Wednesday, August 12, 2015 - [Role Poster ]
Yesterday I had a poster presentation for my capstone module, Ad Campaigns. I really like this module and Digital Portfolio last semester because they finally make sense to me and it feels like I'm actually doing something. The past 3 years have just been studying and memorizing. BAH.
So this module, is a 10-man group project, where we receive a client and solve their business problem. Just fyi, our client is Hotel Jen, previously known as Traders, and they're undergoing a whole re-branding process. Each group has a pair of 5 roles: Account Manager, Account Planner, Media, Creative and Digital Producer.
Here's mine c: I chose to call myself a media planner, because it wasn't specified whether i was a buyer or a strategist. I got many compliments for the poster but a lot of credit goes to Irene who compiled my 3slides into a poster and also designed that avatar ! ~
Enough about me, let's look at some cool posters! :D I liked this one, she's my group mate, go Tess! ~ This was what my poster sorta looked like in my head, but I thought it was too wordy. Actually this whole assignment wasn't even defined very well, the marking criteria was so vague and I didn't know how much research to put, how large a percentage does creativity contribute and and and and ... ugh. It's a business degree, don't make me design stuff !
This was a hugeeeeeee 3-board poster like the London tube map ~
This one's also one my group mates, I liked the use of various social media profile templates :3 ! and all that handwriting, A for effort!
I love 9gag, I love memes so naturally this one caught my eye~
The next few are all done by the Digital Producers, which was my second choice role, I really had a hard time choosing between the two D: and in my opinion these guys had the best posters!
This guy went the extra mile, just look at them details:
- Shayne Armstrong likes this poster [that's his supervisor]
- Gayle Kerr likes this poster [unit coordinator]
- the trending stories
- the sponsored ad is our client [Hotel Jen]
- the upcoming events is our presentation time
- his facebook groups
- distracting group chat
This guy showcased his digital web-designing and publishing skills by creating a whole website behind that QR code, is that even fair? Anyhoo I am aware he scored a High Distinction :3 Much creative, wow, very technology.
and now, my absolute fav, the mac interface poster
It's just brilliant, the folders indicating his tasks,
the emails as a timeline,
the random folders on the desktop - Cats, Stolen Ideas, Conspiracy Theories .
Gr8 m8, I r8 8/8 ! ~

Herrow. It' been raining all dayyyyyy. How gloomy dark and depressing. Pretty glad I didn't have to go out today :o Spent the day at home, well I did get up at 1.30pm XD so .. afternoon was spent completing Media Planning assignment.
Wow this was one of the stupidest assignments ever because the lecturer said the trick to this assignment is that there is alot of information available, so choose wisely. OH BS, there was hardly anything information on Fright Nights and also the databases they provided were only sufficient to make 2-3 graphs, meanwhile ask for 30 slides of analysis on consumer, product and market and create a marketing campaign for Movieworld when even the Fright Night website is down. Jeez. Anyway I'm pretty sure I haven't spent this much effort and gotten frustrated over an assignment like this not because it's a hard assignment but I just couldn't find the info needed. Google not good enough D:
Accidentally stumbled across something I didn't need to know the day before and it was nagging at me. It's really no big deal I guess, but being me ._. I have to think about it and analyze every detail 20 000 times. Sadly my friends were unable to offer much help or advice or comfort probably. Then suddenly I realized there is one more person to talk to ! And I did find some closure, definitely feel much better and calmer ahah :3 ty keeeeeez. We can actually have proper conversations when its just the two of us XD
*inserts non-existent pictures of kas and me*
): need to fix that.
Was gonna do the film schedule assignment but I can't because I don't have the script breakdown template because I did not forsee my Macbook crashing on me and costing $1300 to repair (yes apple called me today ._____.) so .. my assignment stuff has disappeared and I have to wait for my sweet lecturer-tutor to respond. Boy she's so cute, she sent a warning email today that because of the persistent rain for almost 3 days the creek outside her house is rising and might possibly flood overnight so lecture might be cancelled tomorrow. :o
Want to see the Iron Throne exhibit tomorrow ): please don't rain anymore. Also got a notification from QUT Clinics today that they've created an app, for students like me who visit the doctor almost once a month, to book appointments instead of calling and holding. Hurray !! I can pick which Doctor I want via the app too ~ Score ! Idk how this app works though, for me once I signed-up for it, the QUT clinics I've visited appear, IT KNOWS WHERE I STUDY! Not sure how it works for the public ohwell maybe its a gigantic database and connects every clinic evaaaaaaaaa.
I guess it's a sign I should rest the rest of the night, at least I managed to do the physical script breakdown !
For anyone interested, there is a colour system to doing the breakdown:
Red - Speaking Cast
Orange - Stunts
Yellow - Silent actions
Green - Extras
Lime - Props
Purple - Sets or Art Department
Brown - Sound Effects
Circles: Wardrobe
* : Make-Up
The list is alot more comprehensive and longer but that's a basic idea :3 For example, Aqua is used for extra music instead of brown, but does not mean the soundtrack. It's more like if you see a busker along the streets and he sings a song or strums the guitar that's code Aqua, but slamming doors or a car driving by will be code Brown.
So intredasting :3
Maybe I should start on the 3rd assignment also due next week . . .
NNAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I think I'm going to get a giant mug of tea and watch Titanic, because I'm slow like a sloth and I lag behind the world.
