today...
A lady who helps think of different ways to make a campaign.
  • She taught us that we need need to think, how we get our message across-posters, leaflets, facebook , myspace.....
  • The slideshow she did showed how much work goes into campaigns or company's-such as O2.She used O2 as a example to show how they have advertised their company in many ways.
  • for an activity we were given a task.To come up with a poster for the NHS- we had to think about the colours, how things are layed out , headline and the tagl-line.
  • We had to work in groups of 4
  • i think it went well because we got taught alot, and also we got the chance to do something ourselves too, NHS poster.We had to do a poster to encourage stuff at the hospital-e.g doctors, nurses... and my group chose nurses.

I had to wait ages to colour in my stencil because so many pople were doing it already and there wasn't much space in the room for all of us to do it at the same time.

Blog Reflection

1.what did i do today
Today I added a post on blogger about my stencil design draft .I did a action plan of what i will do this week,print off design,update blog,finish slide show.



2.what went well and why
I did an action plan which will help me with what i am doing this week, so i am more organised. Also i added a post on my blog about my stencil design draft- the love-heart one.




3. what could i have done differently
Could have added more detail on the post , but i didnt have enough time.

my final stencil design(draft)

  • My final stencil is different to my original design .I had to change it because it would be too complicate/difficult to do it as a stencil. So in the end i just used the love-heart because it stood out the most , and would be the easiest to do . Anyway the final (draft)design stencil looked good when i cut it out and sprayed it .

Stencil Art Evaluation

A. What did you learn about this technique?
I had never done this technique before , so i learned alot.I didn't realise how long it was going take.Even though it takes a while to do , it's fun and creative.It looks simple, but its not .


B. What are you most pleased about the skills you have demonstrated?
I have never created a stencil like that before , and i think my stencil design came out well .I learned how to do create a stencil like that in..about..a week!I think my final stencil was good , because I hadn't done this before, and it looks great.

C. What would you change if you could do this part again?
I think I should have used a less complicated design. My design had writing and a picture of a love heart, but for the final stencil i couldn't do that because it would have taken alot of time.So i could only use the love heart that was part of my design.

>>Blood,Sweat and T-shirts<<
  • This clip is about children in India who work in clothes making.
  • Children aged 9-14 work there. Children are sent to work because their parents are poor- so they send their children to work
  • some are treated in poor conditions , some are treated a bit fairer.
  • some don't go back home for a long time, and hardly see their family.It's like a new home to them
  • It shows us who is making the clothes for primark, and other clothes stores.



>>Primark on the Rack<<
  • On the Primark shop window there is a sign about , that the people who make the clothes are checked on and they make sure they are fairly treated...but still people are working in poor conditions.
  • Primark is cheap because the workers are paid hardly anything...
  • You might think,' yay good looking clothes for hardly anything!'...but think about where it's from where it's made.We need to think about where our clothes come from, how the people who made our clothes are treated , how much money they get paid

my 3 campaign ideas

:)My 3 campaign ideas:)




  • campaign that would improve the quality of your own life..education

1.I should be able to get more help at school/college in lessons, because I am slightly dyslexic, and I feel like i'm not getting much help.I was only tested to see if I had dyslexia in year 11 and at college, they should have done something before then.Other people are struggling, not just me.

2.it is relevent to 16-19 year olds because i am 17.Other people need help too with learning who are aged 16-19, also college is really important if you want to get a good job , or go to university.




  • campaign that would have a positive impact on the lives of others ...support

1.Families with children/ teens that are disruptive at home, or cannot cope should get more help from the government/council. I have experianced living in a household with a disruptive sibling who has ADHD and dyslexia, and I think people like me should be able to get more help at home, not have to struggle on their own. Also the police aren’t an answer to everything…

2.This campaign is relevent to people aged 16-19 because other people are out there with the same problems, and need support .


  • something that will make people smile!:)... smile

1.In the morning when u get in the classroom, get free tea or hot chocolate! When you get up in the morning and come to school or college you feel tired. What you need is something so you can :relax, wake up and chill out so you are ready for the day ahead of you!


2.This happens to 16-19 year olds coming into school/college tired everyday.what we need is something nice for when we come in the classroom in the morning.

T-shirt stencil design


'Everybody in love , go put your hands up' are some lyrics from a song called 'Everybody in love'. It's a song by one of my favourite pop groups,JLS.I can't stop listening to it!

I think the design is successful because i asked lots of people which one of my t-shirt designs is best. People i asked liked the idea of having those lyrics on a t-shirt. Also JLS fans will like it ... and it's simple.

I put a love heart on the design, representing 'love', and obviously it's a love song . I drew arrows next to 'up' to make it stand out and added colour -pink-to it.I used the bold writing because i thought if i didn't , it wouldn't look as good.

It addresses my target audiance ,16-19 year olds, because i asked people what design looks better and most people liked this one. Also JLS fans would like it.

I can't think of anything that i could add to it.We only used 2 colours ...so I only used pink and black on the design.If i added anything else to it , it would make it complicated .

stages of how i did...
  • First we were asked to think of anything that came in our heads that would look good on a t-shirt
  • Then we were asked to think of a design of a t-shirt fro 16-19 year olds
  • I came up with 4 designs and asked people which one they thought was best, in the end the final design was the 'Everybody in love..' design.
