The Second Day of Planning

In today's session, it was the next day of planning. Unfortunately, we did not get onto the part when we take our top 3 ideas onto Adobe Photoshop and create the final, final flyer. Instead, our main objective was to finish off our drafts and create a questionnaire for our market research. I was hoping to contribute even more than the last session we had so I could prove to my group that I can do more for my group apart from doing tasks myself. Fortunately, this shows my self-manager skills.

We started to finish our final flyer designs. This is my final flyer design (have to use the same picture from last post because that was the finished design):

I spent a lot of time on this design. First, it was just a rough design on a block of an A3 piece of paper, now it has completed the stages of tweaking and is the final drawn copy. I added a farm background as a cow comes from a farm. Blue sky is added to give a more calm, naturalistic feel to the flyer. The idea of 'hot milk' coming out of the cow's udder is original. I included location information on the flyer so people can find Shakin' Moo's. I also put on the flyer that people would get a free topping with this flyer as the previous flyers have that same information and this would manipulate customers to come to Shakin' Moo's to purchase a milkshake. Hopefully with a free topping. I included the slogan 'fresh and hot' to describe the product without describing it how it looks like and the ingredients in a massive paragraph. You always need to keep the slogan short and simple so the reader could memorise this easily. This is what I have done with my slogan. I hope this design would be the actual design for the flyer.

Below is Matiss's final idea and James's final idea. Both have a catchy slogan. James's final idea has a great font. Matiss's final idea has to split settings which is smart. Take a look:

Meanwhile, we were given our second task. We decided to create a table for to go around the school and take down peoples opinions about my idea, Matiss's idea and James's idea. However, the table idea was too complicated and complexed. I decided to take a more easier approach for my group as they were struggling. The idea I came up with was a tally. To double check if this was a good idea, I checked with my teacher. He agreed with this so we decided to create a tally. The questions on the tally were:

• Which idea do you think is the best?


• Which idea shows the product well?


• Which ideas font do you like the best?

In total, we asked 11 people which were in our CRAM class. I was a little bit disappointed and annoyed about the results because people only judged the drawings instead of the idea even though we were going to use these ideas on Adobe Photoshop to create the final product and not even use the drawings. I felt sorry for Matiss because as we know Matiss is not that much of an artist, however his idea was very good. In my opinion, my idea could of been successful but they were judging the drawing...

Our target would be to create less complexed ideas and to create simple ideas (table to tally). Next week I really hope that this time we would be going on Photoshop to create the final product.
