25/03/2010 Folder check - First designs

Today we had a folder check. I am easily confused with folders so I needed help so that I know what to do. I needed to make more designs for my folder as Charley and Ronnie had not made three designs. I made 8 more designs. I thought it would be easy but I ran out of ideas.

I made rough pencil sketches of: -

1. Penquin in a Cave wearing a fiery Jacket.
2. Competing Milk Shakes
3. Cow with Flames coming out of it's nose.
4. The Shakin' Moo's logo on fire.
5. Shakin' Moo's Milk shake bar on fire.
6. A Volcano with Milk shake coming out of it with Lava also flowing out.
7. A Blow-torch to warm up the shake.
8. A cup with hearts saying "I love Shakin' Moo's

The group did not care about what I had done as they all decided that they should go with the flaming Cow and had completed the research for this. I agreed with them.

The second thing I had to do was add more to my research report. I thought it would be easier to do at home as I had been told that youtube was down. what I needed to do was add is some work on researching fast food adverts.

I feel that in today's lesson my group did not comunicate with me at all as when I asked about the notes when they had made the three designs they had not made any!

18th March 2010 - Market Research

Today I had to go in to town with Charlie to get results for research on which advert was the best. The Flaming Cow is the most popular of them, but Charlie wanted to forge the results so he could go back! I said that we should ask at least 10 people. I think we asked 18 people in total.
one of the problems was that not a lot of people want to help us in the work as they where in a rush to get to where they had to be. From our survey, we found that the Flaming Cow was the most popular. The reason for this is that it was the most eye-catching with the best picture and text. I enjoyed today as a lot of work had been done. The hard thing is that with the Flaming cow is it's going to be hard to make. I tried hard with this and struggled with this which was a bit worrying.

Hi Patrick

Well done for including the image but please try to reflect on your work in more detail.

11 march

Today I tried to find an image of a Cow and FIRE but the Cow image was not that good. It was not big a enough for the advert. I need to edit a image of a Cow and put the image in the fire background. At Parkside next week, I think I need a picture of the camouflage as I think that the Cow should be in that design. Not much happened today as we had a different teacher as I didn't under stand what to do as the work was continuing from last lesson and the work was finished or close to being finished.

04/03/2010

Today I came back as I had been ill. I was shocked at the work which had been done as I thought that the Brownie Shake idea was good and I thought we were going to use it but it would seem that the Hot Shake is what we are now doing. When I got back, I asked what was going on. I was told we had three designs. These are: -

A Cup in Snow.
A Cup on Fire.
A Flaming Cow.

I understand that I was ill for a day but I didn't know that we had to make three designs and if so why didn't they use the Shakin' Moo's Cup in the Ski Jacket? Maybe I had the notes on this but as I was ill I was not there so the group did what they could. This is the only reason I can think of as to why they opted for other designs.
