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.

Notes from discussion:

Week 6

This week we went to the Orange Tree Cafe in Cambridge and were given a brief to make an A5 leaflet advertising the cafe and also letting people know that it is there.

Background:

The orange tree used to becalled Cafe 11 and has recently been taken under new management and is now being marketed as a country modern cafe that is inexpensive but up class establishment. It has just made a new menu and has been refurbished from head to toe.

Brief:

Our brief is to make an A5 handout to draw attention to the cafe and let people know that the orange tree cafe is open for business. We also need to show that it is making good quality home cooked food that is also inexpensive.

Also our handout has to be able to be put on the Internet or distributed via email to gain interest through that medium.

I made good progress towards the brief describing what we had to do well and feel ready for the next stage of the project.

Week 5

This week we finished the project about selling the camera equipment for the right price and then getting the information about the product to the right people. In my group I took a leading role in making our poster and communicated will with my group. In the presentation I Didn't speak as well as I could have but tried my hardest to present the information we collected in a profesional presentation.

In the afternoon we worked in the same groups but this time making a brand of dog food called doggie yum we made a few good ideas and by the end of the time limit we had made a really good logo combining 2 of our ideas to make a really good one. In the group I worked well contributing my ideas and communicating as best as possible with the rest of my teem. I think the final outcome showed that we all were able to contribute but also struggled with the presentation at the end.

We also did some more work on our research project comparing 2 adverts. I chose the compeer the meerkat adverts and made some good progress towards the end but still have lots more work to do.
