Rebecca Thorp - My Placement Year

Monday 21st August 2017 Tasks that I did today: My task for today was to create an event flyer to invite the staff that worked at Huddersfood to come and celebrate the team winning an award at the competition known as the TUCO Awards. This is a proud achievement for the Huddersfood staff as they put lots of hard work into the University to make the Catering Services great and a good experience for students whilst attending the University to study.  However, before I started to create the design I had to look at inspiration. Where I used sites like Pinterest and Google Images, this was so I was able to look and work out how I wanted to present the celebration on the flyer design to the staff.  Once I had looked at some inspiration for the event flyer to showcase the celebration to the staff for winning their award. I started to roughly think about how I would like the design to be laid out and presented, I needed to make sure that the design was presentable so tha...

Monday 14th August 2017 Tasks I did today: Today I spent the day editing the photographs that I had taken from the Wedding on Saturday of the Function, the Setup, the Drinks Reception and of the Bride and Groom. When editing my photographs, I had to choose the best photographs that I had taken to enable me to show the most professional and well produced photographs of the wedding function.  The photographs that I had taken of the wedding were going to be used to promote the Huddersfood Team's brand in a very different way to the outlets in which they have around the University Campus. This is because it will show the fantastic event in which the Huddersfood Team brand held and hosted at the university, not only that they will be used to promote the Huddersfood Team brand and by showing to people what they produce at various events and functions.  The programme in which I used to edit the photographs of the function was Adobe Lightroom, I thought that this wou...

Monday 7th August 2017 Tasks I did today: Today I looked at the Burrito Challenge even further and ways in which I would be able to promote the event and advertise this to the students and staff at the University, so that they would be interested in taking part in the challenge at the Burrito Cantina bar on level 5 of Student Central at the University. I decided to look at different design methods, materials, medias and styles like postcards, flyers, posters and animations. I thought that Posters and Animations would be a great idea to promote the event because I think that a Poster design will be eye-catching and display the information in a still manner that students will be able to see and read easily. However, an animation will draw more people into the event, as it is a visual moving design that will attract people more than a static design and be more attractive and presentable on the TV Screens in the  Student Central, Level 4  area and on our Social Media Pag...
