LO1 Comparing 4 Different Campaigns

<<<This is a poster for Children in Need. The things i think are good about it is that there is a lot of colour used and it is very eye catching. It has the Children in Need logo at the top and it is very clear to see. I think that this poster will appeal mostly to children because it has all the children's TV characters on there all together. I also like that they have used the same idea of the Beatles album but instead they have linked it in with Children in Need and all the children's characters. I think the poster makes you feel happy because of the use of colour and all the characters are happy.

<<This is one of lots of NSPCC posters. I picked this one out to analyse because i think it gets the point across straight away. The picture of the baby all bruised and beaten up makes people feel upset and it gets the point across that there are children like this that get beaten up badly and that NSPCC need our help to stop this cruelty on children. I think this poster is very good because it makes you feel something inside and then you stop and think about it.

 

<<<This is an advert for the RSPCA. I think it is good because it gets the point across that animals still get beaten up or left by themselves as well as children. The advert shows you an abandoned cat left by its owner, it makes you think that there are lots more animals like this and that the RSPCA could help abandoned animals if we donate money or things to the charity shops.

<<<This is the Child line poster. I think the writing they have put on the poster is really good because it says `its your music, its your clothes, its your friends......` which is more direct with the audience and it is saying that it is your body and life so you should be in charge of that and not be forced by other people. Also it makes you feel more good about yourself and that you can call child line if you feel you need to.

LO2 Our Logos and Poster

<<<<This is one of my groups logos, he is called red cross man. we have used mainly reds and blues because the link into the red cross charity. He has a big red cross on his chest which symbolise the red cross in the charity. We thought of having a red cross man as a super hero because people from red cross go out and help in lots of different situations, so they are like super hero's to others.

<<< This is our poster we have designed to raise awareness of the red cross charity. We have put our slogan `Donate Don't Dump` in the middle in big bold letters to make it stand out and we thought that the saying `donate don't dump` would be quite catchy so people will remember it. We have one of our logos in the top left of the poster which is quite clear so people can read it. The red box with writing in it tells you what we want you to do and where/when you can donate things. At the bottom we have a row of pictures of children with sad faces because we thought it will make people feel sorry for them children and might make them realise that if they donate the children wont be sad and they will be happy. Also we have added another slogan at the bottom saying `Help Them Help Us`.

<<<<This is my groups other logo design. We have used this as our final logo.  We have added the red cross again to link it into the charity. We have called our group `Crazy Cross Converse Campaign` we have linked the name to the charity (Cross) and added campaign into our name because that is what we are doing. We then added the little logo next to the cross, we made the logo using four C`s to link in with our groups name.   

LO1 First reactions to Brief and Tasks

My first reactions when we got given our brief and the tasks we had to do was it looks like a lot of work and some tasks look easier than others. Also when i looked at the tasks and briefs i thought some looked quite interesting and fun to do but some didn't look as interesting.
My opinion on donating is that i think it is a good idea because it helps out the less fortunate and charity shops are also a great idea because you can give them your things that you don't use anymore which helps you out and at the same time it is helping out someone else who is less fortunate. My opinion on campaigns is that i think that they are a good idea because they let you express your feelings towards something and they let other people know more about the thing you are campaigning for.

Brief of Campaign

In this unit of campaign we had to design a campaign for a charity shop to improve the quality of donations made to the charity shops in Wymondham. My group chose the red cross charity shop in Wymondham to start a campaign for. At the beginning of this unit we looked at Mary queen of charity shops which gave us some information on charity shops and what we can do to help the charity's. The target audience was for my campaign was everyone really it was aimed at younger people and older people because that way we could get a variety of things donated to the charity shop that way. The message we sent out to everyone was to donate your toys or clothes that you don't need anymore to the red cross charity. We weren't very successful because we got no donations but we think the main reason we didn't get any donations is because it was so near to christmas and people didn't have the time to have a clear out and donate some things, also some people would have already donated things before christmas. First we planned what we were gonna do in our campaign then we had to ring up the charity shop and arrange a time that we could meet them so that we could tell them what we were gonna do and asked them what else we could do to help the charity. In this campaign we produced posters, leaflets, TV Adverts, TIE performance, TIE workshop, video journals and letters/emails/phone calls. 
Our final presentation was the TIE(Theatre In Education) performance and workshop which went really well part from the performance wasn't to good because we had a few people missing and had to re-arrange the performance and add people in to play the missing peoples parts, but it turned out ok in the end even though we did get a bit messed up.

L0.4 Pictures from Browick Road School

The pictures below are from our performances and talks and Browick road infant school. Below the pictures there will be a short bit of writing saying what is going on in the picture. 

In this picture above we were playing games with the yr 2 children. This worked well because all the children joined in and everyone enjoyed the game.

This is when we had a group of four children each and we discussed what they had seen, what they learnt and what liked and disliked about today. This went quite well as well cause everyone joined in and gave answers to the questions we asked.

The picture shows everyone discussing what they have learnt and seen.......Most people joined in and answered any questions we asked them.

In this picture it shows us lot talking to the yr 2s at the end and we asked them questions like what have they learnt to do and what they have learnt not to do, we got some good answers back from the yr2s like we learnt to donate or we learnt not to throw things that are in good condition in the bin. Most children answered the questions.

                                

In the picture above it shows a couple of the children showing everyone a little play they had made up on how to share or how not to toys with others. The plays they had made were good and showed us clearly how to share and how not to share.

making my shoe lesson 3

Tuesday 7th December 2010 today i finished of the basic template of my shoe. I finished mod rocking my shoe so there was no gaps and i got the right shape i wanted, also i made a heel for the shoe i made it out of mod roc by rolling a layer of mod roc tightly then dipping it in water and finally molding it into a heel shape. I then attached the heel onto the bottom of the shoe using more mod roc. I think i am doing pretty well so far with the making of my shoe because i have mad most of the shoe. Next lesson i am getting my artifact book back which will have been marked by Miss Pinnington and have a list of all the things i have left to do in my book. Next lesson i will start to decorate my shoe and first i will paint my whole shoe black and then i am going to add some beads/gems onto the heel.

Dear the Red Cross Charity Shop,

                                                          On Tuesday the 30^th of November we all went to Browick Infant school to inform them about donating and get the point of donating across to everyone. Two groups performed a play about donating. My group and I performed a play showing the children why you should donate to the Red Cross charity and in our play we told them what the Red Cross charity does to help others and where to donate there old toys/clothes. We also told them that when they donate anything to the charity shop that it has to be in good condition and not broken because otherwise they will not be able to sell the toys or clothes and wont raise any money. We also informed them on where the money you raise goes and what it does. Unfortunately we haven’t had any donations from anyone but we are still advertising and telling people to donate. We think that we haven’t had any6 donations because it is so close to Christmas and people haven’t got the time to sort through all their clothes and toys. Hopefully we will get more donations after Christmas because people will be having clearouts to make room for their new toys and clothes ect.

Yours sincerely Holly Phillips
