Blog Entry #4.10 - Slogans (B)

1)Feed your creativity 2)For the best artists 3) Get a dose...of Michaelangel - O's 4) Indulge! And let your tummy and taste buds enjoy. 5) Making the artist within you, shine through. There are like three of the slogans that are good but i would say the third one is the best. It goes with the best option of all the cereal names I came up with, it rhymes and is also catchy, seems to just roll off your tongue.

Blog Entry #4.9 - Cereal Names (B)

1) Caravaggio Corn Puffs 2) Michalangel - O's 3) Cara - Flakes 4) Italian Pops 5) caravaggio Saint Corn Pops The second cereal name is the best because it combines his name with the type of cereal that there's going to be in the box. It also sounds the catchiest and seems to be the most creative.

Blog Entry #4.8 - Target Consumer (B)

My target consumer would be artists. But specifically young artists. To target this customer i'm going to use bright colors, rainbow colors. And the text is going to be playful and bold. The images I pick are going to be child friendly, not boring looking and dull. The slogan I choose will also target young kids and the front of the box will advertise a toy inside.

Blog Entry #4.5 - Design Brief (A)

I am going to design and make a cereal box based on Italian artist Caravaggio. The box must include important facts about Caravaggio and events during his lifetime. The goal of the product is to inform about Caravaggio and make the design of the front cover appealing. My product will mostly target young children appreciative of art. I believe a succesful product is defined by the feedback it gets, if people purchase it or not. The product i make i want it to be colorful, to stand out from other cereals. Also important information on Caravaggio to keep my targets interested in it and encourage them to buy it. Things i wouldn't do with my product would be to have allot of blank space or too much writing and keep away from dull colors. All these things could make targets not want to use my product.

Blog Entry #3.12 - Process Journal 3 (E)

The items i have added to my poster include the red background. I've also put the main picture and an extracted image of the leader. I also put a quote about the country on the top left corner, kind of like a slogan. Next week i need to add the other required images including popular sites, their currency, their flag etc. Based on the Criterion F rubric i would give myself a 6 because I'm always cooperative and I portray allot of independence when working on the poster.
