peer review

you have described the shoe and the story behind the shoe very well and have recognized the target audience in much detail but you need to say why they would be attracted to the shoe and how. The anyalise shows that you sort of understand the learning objective but more information is needed. you have also realized the key visual elements of each photo and what they represent.

This is a good shoe advert. In the photo the soldiers are using the shoes as a bunker to protect them from enemy fire.This  shows that the shoes are very strong and can withstand anything, even machine guns.I think the product is aimed at long distant runners\off road runners who run on all different terrains, i think this because long distance runners need strong shoes to withstand the demands of the environment.

I also think this is a good advert.The background links well to the funky , hip shoe because of the grey street like background.I believe this high top shoe is designed for young teenagers, the bright collage of colors suggests this.Im going to use the idea of bright colors in my own shoe design.

This to is a good advert.In this photo the trainers,water bottles and two drinking tubes represent the respirstory system.The target audience is clearly aimed at someone who is very fit and healthy who enjoys running.I  like how the accessories are put together to make the respiratory system, it's original and unique.

Photoshop vs illustrator
In the media industry there are many different types of computer programmes to use, the main two are Photoshop and illustrator. Photoshop is a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe System.Illustrator is a vector graphics editor developed and marketed by Adobe Systems.Photoshop is mainly used by photographers and Magazine editors.They use photoshop because it is high quality computer programme that allows you to change graphics , edit photos , create collages and many more impressive uses.logo designers and game designers use illustrator because it is also a very high quality computer programme that allows you to create unique and original 2D designs.photoshop use pixels because pixels are easy to manipulate. Illustrator uses vectors because they are flat and easy to edit.
Computer programmes are not my forte and this is why I struggled grasping the detailed techniques of Photoshop and illustrator therefore not allowing me to progress any further than the basic techniques.I did not enjoy any of the tools on illustrator or photoshop because I found some to confusing and pointless to use. 

 First i found this image of the teletubbies baby sun face on the internet,then i uploaded it on to photoshop.After that found a picture of gollum (from Lord Of The Rings) and and also uploaded it to photoshop.









Then i put the two photos on different layers by using mask layer.After that i got the brush tool and i set the opacity to 50 and carefully i started to brush the evil face of gollum onto the teletubbies baby sun face.Once i brushed in the evil gollum face i replaced the back ground with the original baby face back ground by using the mask layer.




This is the final article of my gollum masterpiece.

Coca cola vs Pepsi !
COCA COLA ...
Coca cola is a well established company and has been on the market for over a century ,127 years to be exact .Ever since coca cola was introduced all the way back in 1886 it has been a massive success on the drinking industry setting the bar high for all other companies to follow.I think coca cola is known world wide for its wonderful.Coca cola are very clever for using Santa their adverts because Santa hits target market of kids like no other product.Once Santa starts drinking from that cola bottle millions of kids world wide will also want to drink cola.
PEPSI ...
Pepsi having only been founded in 1965 have created a big name for themselves, being right up there with coca cola.Personally I think Pepsi tastes better and advertises better . I really like the use of professional footballers such as David Beckham, Ronaldinho , and Roberto Carlos.Using footballers in their adverts makes it full of skill , flare and humour.This is why I believe Pepsi is better brand than coca
cola. 

Peer Assessment 17/10/2013

1.This poster is very well designed,i like the pepsi logo lachlan has created because it is very unique.The funky curves are very cool and the bright colours are very appealing and stand out.I think lachlan has been very successful using illustrator because his poster s very well crafted and he has used some good techniques.

2.I think lachlan has used illustrator in a creative way because his design is very unusual.This dynamic design clearly shows lachlan can use illustrator to a high standard.

3.If i were to improve this master piece i would change it ever so slightly by making the whole logo curved, i think this would take it up a notch.

Manchester United Research

 1902-1903 This is the first kit Manchester United ever worn all the way back in 1902. You can tell it’s old because there is no emblem or sponsor on the shirt. The design of the kit is very simple. 

1970-1971 - From 1902  to 1970 the kit has not really changed. The buttons have been lost and a collar formed. The shirt cuffs have changed from red to white and shorts have become smaller.   

1980-1981- The 80’s brought brand new designs puffy white collars, stripy shirts and shorts, sponsors and even the Manchester United emblem. This started a whole new era for kits.    
















1990-1991 -In 1990 the kit only changed slightly. The collar was lost, there were two sponsors instead of one (sharp and adidas). The emblem was removed from the shorts and more colours were added. 

2000-2002 - A few more changes were added to the kit in 2000. Two new sponsors vodafone, umbro, the emblem was put back on the kit shorts and all the stripes were removed. 

2010-2011 - The kit for 2012 is fresh and new. Two new sponsors Aon, Nikes shorts, sleves and a small collar. The kit changes every season to produce lots of money.

L/O develop an understanding of intergovernmental media,online blogs and explore visual branding.

 I think vans is a good skate logo because its a modern , fresh logo.Its aimed at skateboarders and teenagers. The vans logo attracts lots of teenagers because of the skateboard it uses, the skateboard attracts teens because skateboarding is "cool" so if you're buying vans that means you're wearing cool clothes.The skateboard rakes in lots of buyers.The colour choice of red is also a good idea, it makes it stand out from
Other plain brands.I think they could use 
Little more colour instead just to spice it up a bit. Make a funky hip design.


I think T90 is an awesome logo for a sport brand.I like the choice of colours because black and yellow blend really well together.It's also in
the shape of football which is very clever considering football is the most played sport in on the planet.It also displays a Nike sign which is one the most recognised brands in sport, its showing that T90 is a good brand if it's linked with Nike.If you look closely you can see the T90 logo looks like a target with the 90 as the bullseye.





the plymouth argyle log is a good logo to 
Use on brands.Because they are a professional football
Club people will wear brands to support and advertise the
Club.The actually emblem of Plymouth argyle is very well designed.The dark green and white go rather well together and give the club the nickname of "green army", the curvy badge with the white ship floating is pretty cool and the P.A.F.C in capitals really stands out.One improvement could be putting the emblem
and the P.A.F.C in one.
