Last week we were given our breif, to design a leaflet to advertise the orange trees new menu and look. Our team saw that the main colours were orange, black green and white, so we decided to base our esign for the leaflet of the that. I think that we were aiming for a kind of modern but with a rustic bistro feel in our leaflet. Also we did our research report i think that my report is getting alot better i have done some workat home and its almost finnished. Next week i want to get started on taking photos of food. I think it will be good practise for the breif. We went to the cafe for research to help our breif, this way we can see the feel of it and what style the leaflet should be. We discovered that they had alot of competion near the cafe but it definatly stands out because of its bold colour scheme.

Lat week we had to design a logo and a choose a font for a new brand of dog food called Doggie Yum. I decided to pick a modern themed design. I chose a green background because i think that it reflects nature and the outdoors. I then chose a rough font to contrast the smoothness of the background this makes it stand out and it looked really good i think. I then added a logo of a dog paw to show what it was for and for it to stick in your head. I think that altogether it looked really professional and good. After this we had to present our ideas from last week, i did most of the talking and took the lead role in the presentation of coming up with ideas and pitching them. We had a good idea of selling all the parts of the camera separately to get the most money. I think that we did the best of all the groups showing that we worked well together and that we produced some good work. For the rest of the day we finished working on our research report.

Need to blog for week 2! try to include much more reflective commentary.

In the last lesson we were assigned the task to create an advertisement selling a bundle of two cameras and accessories. Our group did this by taking photos of the cameras on white paper, we did this to show the camera more clearly and make it stand out using contrast, we also dismantled the cameras to give the illusion that the camera had more parts. Our advert was an online advert for eBay or a website like it because we research that eBay receives much more viewings than adverts in papers because people tend to skip past it the newspaper whereas on eBay people are specifically looking for cameras so the advert goes to the right people rather than people that don't want or need a camera. Next lesson we will pitch our advert idea to the class and show what is good and what is bad about it. I think we will do well because we have done a lot of good research on the prices and where to advertise, so i think we should do quite well. We could improve on the efficiency which we work because we spent a lot of taking photos because our camera kept breaking down, so in future we should check our cameras before working and fix them.
