2010 :)

<----Front of leaflet!
<----Back Of Leaflet!
These last two weeks we have been working hard to put everything together we are goin to use or get our ideas from, researching alot of information looking up images, advertiments and all types of different ways to advertise something , such as a product to raise awarness or food & drink. After researching all these things think about how we are going to make ours so its point is very clear, it stood out , people knew what it was going on about and clear out standing images to attract costomers! Also a clear map of the location for new comers.

So me and melissa talked and got together all our great ideas we had and make a succsessful leaflet. We did this on phtoshop which i hardly know how to use as its just so cnfusing with all the tools that do different things you just dont know what your doing :\ So while i tought of more ideas mlissa was the photoshop pro ! after a whole day of hard work on photoshop , we had our final design in front of us ! we came up with a short detailed leaflet with images that were edited and very clear and imposing.
We culd improve our leaflet by getting a cleaer map to show to location as the map we managed to get is not very clear and heard to look at. Otherwise i think our leaflet is actuallu really good after all the exhaustion it was worth while.
The week after it was pitch day which i did not manage to go to being ill. As melissa had to do it on her own but surprisley went well and got positive feedback. This was helpful as we know where we need to improve and the good things we can keep such as our image we took of mr moo ! our image of all the sweets bursting into the milshake cup which was really god and worked really well as chris says and thats the image he took with him. we need to improve it a little bit by just getting a map thats clearer and making it a bit bolder.
Other then that we ae all good! :)

16:12:09 ( week untill Chirstmas :D )

At parkside today so went off to shakin Moos for our project and take pictures of anything we are including in our advertisment . i didnt know what really to take pictures of i just knew i wanted the picture of the Mr Moo costume in one :) as its just soo cool ! so taking pictures of random things in the shop and editing as we went along after takign them evaluating them but i wasnt too sure what i was doing so just let melissa do it as i sat in a MASSAGE CHAIR :D while having a little snooze then i had an idea and it turned out to actually work! we took a picture outside the shop with Mr Moo welcome people in with baloons :) i Thought this worked well ad its sort of incouragign you to come in pointing towards the door with a big smile on its face :D
after about taking 10 pictures and looking at them all thinking anythign we could do to make this picture look perfessional so we are editing them on photoshop aftre edidting mine i think mine would look soo well on a leaflet as its like a comic for younge teenages and very colourful and cheerful :) i know if i was handed this i would know where to go :D However now all we have to
do is come up with a good idea for the pitch and use this idea in our advertisment and hopefully it will work. I did find it quite hard to understand everything even though it sounded easy i was very cofused about what i was doing but trie my hardest to get what was saying.

Hi Shona

As we discussed try to continue talking about what you did personally ie your thoughts, contributions etc - try to be reflective.

Shakin 'Moos ..26.11.09


Today we went down to shakin Moos in town to chat to the owner " chris " to go with our shakin moos project which is baseically to advertise shakin moos to get more shoppers in town to go down to shakin moos instead of walking straight passed it. We want to make it stand out and him himself the onwer wishes his shop was more known to everyone and he would really like more customers. so after writing down loads of notes and plannign throught and researching alot of things and his sort of buisness and what he would like to acheieve after. I mwas quite bored just sittign there and listenign and didnt really get most of the things chris was on about but it was intresting in a way to know abit about Shakin Moos what everybody loves.
After an Hour of writing notes and researching we went back to the classroom and summerised everythign and Mr H told us everythign we need to think of and how we need to do it and gave us a little bit of advise, then we went off in groups after lunch and just compared the two compitions websites and said all the good and things about them and thought of waht we will use and what kinds of media to use, also how much text and thought of a little bit of what to say already. so Today has just been planning, notes and loads and loads of boring information to take in :/ :(
Hopefully if we win our pitch we will get FREE MILKSHAKES ! :D But i highley doubt we will win ! As its quite hard to come up with extreme idea that will work and actually incourage people to go to shakin Moo's ... :D <3

<-- Mr Moo !!

Hi Shona

Great work here! You are describing what you have learnt and also reflecting on the process itself. Try to include even more detail, how did you arrive at your final ideas and how did you refine your ideas? Try to show detailed steps of how you got from the beginning to the end.

5.11.09 Advertising




Well today we were working on our new project, all about advertising , as Mr H was'nt here today we had a cover teacher and bieve it or not was quite enjoyable today and i actually got o to do my work well and undrstood it. Ours Group had to come up with all ideas and ways to save the planet! and thats what were advertising about, we needed something striking and big to actually get people to try and save the world jut buy eaither , Recycle. But we just decided to bring all our ideas together and makea final poster . We decided to make our advert on the globe and the climate change and the ice caps melting , so soon before we kno it we are planning our poster and making t on phtoshop which i can use finally (: it was easy but at the same time hard to be creative with all the ideas about the earth and make a gdoster and at the same time persuade people.



Our group planned our pitch and came up with our scricp for our presentations after we made our posters.When everyone had finished everyon e showed their poster and we were second, after laughing of embarssment as we were up we finally read out our peice and explained the poster as well as we could. we said all the things why we used a melting globe and why we used the text we did and explained our slogon of what it meant and how it would effect people and what we thought the advert could do and pesonally i thought it could work and actually make peopel read it and take notice of it but obviuosly not :L ohwell ...... I think we could of improved our work by using out time wisley and making sure we done the best we could of done a discussing about it to see if it worked for everyone. Our work in the group, i searched for loads of pictures to do with global warming and all the sorts of things to do with it ad put it al together to come up with a good idea. i foun today interesting and even had agood old laugh at the same time mostly laughing at jonathan :L but sshh ..only because for somereason his presentation was so funny god old cram eh ?!:)

Campaign Blog:D

Today the hole class were split in two groups, and are doing different things then we will swap after a few weeks . At first i was a bit annoyed that i was spplit up from jess but Its okaii coz im with some decent peopel :) and worked well . it was all team work and Mr Hind showed us a few flyers for ideas and also we looked at the yellow pages adverts to also see a few good and bad points about advertising something and incouraging people to buy or call the advert\leaflet.ect. Then we had to come up with a tem name for our group of 3's which we still havent thought of as its hard to come up with a name that suites us and that sounds catching and bold! hopefully we will come up with a good one ....... Soon . After a while we mr hind gave us a subject to do our advertising flyer which was Sandwhiches that we devoved to people that wok so we came up with " Super Sandwiches * Which i love :) :L .. .also we had to think of the text to go with it and our slogon that was " We bring you a sandwhich and a Smile " we thought this would catch the puplic eye somehow as for once they dont have to go and get their sandwhiches all they do is call and order and we deliver!. ..

Here are some of the pictures we took that we are going to edit and se them for our flyer.

this image of a cup of coffee really worked well but took ages to get it right, but worked in a good way as the colours went together and made the coffee which was the main subject stand out.Also there is lead in lines to make it look more attractive and perfessional.







This picture of our main subject the sandwich , is the most important and we wanted it to be almost perfect. we tried lots of different things and took loads and loads of pictures at different angles and did different things with each one, but this perticular one was the Best one by far.
