During these two weeks, I worked on my proposal. I first wanted to create an app for a festive radio station however I was advised by a colleague that it wouldn’t be the best idea as a lot of the assets and framework had been done by me in the past. I instead decided to work with an organization I was already working with but with some new content and ideas.
This year for my Year 12 FMP I worked on Global Academy’s Student Station called ‘Youths Choice’ I was given the brief to complete a new set of branding guidelines and posts for our social media and other formats. I worked closely with the Station Manager on this project as well as using the existing resources from their brand. This mainly consisted of their logo guidelines. Originally, I was deciding between three different projects, creating a radio station app for an established Christmas Radio Station called Radio Christmas, or transforming one of the existing Youths Choice studios into a visual studio to allow students to easily create content for Youths Choice’s social media accounts. As mentioned I ended up choosing the branding guidelines and posts for Youths Choice. This was the most appropriate for this FMP as the Radio Christmas app was already in the process of being developed and they had stricter copyright and NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) for them meaning that I wasn’t allowed to share any of the backend or mock-up work that I was doing and I couldn’t show the front end until we did the promotion for it. I also chose against doing the Studio Transformation as the parts ended up taking too long to arrive, we had ordered some video friendly microphone arms from Yellowtec’s brand M!ka though with covid delays around the world they where going to take over a month to arrive.
