Suzie Pugh - design a brand

As a task to be completed over the Easter Holidays, Suzie wanted us to meet as a group to design a brand and advertising poster. Lucy, Sophie and I met up and thought of food as a theme. We then came up with a "fruit and veg store" (grocery) as there's one in every town. This will attract all types of customers and it is open everyday. We decided on the name "FRESH". Each of us took pictures of fruit and vegtables in our kitchens. I'm lucky enough to work in a restaurent so got some awsome images. As I have Photoshop we then came over my house to create the poster. We decided on a green theme as its neutral, then went on to edit the pictures. We thought of slogans such as "let's eat smart" and "best of British" to draw attention. The poster also had the website and address on, which we made up. This is how the poster looked: (sorry poor quality)

Suzie Pugh - sense of place

In this session we got given our assignment title - "sense of place". This confused alot of us as we did not know exactly what the phrase meant. After examples and explanations were given to us by Suzie, most of us had a rough idea what we were going to focus on. I thought of fashion and art, I hopefully will combine both to make a portfolio and final peice. To understand in more detail Suzie gave us a huge sheet of paper, magazines and newspapers. In partners we had to cut out pictures that meant something to us and present it on the board like a collage. Lucy and I's collage consisted of pictures of holidays (beaches), cupcakes (making cakes with Gran) and the Welsh flag.

Suzie Pugh - objects of significance

In this seminar we had to bring in objects that showed specific significance in our lives. We had to bring in 3-5 objects, then get into groups of 3 and explain what they meant to us. After discussing we then had to pick 1 object and explain again in detail to the whole class. I picked my cars keys as I had my car for my 17th birthday. I received it off my parents and it was the best gift anyone could have ever given me! It has made me feel independant and more of an adult. Other people's included photographs, charm brakelets and a lot more crazy things. The stories behind the objects were very interesting and touching.
