Week 7 

I created an initial set of posters. My first 2 posters used my textures I created manipulated into the shapes of my packaging pattern. In my last 3 posters I used the paper cut shapes I created. 

I asked for some advice from my peers on my posters. I got the overall feedback that they preferred the 3rd and 4th poster for the brighter colour ways. I also received the feedback that I could experiment more with the lighter green background as it worked better with the leaves colouring. I also asked about my leaves and came to the conclusion my first 2 posters leaves connected better with the packaging and look more consistent in shape.

It was also suggested to me that I could integrate gloves more into my poster design to make it more obvious what the product is.  

I will carry this feedback into my next poster development stage.

Week 6 

I gained some feedback by asking my peers what they thought of my patterns, and front net faces. I asked people in my life that belonged in the demographics for each of my glove products. I was given the helpful feedback on my food preparation gloves, that to them lemons and oranges didn’t portray food preparation and made them think of fancy water. 

With this feedback, I went back to my collage material and started to unpick items that we felt best portrayed the act of cooking and pulling together a meal. I selected a mixture of of fruit, vegetables, herbs and equipment. I developed these patterns above, and although the colour palette is more complex than my other glove products, I think it fits much better with the purpose of the gloves. I will develop my net front faces further with these new pattern options.

Studio Lighting - Feedback

The advice I took away from my peer feedback was:

I successfully captured each lighting technique and it was obvious which technique was used when looking at the final image

Do some post-production optimisation and crop some of the photos which have a lot of negative space

Always make sure the image is fully sharp before and after taking the photograph

Inspired by Art - Feedback

The main points I took from my peer feedback:

I composed the image well, referencing the inspiration image

I used the light well to help emulate the portrait

My final image is slightly warmer toned than the original portrait, so to fix this I could make some adjustments in post-production

Multi Level Marketing Schemes

Multi Level Marketing Schemes (MLMs) have become increasingly popular in recent years along side the use of social media platforms. They are a divisive subject; to some they offer opportunities to earn money in your spare time, to others they are unethical legalised pyramid schemes that prey on vulnerable people.

Interesting areas: Some people have never heard of pyramid schemes and so want to know more about them, some are interested in how technology has influenced this area of marketing and what would happen if there was no social media, are MLMs in fact just pyramid schemes? How pyramid schemes evolved in line with technology.

Author focus: How advertising affects people, the positive side of MLMs and how targeting advertising works, the legality of MLMs.

Reference materials: Surveys, peoples reactions to MLMs on social media, how advertising on social media is done, marketing foundations ‘Maslows Pyramid of Needs’.

Peer Feedback

I reviewed two of my classmates blogs, to help them further improve their wonderful work. I decided to review posts that I had also written about to better educate myself, and to better understand their research. The questioned that I reviewed was “Could I live without Digital and Communication Technology?” 

Isabelle Kane S00260905

Isabelle, first I would like to say how amazing and creative your blog looks. It is inviting and very on trend. I had a read of ‘could we live without tech?’, as I also wrote about this question. I really enjoyed that you spoke about the safety aspect of technology because we often forget this. Maybe you could briefly include the opposite effect, such as Cyberbullying. You could discuss the effects cyberbullying is having on students. You could include how Australia is initiating banning mobile phones from the classroom because of the ever growing issue of cyberbullying. (Butler, 2011). I hope this is constructive and helpful.

Stephanie Crandell

Stephanie, I absolutely loved the style of your blog. It was easy to follow and find everything I needed. I found it really interesting that you said you feel unsafe not having a phone in case of an emergency. Maybe you could dive into that a little more. A study researched the implications of homeless young people not having mobile phones and the danger that is involved when this communication is taken from them. (Woelfer, 2011). This could further support your argument that if we did not have our mobile phones on us we would in fact be unsafe.

Peer Feedback

Some of my peers (in and out of my tutorial) have had interesting posts up from their blogs, and I’ve really felt enlightened reading through them. Here are a few snippets of the feedback I’ve given them.

I also received feedback from my peers for my post on ‘How to Steal a Penguin”
