after one day of making my group i have 89 members

i was surprised at the amount people who joined because i didn't think my friends would take it seriously and ignore the group because they didn't know it was for college some of my friends even invited their friends to join the group.

Tesco's 14th store in the Cambridge area is in Mill Road, Cambridge, one of Cambridge’s most cosmopolitan areas. The No Mill Road Tesco Campaign was set up to oppose these plans, and kept Mill Road Tesco-free for almost two years. Over 5,000 people signed our on-street petition and 1,000 objected to its planning applications. Tesco lost 3 planning applications, an alcohol license application and a public enquiry, leaving it with one of its smallest stores in the UK that it will have extreme difficulty in delivering to. The opening of the store brings the campaign into a second phase: ever-more active support for local traders, and making sure that any breach of planning condition or public safety results in Council action.

this information was taken from http://www.nomillroadtesco.org/. a website against the mill road tesco.

tom woodcock came in to our school to and told us about how he protested to stop tescos coming to mill road and ruining local stores. even though they were unsuccessful in their campaign they still managed to stop them from being able to sell alcohol and stopped them having huge lorry delivery's .

blog reflection

today I created a blog post describing my two stencils (colour and black and white version)
what went well was that the pictures uploaded successfully and without problems
what went wrong was that the black and white stencil was small and became pixelated
tomorrow i need to start cutting out my stencil

My design is based on the free hugs campaign
this wasn't part of my original campaign idea but i decided i preferred this one.

this is the black and white stencil template of my design

A campaign that would improve the quality of my life would be to improve the public transport service as I think that the current service is confusing and unreliable. I think this would benefit the target age group (16-19 year olds) as they use the service almost daily. It would improve my life as me and my friends always get confused by busses and sometimes get on the wrong bus.

A campaign that would improve the life of others would be to stop racism as it’s a big problem nowadays. I think this would have an impact in the target age group as it’s a big problem in this generation and we could stop it.

A campaign that would make people smile would be to bring back the 90’s as it was one of the greatest cheesiest decades ever. It would be useful because everyone would be happy because life would be simpler. It would benefit the target age group because they grew up in the 90’era so can relate to the campaign.

Stencil evaluation


my idea is taken from another t-shirt design.
i like the simplicity of the design.
the H and O in who are blurred because the original design had the ghostbusters logo and i decided that that it would be to difficult to cut out the stencil.

"Banksy previously believed to be one Robert or Robin Banks and born in 1974/5 in Yate, Bristol.
He doesn't do interviews very often but was interviewed in 2003 by Simon Hattenstone, a reporter for the Guardian newspaper. He described banksy as looking like a "cross between Jimmy Nail and Mike Skinner of the Streets" and turning up wearing scruffy casual jeans and t-shirt, sporting a silver tooth, silver chain and silver earring.

Banksy started doing graffiti when he was 14 years old but admits "I was quite crap with a spray can, so I started cutting out stencils instead." He has come a long way since spraying his tag on the walls of bristol. He changed his stomping ground to Shoreditch in london where you will find lots of his work on display, to holding exhibitions in Los Angeles."

my design is using words the from theme song for the gohstbusters movie
it was inspired by a friend of mines t-shirt i think it would be successful at it would target both sexes my shirt connotes the black with the white as it makes the writing stand out also the orange stands out as its the only colour on the shirt it addresses my target audience because the age group would have grown up with ghostbusters and recognize the logo.

my designs are similar except i chose not to have a ghost on my stencil.

Battlefront: Aimee Nathan - Da Koffee Kup Krew from Battlefronters on Vimeo.

the video i chose was called the "Da Koffee Kup Krew" it was trying to promote anti-littering and i think it was successful in that. I think it is a clever video because its showing the coffee cups being bad to the environment for example, littering and leaving lights on and it gives you different messages as the video goes on. i think the use of comedy in this worked well and the video wouldn't have worked as well without it.

my campaign was to move college to Disneyland
i was surprised that there were more girls than boys that said no
i was also surprised that all the 17 year olds said they would want to move the college to Disneyland
i asked the question because i feel that people would be happier in college if it was at disneyland
also more people would be exited to go to school if it was at Disneyland
i think that the people who said no because theyre not fans of Disney or that they like the school where it id

this is my final design for the creative and media diploma which then got chose for the main creative and media logo i chose to do a simple but fun design that shows what the course is about
our printer only prints four colours so we had to change the green splat to a yellow splat so that we could print the logo

the skills/tools i used in photoshop to make the breakdown of my favorite t-shirt were the text tool to write text the magic wand tool and eraser tool to remove the background i also used the transform tool to re-size and rotate the picture finally i used the shape tool to make the arrow

I chose this shirt because i think its cute
i like the simplicity of it i also like the simple colours it uses.

this shirt would cost around £20 including postage if you bought it off the website www.threadless.com
i think this is a good price as it would be around that price if you bought it in-store



i chose this shirt because i think its eye catching and interesting
i like the colours and the design of it
this shirt should cost around £20 including postage if you bought it from the site www.designbyhumans.com
i think this is reasonable as you would get it from around the same price in a store

i prefer the first shirt as its cute and fun

The history of the t-shirt

t-shirts were created in the early 19th century by the army to use as underwear. Stars like James Dean then made the popular by wearing them as a shirt.
Different types of t-shirts then came into fashion for example, v necks and tank tops
during the 80s and 90s t-shirts became popular as advertising for things such as bands for example rolling stones and Frankie goes to Hollywood
t-shirts now-a-days t-shirts have become a household product
you can also use t-shirts in campaigning to get your message across to the public.
