations:
Something to consider is finding a way to mesh both styles of festival into one poster. Using different color schemes to define each festival will be important.
