Final day :/

WELL! today has been very stressful. As soon as we got in we were stressing! we couldnt find the lap top that we were working on last week with our final design on it. Bout 20 minutes later the genius had found it and our lives were basically saved. There wasnt much to chnage as we had basicallyy finished it last week. So instead me and tia worked on the presentation which would be shown to chris.

we explained our ideas and how we got to them, and why we chose them. when that came to an end, i had work to do on my folder. i needed to organize the whole thing create title pages. I cant stand having a boring foler so i needed to put colour and making it STAND for shakin'moo's. but i am going to work more on that at home as it is easier.

Then, we then had to get ready to pitch our idea to chris. We knew we were pitching our idea today, we just had no idea what time. I wish we were more organized, as we still needed to write our speech and it was nearing lunch! This is when i started to get nervous, im sure everyone else was aswell but i hadnt felt it until now :/ So we started on our speech right away, but THEN we couldnt get hold of our presentation on the laptops we were on because of the format. so we then had to ask sir to change the format and eventuallyy we did get it. it just made the job twice as harder as it needed to be which wasnt to useful. me and tia were working as fast as we could as we were running out of time, now looking back i wish we had done it previous and worked on our presentation in that short time we had.because of the lack of time left, we didnt have time to write a proper script. a short time after chris had arrived and it was our turn. when it came down to our turn, my laptop decided to freeze, so we had no script to follow! we had to imporivse our whole presentation which made everything ten times worse! We didnt have enough time to print our final project so we had nothing to show for our work except a presentation. The final peice was on the same memory stick but it wasnt shown to chris at the time of our presentation. The presentation went better than i thought, but still not as good as we al knew it couldve been! i was so disappointed how everything turned out today. WE roughly had in our head what we were going to say but it just made it harder not having a script.The time came to get feedback, and understandbally it wasnt good. He said without a product there was no point in being there. Which as much i dont like to admit it, it is true. We had worked so hard and our product to not even get seen was a disappointment! When the feedback had finsihed we asked mark if we could show him our product, although it was printed, it was still finsihed on the computer. We got the front back and middle up on the screen and showed him. i think he was disappointed in our presentation earlier and our lack of organization, so he said okay that good thankyou. i didnt realise just how organized you have to be! I have enjoyed this unit but looking back there could obviously be improvements. i would make sure, that EVERYTHING is organized. i thought we were being fairly organuized but the presentation made me realise that you have to be on top of everything. This has also taught me that if everything goes wrong, you still have to et on with it, you still have to try and whatever the outcome try your best. This unit has now finished as this was our last week, but now i am going to take my folder home and make the rest of title pagesa and make sure everythingin annotated and explained well.

Looking forward to the next unit.... :)

This unit, i have been fnding it hard to keep up to date with my blog. i dont know why but i need to sort it out. My foloder and everything is up to date just my blog isnt.
Well the week before this, i was away, which putour group behind. But fortuntatly we worked hard this week and we caught up! This week we had to catch up with everybody else.
Everyone had edited most of their images, we had toyed with some of ours, and in the end it didnt turn out that bad. It was my job to edit the pictures but i asked tia for her opinions aswell to get the graphic the best we could :)

Kara and Tia's job was to create the actual product on photoshop and be ready for it to be printed as tho it was he real thing. They had some difficultty and none of us were fully knew what we were doing on photoshop! although we had used it before it was still a challenge to get exactly what yo wanted doing DONE! the amount of pressure to get the final product finished didnt help ither, the fact that we were behind and needed to catch up.
Chipping in with Tia and kara from time to time, my mai job was to create TWO presentations. one explaining our idea to chris, why we chose cetaint things to make our idea clear to him :) i needed to create the presentation as we are presenting our presentation to chris NEXTWEEK! and the other presentation to be played inside the shop on the big tele. it was my idea to use it as a wall of fame, just llike they have a wall in there to have it on the screen swell. it would be easier to upload te differentet pictues to it aswell :)

i am quite nervous about pitching our final idea to him. This unit had gone so quick'! im not sure if im prepared for this oresentation, but weve talke about what we are going to say and how we are goin to present it i just need to get it over and done with :)
I have enjoyed working with tia, we are reallyy good friends and we get the work done :) Althought kara hasnt been here an awful lot which has made things alot more difficult, the same with her :) i am proud of what we have created and hope chris likes it! Just the presentation and the finishing touches to our folders and im done :)x
