Promotional car brochure stand for a car company.
Specification I have to design a temporary promotional car brochure stand for a car company. There are many important features that need to be included in the design. > Needs to attract the attention of potential customers because otherwise they might go to a rival and purchase off them. I will do this by using vibrant colours that stand out like black & yellow, or black & sliver; this can make the stand look expensive. > The stand will also have to with stand testing of dropping brochures into the stand and any other ware 'an' tare that might occur. This is because people may put back brochures and they don't care if they drop them in so it has to with stand the tests. The brochure stand that I will produce will be sturdy and not cheap, otherwise it won't attract customers. > The brochure stand is an important feature to the car market as it can help sell the brochures so that there are more potential customers. Therefore the design must be aesthetically pleasing. > I will use the information I get from my questionnaires to develop my ideas to create the best idea for my final design. > Must be made of suitable material because there would be no point making it out of Titanium when it would look as good and cost less with aluminium that can also be recycled. > Should be a seasonable size because if its too tall people wouldn't be able to reach it and too small and
Explain how research material was gathered and used within the drama process
Name: Michael Sims Candidate Number: 8178 Centre Number: 56515 Explain how research material was gathered and used within the drama process When we first began discussing the possible content of our play we were provided with stimulus materials to help us develop our ideas. This included newspaper articles, pictures and extracts from several poems. This selection allowed us to work with a number of influences that we otherwise would not have had. As we further developed our ideas we no longer needed this original stimuli as our concepts had progressed, however, after working with this literature, we were aware of what kinds of research would be useful in developing the play. And so, these stimuli not only helped us to develop our content, they also showed us how we should be conducting our research. Throughout the process, both stimulus and research materials were worked with in the same way; on finding a useful piece of literature or music, we presented it to the group, discussed it, and then either intergraded it into the play, or deciding that it was not useful, it was discarded. This method kept an open dialogue within the group allowing opinions to be constructively voiced, and so, even if the actual material was not used, new ideas were always being developed. When we began to write the play the majority of our ideas had been developed from original war based

The logo for the British Heart Foundation uses only two colours, black and red. The red highlights the word 'Heart' and is used for the very clever graphic depicting what looks very much like the lines on an E.E.G running in the shape of a heart. The choice of the colour red is obviously because of blood. This stands out from the rest of the logo as it is the very core of what the charity is about. The choice of black for the remaining two words surrounding the red heart and the use of strong bold lettering emphasises the seriousness of the work that the British Heart Foundation does at the same time as drawing attention to how grave the consequences of heart disease can be. The logo advertising MECCA Bingo immiediatley looks like fun. This has been achieved by the use of different bold colours for the capital letters and the smaller wavy lettering used in the word Bingo. The blocks around the capital letters remind you of the tiles used in some bingo games or the squares on the bingo card. The use of stars and the circle orbiting the word depicts great heights and the possibility of a big win! The white cloud behind the word bingo makes it look lighter and so makes bingo look like fun. The logo used for the NSPCC is very clear on a white background and to the point. By using large clear capital letters it shows that this is a very serious matter and they have very cleverly
To design a bread product suitable for a religion or culture of my choice
DESIGN SHEET 1 Task - To design a bread product suitable for a religion or culture of my choice Naan Bread - There are principally two types of Indian breads which share the same characteristics in that they are flat oval and round. In Punjab and Kashmir in the north-west and in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh there are the naan-style breads. Naan bread is a leavened bread which varies from region to region and most probably from home to home according to the cooks preferred method. Yeast or sourdough method can be used; others prefer using a chemical raising agent, such as bicarbonate of soda or self raising flour. Yoghurt, however is ingredient that differentiates naans from its many Middle Eastern counterparts. It plays a part in fermenting the dough using a yoghurt fermentation. It is this fermentation that gives the bread its characteristics light and puffy texture and soft crust. The flavour comes partly from the soured yoghurt and partly from the soured yoghurt, without doubt, from the tandoor, in which breads are traditionally cooked. A tandoor is a clay oven sunk into the ground and flattened dough is baked against the blisteringly hot walls of the oven. The pull of gravity produces a teardrop shape. As the dough bakes, it scorches and puffs up to give a bread that is both crisp and soft in parts. Key points in making a successful bread - * Yeast is a
They need a plant information leaflet.
