Lesson 1: Monday 26th November 2012
This is the first blog of my campaign to record my progress throughout my campaign. In each blog post I will be recording my progress based on the actions that I have carried out and the work that I aim to do the following week in order to carry on progressively with this campaign.
So to begin with. Today I have completed 2 flat plan drafts of a logo for my campaign. I have analysed these logo's giving comments on why I have drawn the images and why I will be using the certain colour scheme and how they help convey the aim, message, and target audience for my campaign. It also helps the audience know what aspect of online safety I will be campaigning about; cyberbullying. These mock up drafts of my logo eventually helped me ro decide on what I was going to stick with. Using feedback from my powerpoint pitch and my questionaire I decided to use the name screen savers and I created a final logo which I loaded and finished on Photoshop.
This final logo is the logo that I will produce on any other aspects of my work. When I make a poster or my website I will use this logo to help represent and convey the aim, message and target auidence of my cyberbullying campaign.
My aim for next lesson is to try and complete 2 draft pla posters for my campaign and using feedback from my pitch and questionaire and my own initila ideas, produce one final poster on photoshop which will be the poster to convey the aim and message of my campaign. This is the first amount of progress I have made towards the production side of my campaign.
Wednesday 28th November 2012 Campaign update:
Today I managed to design one draft plan out of the two that I need to do for my campaign poster. I included the conventions needed to make a successful poster such as the action line, logo, slogan, main picture and text title. By including these as well as the images used and the color scheme it should help highlight the aim and target audience for my campaign.
Furthermore I analysed this poster to identify the aim and target audience as well as the conventions needed for the poster, this will help me and my audience understand why the conventions on my poster are needed to support my campaign.
My plan for next lesson is to try and complete the other poster and analyse it as well as deciding on a final idea and producing this final poster idea in Photoshop. I will add copies of my draft plan posters as well as the final poster to my coursework folder.
Lesson 3 campaign post: Monday 3rd December 2012

Now I have 2 posters that have been analysed and completed. Furthermore I have decided on the idea for my final poster an will hope to do this next lesson.
I hope to have finished my final photo shopped poster for my campaign then I would have completed nearly all of the production tasks. Next lesson I will design the photo shopped poster and add it with my draft plan posters to my coursework folder. I also hope to achieve my reflection post blog which will be uploaded onto blogger once I have finished all of my other tasks. Once that is done I can move on to other tasks and continue to update my progress of my campaign onto blogger.

For next lesson I am hoping to finish the production side of my campaign by writing my final reflection post then I can make further progress and continue with y campaign further.
