Deadline day

I have finally finished all of my assignments and created all of my packages that I have needed to be made. The last things I had to do were to finish off my Evaluation and then arrange my folder in the correct order for marking. After I had arranged my folder, I handed everything in along with all of the packages and T-Shirts that I had made within this Unit.

Friday's lesson

On the Friday's lesson I have finally finished my packages and they are ready to be printed off, during this lesson I have to cut and then fold the final packages ready for Monday's lesson where people get to see what I have created and get to comment on what it looks like by using the comment sheet that I have made.

Final Shoebox & Bag Design

I have now finished the design of my shoebox and will soon print it out on card to fully fold into the final shoe box. The sort of style I went with the shoebox was a simple one but still things added to it, on the sides of the shoebox I have added a lot of the company logos going in a diagonal and repeating along the whole side. On the top of the box I have added just the companies name in the same font that is on the logo, on the bottom I have put on a barcode with shoe information (size, name, shoe code etc.) The whole shoebox is coloured blue for SoleMan and I have made it so SoleWoman's box is pink.

I have also finished designing my bags for the company, the bag is also a really simple design, blue for SoleMan and pink for SoleWoman to match with the genders and shoeboxes. At the bottom of the box I have added the company logo.

Finished logo design

I have now finished my design for my logo, I first drew it out on napkin sketches and then I drew it out on the computer using a graphics tablet on Photoshop.

4/5/2012

I have printed my 3D packaging out, to see what it will look like fully made. I have also done it to see which faces are the right ones where I can print my design on to.

Company Pitch

Company Pitch

I think my pitch went really well, when I first started I was really nervous but as I got further into the pitch I got more convident with myself and got my point across clearly and precisely.

I was fairly happy with the way I presented my pitch but I think I could have been more prepared for it and get ready for the questions that followed.

From doing the pitch I gained more confidence and gained more knowledge about preparing for a presentation.

20th March 2012

We have been looking at different ways of advertising products, branding products, logo's and how companies sell their products to their target audience. We have watch two television programs that shows us how the companies were being advertised and how much money they were making from people buying their products. We also have learnt about three new terms related to companies and brands, Brand Loyalty, Brand Association and Brand Recognition. 

I am now thinking of three different companies to create and then choose one of the three to actually have as my own company, once I have the company I will be designing all of the aspects of the company.

We also played the logo board game as a group, which was showing how well we knew different companies and brands. We also did some handouts which had logos printed on them with parts of them blanked out so we had to guess what they were.

31st March 2012

I have now chosen the company that I will be making, the companies name will be SoleMan for the men section and SoleWoman for the female section. I also have the three products that I will be designing for my company and I also have an idea for my logo design. During the Reading Week I will have to create a pitch for my company to present to three other students, and I have also been asked to complete a questionnaire to give to my fellow students to complete after my pitch. I also need to finalise my napkin sketches for my company logos.
