Week 12

This week was presentation week and so we were scrambling to get the presentation ready to show to everybody. We also had to decide between what reverse side to use.

The 2 options were:

We selected the second one as we felt it fitted best with the new menu.

The final presentation went well and I felt that I had gotten over most of my presentation fears.

The final handout looks like this:

Week 11

this week we were prepering to present and this means that we had to make a power point presentation showing our:

- Market research

- Different design ideas

- Our shoot

- As well as the the preparations towards the final design.

we also finished the final drafts of our leaflet. they look really good and so we spent a lot of time to make small changes to make them look as good as possible.

i am very happy with the results and feel ready for the presentation next week.

Week 10

This week we took our final pictures of the food. This meant that we had to go down to the restaurant and take as many good pictures from different angles and of different dishes that were there. This was hard work because for each shot we needed to change the position of the plate the camera angle and move the light reflector. I did well in this and took a very forward role in it as well as controlling myself enough to let the other members of my group take a turn to use the cameras and set up the shots.

These pictures are all shots that my group made.

we also continued with our final designs making sure the look reallygood and making them as ready as possible before we took the shots. this went well and i used a special program on my laptop to create a really amazing trial image this worked well.

i felt that i have included my group as much a possible through the use of email as well a talking to them on the day about what we should do.

Over all i felt i worked well and did a lot of good work towards the end of the project.

Hi Peter. Good blogging and you are using "I" really well. Now develop this even further and in more detail eg plan your next week's work and discuss your progress in more depth.

Week 9

this week we did lots of questionnaires about what people thought about our flyers it way really fun but i found that i was nervous about asking people to answer our questionnaire. however we go quite a few responses for the time we had.

we also made some good final versions of our handouts. they look really good and during the week in made a really good version of one. and on the day also made a really good final version of our other idea.

Week 8

This week we started by having a catch up lesson to make sure we are all at the same stage. I worked well but found i had little to do as i had already done all but one of the tasks. the one task i did do went well and i could help out a member of my group with another task i had already done.

In the second part of the day we worked more as groups continuing our designs and making final designs. i worked well drawing up a final design as well as helping improve on another and annotating the work.

Original other idea:

Improved other idea:

My annotated idea:

i think i did really well and produced some good work.

Week 7

This week we did some research about food and what made a good food photograph we got the chance to practice taking good pictures of the food provided. This did not go as well as it could have so I have decided to take pictures of the food I eat at home to improve my skill in that area.

This is a picture of some of the food we took pictures of. I think it is an OK photo but there are areas to improve for example t is too crowded and the background looks messy because it is not one colour but a whole scene.

This is a professional photo of some food and I aim to mach it some day.

we also had a group discussion about how we should make the handout look we made good progress making a final decision on what we should make the handout look like. i contributed well in the group but sometimes found that my ideas were ignored.
