Today, we all went to Shakin' Moo's. We were briefed on the job in hand which is to make an advert for the Chocolate Brownie milk shake or the hot shake. I think that my co-worker misunderstand the brief as when we brain stormed he had gone on about the packaging of the Tesco Brownie for the shelf but I could have misunderstood the brief. I think I will do good in the work as I do not mind working in that group. if I could choose the brief I wanted to do the hot shake as the idea's the group came up with are good. The plan at the moment is to use a Shakin' Moo's container in a Ski Jacket and edit with Photoshop so it looks like it is in a cold or hot place. I doubt that it may be hard to make this but it could look great if we use that idea.

Photographic technique

Today we had to go and take pictures of random objects. We got the Wrench! It doesn't look like one but it would seem it is. My group took photographs of the Wrench in many positions. The Photo shows the wrench on a rail. When you look at the photo, you are led into it from the bottom left corner and you then start to follow the wall to the rail which you then follow until you come to the Wrench. Diagonals always work very well to lead you in but need to be well focussed as in this shot. You then think - "what is it"? I didn't take this shot but I took another but sadly the colour was not bright.

Change over to Photography

Today we changed over to Photography. We had to look at plumbing companies in the yellow pages and select an advert that appealed to us. After a short time, we selected a company. Then we had to make a small, quick Plumbing advert which might appeal to people. Then we had to make four Lunch designs for a made up company as it would show us how we would could create quick and simple designs.

We had to work in teams to make certain aspects of our adverts bigger and better. We wanted a picture of a Van but there was no Internet connection so we were stuffed. We where given a small Camera so we took a picture of the guy off "Envirophone" from one of the teams iTouch and then we imported the image onto the PC and edited the image with Photoshop and saved it.

I think we would have done better if the Internet was working as we could have downloaded any images we felt we needed.
