P4 (b) Production Plan for 3 graphic design items

First, we had to decide on the dates and times of shooting process. We have discussed the possible options and made a shooting schedule which you can see below.

We have also included one more photoshoot which took place on the 20 th of April 2015. 
Location: Photo Studio 
Image: with the guitar, Russian coat and hat. White screen background. 
Model: Annie Udras
Props: guitar, hat, Russian coat
Equipment: Canon 7D, portrait lenses and wide angle lens.

Production plan looks at different stages of how the product is going to be produced. In our case production plan helps us to plan the steps of producing 3 graphic design items. 

- We have decided to organise a concert for our artist on the 5th of July in the O2 arena and, therefore, we need to produce concert tickets. Tickets have to be ready in a while before the concert. 18,000 concert tickets are needed as the capacity of O2 arena is 18,000 guests. In order to be able to sell all the tickets, they need to be ready as soon as possible. 

My partner Maria and I have decided to divide all the tickets in the groups and to sell them on different steps before the concert. So first 5,000 tickets will be given for sale in 6 month before the concert, so the real fans of our artist will be able to get the tickets. We anticipated that these tickets will be almost sold and we have to produce and give for sale the biggest number of tickets (11,000) in 4 months before the concert. The rest of 2,000 tickets we have decided to sell when there is not much time left before the actual concert. 

As we have agreed that the concert will be in July we are going to start selling our tickets in January. As our design for tickets is ready, we are able to start printing the tickets just one week before a start of selling. In January we will give a batch of 5,000 tickets. From February to May we are planning to sell 2,750 tickets each month and then in June 2,000 tickets. We have decided to start printing of the tickets on the 3rd of January and selling them on 10th January.

- We have also decided to produce a T-shirt as our second graphic design item. We have agreed to produce 6,000 T-shirts and to sell them only before the concert. We are planning to start production of T-shirts in June so we will make sure they are ready before the actual concert in July. Fans can be aware of the T-shirts by checking Annie's website where all the information is going to be presented. We believe that the T-shirts will be sold very quickly as fans always wish to buy a T-shirt on their favourite singer's concert. 

- Maria and Me have chosen a CD digital pack as our third item for graphic designs. The number of copies of CDs is going to be 6,000. The CDs will be sold only at the concert and after it because otherwise less people will want to buy ticket to an actual concert. The limited amount of copies will be sold at the concert together with the T-shirts. To produce 6,000 copies of CDs more time is required, therefore, we have decided to produce them in advance 2 month earlier. People will be aware about the CD, the songs it contains and its price in a while before the concert as we are going to advertise it on the official website of our artist. 

Final Grid.

The launch date: 5th July 2015

I have decided to launch these products on the day of the concert. People will be able to buy new album of the singer before the concert so the real fans will be able to show that they are true fans. The new album will also be available for purchasing at the concert. Later on, the range of graphic designs for Annie Udras will be available on her official website and in music shops,
