Q

What are the advantages of set designs?

A

Set designs allow audiences to see the overall layout of the studio. In relation to the brief this means the kitchen and preparation areas are shown in relation to the audience and presenters.

Set designs allow audiences to visualise the colour scheme through annotations to ensure the brand identity of the programme is instantly recognisable.

Set designs allow audiences to visualise space and size of the studio. This may build up anticipation for any baking challenges the contestants face as part of the fun ethos of the programme.

Allow an evaluation of social media as a suitable feedback method of sharing a set design set document.

important to also include a visualisation diagram. This would enable Krishna to
consolidate ideas and develop the brand across social media.
