Blog Entry # 4.12- Progress (E)

1. So far I did not add anything to the box but the Title.
2.On my box, I need to add the person, cereal and some extras like fruit and a glass of milk.
3. For attitudes in technology, I would give myself a 5 because I may may get off-track sometimes but I manage to get my work done in class. In order for me to change that 5 into a 6, I will have to stay completely focused until I complete my work.

Blog Entry # 4.9 -Cereal Names (B)

Five different names for my cereal could possibly be:

  • Command O's
  • Conquer Crunch
  • Sargent Charms
  • Mood Moons
  • Cannon Balls
I chose those names to be the name of my cereal because the all have something to do with the character that I am researching then.

    Blog Entry # 4.8- Target Consumer (B)

    My cereal will be targeting kids that are 7 years of age or younger but it doesn't mean that only 7 year olds can eat. My cereal box will contain a lot of colors that will attract the attention of the children. The box will even come with a little surprise inside. The back of the box will contain either a crossword puzzle or maybe  an anagram puzzle. On the side of the box will of course be nutrition facts  along with some healthy facts as well.

    Blog Entry 3.8- Target Consumer (B)

    My poster will be targeting families. That way, we may get more tourists than just inviting just couples. There are a lot of things that the family can do while they are in Antigua. They can visit English harbor which is a place where you can admire the scenery of many different yachts. The whole family can also play on a nice golf course. When they are tired, they can all relax at the sandals resort hotel.

    blog Entry #2.19- Greeting Card Reject 2 (B,D)

    1) This card is targeting people from ages 7+.

    2) This may be appealing to this consumer because of the animation features along with the letters. The letters are probably funny looking and weird which is what children of that age have a liking for.

    3) The design for the consumer could be improved a little. It could appeal to the customer more. The card could probably have a funny picture on the inside left, cover. Also, the back of the card could have a maze or something of the sort. Like any business, I would not want the consumer to stop buying my products so I would add something that would make the consumers keep o purchasing this product for tomes to come.

    blog Entry #2.18- Greeting Card Reject 2 (B,D)


    1) The consumer target from ti card are people from the ages 14+.

    2) The fact that it is a real photo on the card, I believe that it will appeal to the consumer it is targeting. People from the ages 14 and up begin to acquire a disliking towards things that are make- believe or fake.

    3)  There were also no changes to this card . That is because this was my plan right from the start.

    Blog Entry #2.17- Greeting Card Reject (B,D)


    1) This card is contributed to the age group from 7+.

    2) This card could be somehow appealing to tat specific consumer because of the features of the picture. The picture has a lot of colors, and Mainly because it is a cartoon. The letters can also appeal to the consumer. The letters look like bubble letters written in some books read by this age group.

    3) The greeting card along with my sketch is the same . I did not make any changes in the making of the final product.

    BLOG ENTRY # 2.16

    1) This postcard is meant for ages 16+. That is because the photo shown in this postcard is not really what a child 13 or under would really like. they would probably ave it thrown away.

    2) The element that I think will appeal the audience for this cards is the reality of the picture.

    3) I did not make any changes because i plan to stay focused on my sketches.