Problem 1: They need a plant information leaflet. Form of output: a leaflet the customer can take home. Information to be output: * A picture of the plant * The plant name, * Instructions for growing, * The garden centre's name, * Address, phone number and logo. * Also there must be information about the opening hours, range of products and at least one garden photo. The data needed to produce the output * A disk that is provided by Jo provides the information such as the pictures of the plants, name of the plants, instructions for growing, range of products, and facts about the agave americana. The logo * A business card provides the garden centre's name, address and number, opening hour times Desired outcome and criteria * Leaflet must be in colour and well laid out * Latin plant names must be in italics * Making sure that the picture is the right one * Make sure that the picture is under the same name of plant * The heading will be 'how to care for your century plant' * The heading must be big * File name must be in plants common name * Logo must be on leaflet * Details of what they sell must be on leaflet * Opening times must be on leaflet * Leaflet is A4 size with information on both sides * All the details of the agave americana must be on one side of the leaflet and its photo * Garden centre photos must be on the leaflet Testing * Is
Project Evaluation: Comparing my Outputs to the Specification
Comparing my Outputs to the Specification The logo My solution to the task allows the users of the system to print off a ready designed promotion package and customise each part of it to include their name and the address of their particular branch of Daisy Chain. The users can alter the logo slightly and can also create a completely new logo from the user guide. They can edit details quickly, for example if a shop moves or a designer is employed, then these details can be added to the business card or letterheaded paper. The system can only use fonts and borders that exist on the software- they can't create original ones. I have managed to produce a suitable logo that meets all the points on the specification. It has been significantly changed since I drew the initial design and I now feel that it is now much better than the original version. Everyone I have asked about it has confirmed this. There are however some points that you can't really say whether the logo has met- you can't tell whether the logo will date or not. If it does then following the user guides could produce a new one. To produce most of the items in the promotional package I used Adobe, which isn't strictly a graphics program, but it has sufficient features to meet all the needs of this project. The Business Card I have produced a business card that meets all the requirements set out in my design
History of Shoes.
HISTORY OF SHOES There is much evidence to suggest that shoes, or various foot coverings were one of the very first things that our ancient ancestors invented. They were forced, by necessity to invent some sort of foot covering to protect their feet from jagged rocks, burning sands and rugged ground over which they lived and predated for food and shelter. The history of human development shows the importance of protecting the foot was recognised in the early stages of civilisation. Records of the Egyptians, the Chinese and other early civilisations all contain references to shoes. In the Bible, the shoe is mentioned on a number of occasions and the Hebrews also used it on several instances with legal significance, especially in binding a bargain. From various different types of shoes, you can tell the myths and legends of different races. The shoe, even up until now, continues to tell those myths and legends which have come down on us. Stories like Mercury's Winged Sandals, Puss in Boots, Cinderella, and others all existed in some ancient and forgotten tongue, but are still well known to children. The shoe has also been known to bring luck when thrown after the newly wedded couple. In its very first form, the shoe was just a simple piece of plaited grass or rawhide, which was strapped to the feet. Among the relics of the early Egyptians are some sandals made
I will look at six existing products which are already available and evaluate how the consumer is informed about what ingredients it contains, I will also evaluate the accuracy of the information about how to store, reheat and serve the product.
I will look at six existing products which are already available and evaluate how the consumer is informed about what ingredients it contains, I will also evaluate the accuracy of the information about how to store, reheat and serve the product. I will assess how well the packaging meets the need for cost, appeal, ease of preparation, nutrients, packaging, labelling and existing packaging. The key points I will consider is: * The target the group it is aimed at. * Evidence from research on what people want * Design Brief and the need- what is needed by target group * Legal requirements regarding packaging and labelling. I will be looking at what the expectations are of the product, the way in which the product is manufactured and promoted to the consumer and whether it is topical. Beef Curry with Rice This is an example of an existing foreign product which is available at a supermarket called Iceland. . The weight is 400g. 2. It has a best before date. 3. There is a guarantee of satisfaction that the product is not made with genetically modified ingredients. 4. Ingredients- the main ingredients are beef, rice, tomato, onion and creamed coconut. 5. Nutritional information 6. Preparation and how to cook 7. Name and address of manufacturer 8.
