The last day of Shakin Moo's leaflet production

At the start of the day we had a group meeting. In this meeting we discussed the plan of the day. I suggested that I would finish the front of the leaflet which we have been doing before. James said that he would like to write up our presentation which we will present next time when we meet Chris Lane. Also Michael said he wants to complete the back of the leaflet. We decided who does what and after the meeting we got on.

The first thing that I did when I started on the front of the leaflet was the colouring of the letters. The letters were pink, but as in James's idea the letters are pink and yellow inside I had to colour them. It took a long time because I had to click on a lot of letters by using the bucket tool. Here is the after picture after the letter colouring:

I really liked it but there was something missing. I asked my group members about their opinions and they also suggested that there is something missing. We asked Mr Hind for his opinion and he took our leaflet for a public opinion. He came back and said that the text on it is a bit boring and doesn't make the reader to read on and visit Shakin Moo's. Now we had to do some thinking to improve our leaflet. I suggested that the text should be in an angle; this would make it a lot better. James suggested that the Shakin Moo's logo should be bigger and also he suggested putting the word 'fresh' in. When we did that I came up with an idea to the make word 'fresh' funkier by having it wavy type. Here is the leaflet after:

I also added the yellow borders to make it more attractive and to connect with the pink and yellow font. When Michael was making the back of the leaflet he firstly copied the same background as the front of the leaflet which I helped him with. Also he got the border of the Shakin Moo's logo and used it for the map.

Here is a picture when he had added the map and the logo of free internet. He noticed this logo on the old Shakin Moo's logo which Chris's designer made.

I helped Michael with the text because the font type was installed on my computer, so we swapped the computers. I also found the arrow picture in Photoshop which we couldn't find at first.

Now me and Michael have finished our work so we helped James. I was very proud of our work this day and I think we have made a very professional leaflet. We also printed the final leaflet out so we can show it to Chris Lane.

Hi Matiss

Some really strong work here with good visual support. Try to be specific about your personal input to the group`s work.

9th day of Campaign Unit

Today we wanted to add the Shakin Moo's font to our final leaflet and fix the edges to improve it. Unfortunately we didn't add the Shakin Moo's font because we didn't have access to the control panel. To access the control panel we needed the IT person, but they never came to help. To not waste time we fixed the edges on the leaflet. It took a long while because you have to be very careful to not make any big mistakes. It is very good that you can undo everything, in case you make any mistakes. Here is an example of an edited part of our leaflet (before and after):

You can see that number 1 has white edges which don't look very good. Number 2 is fixed version which looks better. We took the editing in turns so that everyone gets a go. We used the smudge tool, and we changed the size of it because the corners were very hard to smudge with a big smudge circle. We also edited the big cup because it had very visible cloud lines. In this case we used the blur tool which I suggested. Here is a before and after picture:

On the picture 1, you can see dark lines which are very visible. After the editing on the picture 2 you can see that it improved a lot. I think it works better than before and is more effective. Our leaflet is currently looking like this:

I also changed the size of the small Mr Moo cup, so that there is more text space when we add the text. Fortunately the IT person came and added the Shakin Moo's font. We added the font and here it is:

It looks very good with the font now. Next lesson we will add a yellow colour to the font so it stands out more. The 'Try it now' text doesn't stand out, so that why we will add some more colour to it. I think that it looks better now and I really like it. It just needs some adjustments and it will probably be finished in the next lesson. I think that we have done a lot of work this lesson and I think we have worked very well.

Nice work Matiss, try to include more detailed next steps as you plan next week`s work.
