M2 Unit 3- Legal and Ethical Issues for Planned Production

 M2*: Legal and ethical issues are identified and resolved for the planned production

Potential Legal Issues

One issue we could encounter when planning the awards night would be regarding Copyright, and that artists are fully credited and compensated for their work. The solution to this is ensuring that each artist nominee earns a percentage of monetary profit from the event alongside the potential prize for winning the award itself.

Another legal consideration would be ensuring our permission to hold the event within the art gallery, able to properly rent out the space and close off certain sections so that people from the public who enter are attendees of the awards night and there to see the artists work and decide who they wish to vote for to win.

Potential Ethical Issues

Event runs into night, could be considered too late for many families to stay in town with their children or for the young artists to be out so late, this will require consideration of security and safeguarding to ensure that everyone attending the event feels safe and comfortable at the event and are can safely access their transport home.

P2/P4/M3 Unit 3- Artist Nominees

In preperation for the promotional video of the awards evening, I have reached out to a number of artists I know and asked if they would be willing to demonstrate their work and promote it acting as nominees for the award. These consist of artists who created their own work and so will be seen themselves, or work from artists I know who aren't confident enough to be filmed so I and other people I have asked have stood in for them and just put a different name and face to the artwork. 

 

P4/M3 Unit 3- Photos taken from public

Shown above are my own pictures taken in public for use in the poster promotional material. These images are used to highlight both recognizable places in the Liverpool city but also vibrant, bustling environments which promote the city as both fun and iconic for creativity/artists.

When making the poster designs, I plan to make use of these photos as well as the work of artist nominees on the software Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign, aswell as create designs from templates on postermywall.com in order to have a tangible mould for my posters which I can edit and make unique rather than designing a poster from scratch.

I have also created thumbnails for the designs I am making entirely originally, as it allows me to visualise what I want the poster to look like and thus produce it effectively in a way which matches the desired aesthetic and vibe asked for in the brief; that of creativity and vitality within the local community about art.

 

P3 Unit 3- thumbnail draft designs

Seen below are the thumbnail draft designs of my Print promotional product, the product itself is a leaflet for the Young Visual Artist of the Year awards evening, some leaflet designs were drawn out and constructed myself while two are also made via sample designs from postermywall.com, in which I have looked at sample designs in order to see what a professional event leaflet looks like so I can replicate it and make it unique for my event. 

For example, the designs I have used plenty of images demonstrating the artists work, aswell as sans serif fonts and display fonts to encourage a more vibrant, modern feel to the design. This is done to match the desired aesthetic of the brief and demonstrate this event, and by extension the entire Liverpool region, as an incredibly creative setting full of passion and vitality.
