give blood group

Today i had to go on the internet and make a group for my campaign, i made the group on Facebook, as thats where i have a lot of people i know on there and that i can get people to join this group quite easily.

Thinking about poster designs.

In this lesson we had to think of two different designs for our campaign poster.
The things we had to think about that would be put on the poster were...

• Image
• Strapline
• Campaign logo
• Campaign Info
  

My Ideas for my two campaign posters i did were...


(ADDING THE TWO POSTERS HERE SOON)

Vox pot task

For this task we were put into groups, we had to film ourselves as if we were interviewing someone, and asking questions to people in our class or students around college about our campaigns, mine being 'Give Blood'.
In my group i had chloe, leanne, sunny, katie and matt. they all worked well as a group i thought.

My 3 campaign questions.

Here are 3 campaign questions i have to asked people if i was going to interview them.

1. have you ever given blood
2. if not, would you ever consider giving blood?
3. what are your opinions about giving blood?

I chose these 3 questions as i think i would get alot of feedback which would help me later on.

A lesson in the week.

A couple of weeks ago we had a lady come in to our college who came in to our classroom and did a talk on making us think of different ways to make a campaign. she taught us quite alot in that lesson about campaigns and what are good adavantages and dissadvantages on them.

• She showed us ways to get our information across to people, and how sometimes using things like leaflets are not as good as you thought they would be to get across, whereas a facebook blog can me sometimes better to use in what kind of campaign you are doing.
• she showed us a slideshow in the classroom of how much effort and time it take to actually put in to campaigns. Also about the campaign of 02, which was really good as it showed how it was put out to people in so many different ways. it was really well put out to the class which was really good.
• she then spoke about the NHS, and that campaign in how many different jobs there are in a hospital aswell. after that we had to do a task for her. which was done in groups, there were all different groups, being receptionist, doctors etc, but our group was about nurses in how they could make the patients feel better.
  
• In this task we worked well as a group and came up with a good poster. that had bright colours to stand out to people. bold writing that would make people read it, and the logo for them to know what the campaign is from and lastly an image for people to look at.

overall i really enjoyed this lesson, i got taught alot which has helped me. and also it was something different for the class.

Researching a campaign.

Today we had tom woodcock come in and talk to us about all different campaigns and evan one he had protested for which was the royal mail strike.

The campaign I've chosen to write about is the mill road Tescos campaign. there was a lot of demonstrations they did. here are a few of them...

Todays work - 25th november

In todays lesson, i got out my stencil to cut out, and started cutting it out, but then i thought about it and i realised it was only going to be done with one colour, which was red, but i thought thats just to plain, so i changed my idea and made it so i have two colours red and black, black being the writing and red for the blood drips. so i went and found steve, so print me of another stencil so i would for both colours. I finally did all that and it came to the end of the lesson.

Todays work - monday 23rd nov.

Today we wrote down all what was going to happen through the week.

then we wrote on a purple sheet of what we needed to do over the week, that we will get done.

lastly i went on my blog , and updated everything i needed to get done, and i got it all done apart from one thing , which i am happy about. so that went well and im glad.

i dont think i could have done anything differently, i did all what i needed and wanted to do to get done, so thats what im quite happy about.

tommorows work i will do my photoshop design, as i need to get that done, printed of so then i can do the stencil and make my t-shirt design.

overall i thought it was a good lesson, and i learnt alot and got things done.

Research and PowerPoint/Keynote.

'News night special on blood sweat and T-shirts'

Watching the video, two girls are interviewed from when they went to the country of where all cheap clothes are made. the girls who went there said it really changed the way they think and feel about the cheap clothes they wear because of how they are made, and how little money the people who make them get and also how much hard work they put into the clothe making.

The girls being interviewed were saying how weird it was to see all the workers in a small room, being all hot and stuffy, they had to look twice to actually realise that these people were making the clothes they wear, which they wasn't taking any care in.

The major brands don't want to be associated with the the very poor practices. there not doing business where the factories are in conditions where they really aren't acceptable.

Primark on the Rack.

this video shows how all the people in the shop just go crazy when there is a new store opening, and also how people are saying they'll go in to primark wear it a few times then just throw it away because its so cheap they don't care. someone also said that they went and bought something came home and realised they already had it, which show how careless people are about buying cheap clothes. when they clearly don't know how its all being made.

One thing also about this video is one item of clothing in primark was selling for £18, it was that popular, it was selling on ebay up to £175!

3 different campaigns for different people.

