Today was all about sorting our folders out. I had so much to print of, from last week all the pictures and all the different documents and write ups. Today we had to carry on working on our folders and improve anything we already had in them. I already knew i had to improve my blog, as i hadn't been paying as much attention to it as i should. I knew that today, i would have to be organised. Sir wrote a list of everything that had to be done by now, and i had done most of it i just needed to complete and improve it all.
First thing i did was put my folder in chronological order. This was so it showed the journey that me and the group went through to get to the stage we have. I started going through my folder and see what else i had to do. I decided it would be a good idea to write up our team meeting, because it didn't really explain it. it was all just notes. It was weird reading back even thought it wasn't that long ago, it was just weird seeing where our ideas started out and where we are now :P
I was looking through my folder and thought that it didn't really have a lot of explaining in it :/ it didn't really show a journey. So then i decided to write up the surveys that we did, and hopefully that would help. The surveys had basically said that their favourite was number three ( the milkshake shaped one, which was my idea :D) but that they thought that that was the most complicated as well.
This week we ended up choosing our final idea. We chose number 3, as it was our favourite and the public favourite. They also said that they liked the colours all together as it was the most shakinMooy. We were confused between number 1 and number 3. Number one we knew would be so much easier to make and to give out, but then we come up with a reason why not to use it. If you open number 3 it is basicalyy number 1. All the same information and basically the same layout, but people liked number 3 better. And i am so happy that they liked the same as did. It feels like we did a good job, we designed them well :)
This week it was my responsibility to get all our folders sorted, like i had to write the survery write ups, the neam meeting and then i had to organise how to get the photographs printed. but i didnt mind, i was ahead of tia and i liked doing it anyway. She helped me when i needed it and now everything is explained.
It annoyed me when the computers werent working properly. As we rely on them to do most of our work it was fraustrating when they ran slow or just wouldnt work! It was also annoying when you had completed your work that you had to wait for everyone to be done with you USB. People would just take it and you wouldnt know hwere it had gone.

18.3.10 :)
This week we had to mkae a shotlist. We had planned to go to ShakinMoo's in the afternoon and we had to know what we wanted to shot as this is what we would be using for aour final product.
We wanted a picture of the camouflage pattern as we wanted a good idea of it to use it our final product. It was my idea to take a photo of one of the splodges dotted arounnd the shop, this is because one of our ideas was in the shape of a splodge. We wanted a picture of Mr Moo as it represented the shop itself! we needed a picture of the logo as we knew we would definatly be using it. The list carried on and we had to think of ways we wanted to shot them. i thought of using reflections and close ups to give a range of different shops.
we then walked to the shop after break and started taking pictures, you were allowed to buy a shake if you wanted but you had to concentrate. i was working in my group, tia kara and me. we didnt reallyy follow our shotlist to be honest, but it turned out fine anyway. We didnt really follow it as we saw different shots everywhere. we did refer to the list at times to see if we had forgotten anything but it turned out good :)
Mr moo...... and then i edited it as i thought the background distracted from the main point of the picture. i also cropped the picture as there was too much empty space. i know we will use this in our final project as it a good image and we have planned to use Mr Moo on it anyway.
and again...
and edited again ...i had to rotate the picture and again crop it. if i had more time to edit the photos, i would of again deleted the background. Again as it is Mr Moo this image could also be used, it depends where we chose to use Mr Moo in out design.
Tia took this shot, i think it works very well. it is different and is a good example of lines and foreground. its very different compared to what everyone else took, but it shows the relaxed chilled mood chris is trying to create in the shop
i thought it would be best to edit this aswell as i wanted to experiment. Plus i didnt want to leg spoiling the shot. I used a pattern on top of the picture and it looks like the camouflage of ShakinMoo's as well as the picture.
I wanted the picture to look effective, so i took the picture at an angle. > this one on the right >>> is my favourite. this is because of the foreground in the picture, it looks endless. like ShakinMoo choices are endless. if i had time to edit it i would of perfected it got rid of everything other than the others. Then i think it will look good, and we could possibly use it on the board under the work top or as a background for a flyer!

i knew we had to get a picture of the menus in our collection somewhere. so i to took a picture myself.

Next week we need to chose our final design, at the moment i have no idea because we have all worked so hard on designing them. I designed the milkshake shape one, which tends to be peoples favourite, but we all contributed to the others. Me and tia worked hard on creating them :)

4.03.10
WOW! i was away half of last week because i felt reallyy ill, so ive had to catch up this week. WE started. Kara and tia, the poeple im working with, had already chosen 3 final designs. But this week because kara was away it was down to me and tia. I agreed on the three tey had picked but we decided to combine two ideas because we couldnt decide between them.
PICTURE.
we then had to come up with FOUR FINAL designs that we were going to present for the public to chose from. I decided to use colour paper as its not as boring as just plain white. So now instead of having 3 ideas, we have 4. i didnt find it to hard coming up with up with the final ideas, because 1. we all had the same idea, and 2. we already had a rough idea already as we had already discussed them when experimenting.
PICTURE OF EXPERIMENTS.
We knew which ones were our favourite, so to come up with our final ones wasnt that hard. Some we didnt reallyy change because we liked them as they were. like this one shaped like a shakin moo cup.
PICTURE OF OUTSIDE AND INSIDE.
But because all oll of us needed a copy we needed to to make more than one. infact we needed to make 4. one for each of us and then the best one being the final one. It didnt take to long to make as i made four of one, tia made 4 of the other and so on.
I wrote what was written inside each of the leaflets things it read ' for those wintery days... try shakin'Moo's hot shakes. just like a normal shake BUT HOT! come down to burleigh street and try it now!"
i think that this is a good thing to be written in it because it tells you where it is and where to go. It tells you why you should go there and what for.
We finished our idea early so i had time to catch up. Last week everyone else had started background research, so i started it. It was all background information on milkshake and companies surrounding that industry. i found 4 different companies like shakin'Moo's but also researched milkshakes like Yazoo and Nesquik. Because they are still milkshakes, just very different.
After lunch we had to create a questionaire to ask different people about our final designs. Which one was their favourite, what shape they liked, if they were to complacted, AND about the style of writing.
