3rd October

Today I began to think of more advantages of purchasing a vinyl. Which helped me think of tag lines I could use in my poster. I also gained some information about a campaign  called 'stop the war on vinyl'. This is a campaign for all the vinyl lovers out there who would rather use a vinyl than a CD or MP3.

After the critique  I started to think of more ideas using the feedback that I received. I created a few rough images by taking some photographs of my vinyl in different positions to use in my poster.

Things to take into consideration 

• Sound quality of vinyl is better than an mp3/cd

Visual Communiction in context 2

2nd october 2008

Firstly received the brief and gathered a basic understanding of what we have been asked to produce by briefly talking to neil about the first part of the brief "Look again/Think again". 

I then went off with a few members of the class to create some initial ideas of what we could use to create our poster. I found this a good way of brainstorming ideas as we could bounce ideas of one another and ask each other for there opinions on our thoughts. As I was thinking of ideas of what to use to create my poster I decided to choose something personal to me as I thought that this would help motivate me and help me produce a stronger outcome. As I was going through my personal objects I came across my vinyl, this object means the most to me and I think that I could produce a strong outcome from using this personal object. So I decided that I would use my vinyl to create a campaign which would persuade the public to purchase a vinyl instead of an mp3/cd.

Intoduction

As a part of my second year of studying Visual Communications at the Arts institute at Bournemouth, I have been required to keep a record of what I have been doing during the study of this course. The title given for this project is PPRD (personal planning, reflection and development). I feel that this will help me progress throughout the second year as I will be organized and also be able to reflect on my own work on a day to day bases. The second year means a fresh start to me and I am looking forward to the projects that I will be receiving and hope to push myself to the best of my ability.