T-shirt design idea 1 should be a campaign that would improve the quality of your OWN LIFE.
what i said for this was, to make the week shorter at college so monday to thursday, then weekends longer so end thursday so you have friday saturday and sunday off.
T-shirt design idea 2 should be a campaign that would have a positve impact on the lives of OTHERS.
Free bus pass, all over cambridge for students.
It would be useful for students becuase if they got the train to college they could get the bus to college so there not late, or if its a cold day they could just get the bus.
This is relevent to the target audience becuase it only refers to students.

T-shirt design idea 3 should be a LIGHT-HEARTED OR HUMOROUS campaign - something that will make people SMILE.
Free lollies! its not really a worthwhile campaign it just makes people smile.

My Design

For my design, what inspired me to do it was i always the word 'sweet', its just a phrase that's stuck in my head and it sounds kind of cool, and its pretty random, so i liked it as I'm pretty random too! then i realised i loved sweets a lot and I'm so addicted to them, so this gave me the idea of the lolly to put under the word sweet.

I quite like my design i think it could be pretty successful. its not something i love a lot, i just think it's pretty good because it has one big bold word then the lolly which has the colour in it.

For the connotations, it makes me think of flavour of the lolly, i.e a strawberry flavour. also its quite playful with the colour and phrase of text.

The design i think goes quite well with the age group, but for someone who is quite indie and different with what they wear, that who i think would wear it at that age.

My design could definatly be improved. Its not a great design that i love, Its just a cool funky design i just chose to do because i liked the idea. so yes i do think there could be improvements.

Banksy

Uk street artists called Banksy. is necessity, one of the anonymity. His work is currently seen around the planet. the exception though is that no one is sure who he actually is. There have been a fair few claims to his true identity but none have ever been definate to date.

who is banksy? We don't know at all who he is or his name, but we know his art work is from a passionate individual. So what do we actually know about banksy? The art of his paintings, stencils and other pieces of art relate to serious social issues. his work creates a sence of humour, making it possible that you will probably laugh, or cast your eyes on it and really look at it in detail.

My Design and 3 other design's in the group.

These photos here show my design i made for the T-shirt. i chose this because i thought i always say the word 'sweet' and its kind of just random and something i always say i thought ill use it. then i remembered i always eat sweets, i love them , and they obviously have the same word for different meanings. so i thought this seemed pretty creative, ill use them and put them together somehow, and i did.

3 other designs that other people did that i liked the best.

There are 3 designs that 3 different people did in my group. these are the 3 i liked the most.

i think they are all pretty successful designs, they all do have things they could improve on them i.e the top left one is quite plain, it could have more of a design to it. secondly the top right design could have it more eye catching, its quite a loud saying on it 'go crazy' you would have thought it would have more of a bigger design to it. so that could be one change for the design. lastly the bottom design. It's a good design and i like it. to be honest there's not much i would change about it, maybe a big more bolder , but apart from that nothing else.

These 3 designs all go for the right target audience we were meant to go for, 16 to 19 year old students. the top right photo is more for a girl i think, and the top left, but the bottom photo would be quite a unisex design for a T-shirt, which is pretty creative.

overall they are 3 good designs that would be successful.

The Pie charts.

This is a pie chart or where those who are 17 that agree and disagree whether everyone to be richer. and those who are 16 that agree and disagree with the statement.

This is a chart where girls and boy either agreed with everyone to be richer or disagreed with it.

3rd post

This is the break down of my favourite t-shirt, it has information about the t-shirt, i.e. where its from how much it costs, why i liked it and things like that.

2nd post

i really liked this T-shirt which was of the website 'Threadless' i thought it was quite funny, and i like the brightness of the tee as it stands out which is a good eye catcher. i think this top is quite different, and humorous.

The cost of this Tee is $15 , and evan with shipping it is still the same amount.

this T-shirt i chose i quite liked out of all the t-shirts on the website , i wouldn't ever buy it though, its not that good really, it was just the only good one on the website thats why. The one thing i like about it is what it says , as im short so i found it quite funny! but as i said its not that good , its plain and simple , whereas the other top above what the women is wearing, it is much better, more creative and funny, it's definitely more of an eye catcher than this top.

history of T-shirts is varied with great historical reconances. T-shirts are a political tool and also something to cover nudity. the history of T-shirts are to place important and life changing messages in to the public!

• The T-shirts came from undergarments used in the 19th centery.
• T-shirts first came popular in the united states

Since the late 1980s and especially the 1990s, T-shirts with prominent designer-name logos have become popular, especially with teenagers and young adults. These garments allow consumers to flaunt their taste for designer brands in an inexpensive way, in addition to being decorative. Examples of designer T-shirt branding include Calvin Klein, FUBU, Ralph Lauren and The Gap. These examples also include representations of rock bands, among other obscure pop-culture references.
