Unit 7

There are a variety of different sectors of the creative industry. These sectors include Advertising, Architecture, Arts and Antique, Crafts, Design, Fashion, Film, Video, Photography, Software and Computer Games, Music, Publishing and Television.

In the creative industry, there is something called the project life cycle. This refers to a logical sequence that takes place in the process of a project in order to complete its goals or objectives. For example, you would not start a project before first wanting to know how you would complete it. Therefore the process is split up into 4 different phases.

1) Founding Initiation - In the first stage, the project is defined. Working out which approach to take and how to deliver the desired outputs. The project manager is appointed and in turn he chooses the team members based on their skills and abilities.

2) Planning - Secondly, the team outlines and plans the assignment of each task. This means people determine exactly what will be carried out, how long it will take and who will do it. This lets the team have  a greater understanding of how it will pan out and know how to develop their role.

3) Execution and controlling - The most important stage, which is making sure everyone acts out their role and everything is executed to a good standard. During the execution phase the planning solution is implemented to solve the problem specific in the project requirements. The final product is the end result and everyone works towards it.

4) Closure - The final stage where the project manager makes sure all the criteria has been met and the product or final result is complete.

Brainstorming plays a massive role in completing the final product. It helps the creators mind plan out how the project will unfold and what is good/bad. Brainstorming is best done in doodles, spider diagrams or even just writing down thoughts.
