WEEK 8 x.x

The last and finel week before the presentation. both ammie and mr hind are absent. the presentation is only half done. lots of our documents are saved on mr hinds memory stick. some serios organisation is needed. So, to get everythng organised so we could be the most productive we could be i wrote a list of the things we needed to do, priorised them and set about to do them. this was very helpful because imade a caotic situation more bareable and made sure i was neer wasteing time

first we worked on our presentation. this was not as difficult as it could have been because

then i thought that we should plan the presentation so it would go smoothly with the client. it was my idea that we write a script of what evryone is going to say. i did that, makeing sure that everyone who wanted a big part got a big part and everyone that wanted a small part got a small part. however i dident want to leave enyone out. so i made sure that everyone got and equal amount of sentences but the people that only wanted small parts got the short sentences. i gave myself the biggist part because i wanted quite a  big part and also i had made the presentation so i knew it well already. also, evan tho im sure aimee would want a larger part she is not hear and so it wouldent work that well.

arfter i had finished all of that and made sure everyone had copys, i planned what i would need to do. next week is the fiel day aswell as the presentation so there would be alot to do. to make sure i did everything i needed to i broke everything down in small and easy tasks and then prioritised them.

WEEK 7 =O)

first we had a group meeting. we decided that Today we will finish of our leaflet desighn once and for all because we thought we should get that done so we new we'd have it finished. We also thought we would start makeing the powerpoing presentation to present to our client. I thought this was good and it was nice to feet our prioritys sorted so that everyone new exactly what we were doing.

However when we looked at the designs Aimee thought we should try a different type of leaflet and go back to one of our earlier designs because she thought it would be more strikeing. I disagread for the same reason we dident chose that one in the first place. So to compramise I said that amimme could try to desighn what she thought would be good and il work on the presentation and then we could compare desighns at the end. This was effective because it diverted a possible argument and made sure we lisend to everyone and acturly did pic the write design

then i made the power point for the presentation we will be doing next week. this was good because it was quite satisfying to present our work and make it look professional and I enjoyed being proud of what we had done. However it was quite hard to do because we hadn't really finished yet. so, i made a sort of skeleton of a presentation and planned where everything would go, without the information which we will put in next week. This was good because acturly it was alot quiker than if I had put the info in then whitch ment I could see alot easyer where everything should go.


then I wrote the words that would go in our leaflet. i looked up some leaflets of similer cafes and tryed to write in a similer style. i thought this went really well. Because the finishing product really did sound like a cheesy cafe leaflet. It was also good that I had taken notes during the brife because these became very useful when writeing up the information

in the end we held a nesting to decide whitch design would look best. It was my idea to take it around the class and ask their opinion. In the end, takeing into account of our feedback and our own desigens we decided to stick to the original design.

WEEK 6 B)

working......

TRYING to work......

Firstly i thought we should have 'The Meeting' which was when the group as whole can come together and talk about what we have to do and discuss some design ideas. this worked well and i recorded the meeting so we could come back to the decigens. it was a great sucsess because it really set us up for the day and we all started off knowing what we were doing.
Then we decided we would go out to the Orange tree cafe to take pictures of the outside. me and amiee shared the job of camera-woman and i think i took some great photos.

Then we had to take pictures of the food. i found this ifficult becaue the light was really bad, so I turned the food in different lights. they were also bad because we were the last to use them so the food looked a little manky, so i asked someone if we could have a new plate and washed the cutlery. so tht it looked neater.

Then we edited the pics. i edited one of the photographs on photoshop and i thought that was really good. i enjoyed working on photoshop because it was satisfying to see a bad picture come to life. i changes balence, brigtnes and contrast to make a moldy, unapitising looking saled into the bright, helthy fresh thing it had been that morning. sort of like '10 years younger' for vegetables.

i think i worked well this lesson and got a lot done. i have a very posotive feeling about this project and looking forward to seing the finished result.
