Yesterday (21st oct 09)

Yesterday I thought the work was not my sort of thing, I managed to do the SDS but took a while for me to come up with good ideas for the sheet.
Today Im gonna carry on with the brief and follow the tasks and try to get someof it completed, I'm going to do the last two instructions when I come back from Half term.

Wednesday 21st Oct

Today has been ok, not really what I like and am into, but im trying to keep my chin up, I find it hard doing work on something I really dont like, Im just one of those people who just dont know how to work on advertisements and dont find any interest in it.

Still its for college work so i'm focusing on my grade result and work.
Today has been tricky and havent really much idea what I could do to make it better.]
Hopefully tomorrow shall be a better day and I can focus and be more enthusiastic about the Unit.

Until then I shall see what else needs amending.

19/10/09 Blog update

I have learnt a little more about advertising, as I am going through the 12 pages for the four different subjects I find I am learning a little more as I go along.
At first I had no idea whether I could manage with this Unit and be not be able to understand what I was doing.

Also today in key skills we did some work on advertising.
We had to find an advertisement and write up what we thought about it and follow the sheet instructions. We are going to carry with it more next week.

Unbelievable day!

Today has been a good day, I cannot believe the amount of work I have done, I am ahead of my planner that I planned out wednesday, All I have to do now is Product Branding and Product Advertising. Hopefully then I Shall have it done for the weekend or Monday, either way I am determined to get all my work done whether I do feel drowsy in the afternoon or not.

Again I am happy with the work I have done and am pleased with myself, tomorow I shall make a start on Product Branding.

Above is 1 of the 4 images I took a photo of for a billboard example and used this for my work. This photo was taken outside my local train station.

Monday 12.10.09

Today we started a new Unit which is Unit 5, John is still ill, so we had Billy to cover the day.
We went to the Liabary to start our work off, we had to come with ideas for an advert on either the following objectives
. A Fashionable item of clothing
. A musical instrument
. An item of sports equipment
. A computer game console (we had the option of choosing a game character or something to do with a game)
I chose option D

We had to arrange 4 images, one being in four different age groups, e.g 10-16, 16-19, 20-25 and 35-45

I think it went ok, but when it came to showing my ideas I didnt think it went well, i forgot to add my taglines to the poster.
I then went to the liabary and started working on my taglines and my rationale.
I have now done this and shall type them up as soon as possible, hopefully being in a minute after I have typed this blog.

long day (thursday)

Today has been a long and hot day.
We have had a cover tutor due to John Clamp being unwell still.
Sarah has taught us how to use powerpoint the way John would want us to write up our evaluations.
Also we have SDS (Self-Directed-Study)-(Homework) which is to go over and to do things for an intro sheet for our next unit which is unit 9.

All I know is that I will have a long weekend of work, I have the research to fit in, I am going to do only 4-5 pages of research as I have only two posters and have a hell of alot of work more to do such as the power point evaluation and also a little tiny bit more on photoshop.
I shall to my best to finish this all off.

Enjoy the weekend all.
Luke :)

Wednesday (without John)

Today we had Billy as our tutor.

Also I printed off my photos and wrote where I found them and what I think of them and also why I chose them.

I have also typed up my evaultation for poster 1 and will make a very quick start on poster 2 and try and to finish it, I will also try to make a very quick start on the finishing 10 pages and try my very best to get them all done.

Hard work is needed over tommorow and the rest of the week I expect.

I cannot upload my image unfortntley but I shall try another time.

Monday 5th october

Today I worked on my first a3 poster and managed to get it finished.
For SDS I am going to to do a grid sheet to help me understand what tools I used so that I can add that to my work for screen grabs.

When I have finished the screen grabs work I shall start going onto the finishing research 10 pages.

Alot of work to do from now.

Luke :)

Keys skill discussion

I thought the things that went well were that I managed to speak and I agreed with other people by using different words.
Also I answered questions John asked and i was using eye contact to show I was listening.
I also sat with open body language.
And lastly I nodded to show I was listening to other peoples views on the discussion.

How could it have been better.
I could have filled in my sheet and used that for research, and I didn't ask any questions.

I think I should prepare a question or two for future discussions and I should have time to go over of what i have to do.

Today( Thursday)

A tiring and yet a hot day to work through.

I found today a little hard to keep up with, I have started my first A3 poster and hopefully should be able to get it done in time, I may have to go into college tomorow and finish it off seeing as I dont have photoshop and cannot access my H drive at home.

Bye bye!

Mock posters

Yesterday we started planning work on our A3 Posters, we are going to start our first one today.
We also went out yesterday and took photos following instructions from the sheet we had.

The photos worked out well and some people found other photos funny.

Some examples are on the page.

The day before that I stuck I my mock posters in my sketch book and wrote about them.

I will update this later when more work is done throughout the day.
