Week 1, Session 2

Today's class started with the analysis of the second Simpsons poster design and then we looked at each groups homework. We had to create a poster that was aimed towards 2 different Simpsons characters. Through the classes discussion it was clear that we all needed to be more conscious in what rhetorical devices we are using in our posters and remembering that we don't need to show the characters/target audiences so literally to represent them.

Next each group began to write up a project plan. This was quite difficult at this stage in the process and a lot more research is needed before we can write this out fully. It was useful to work out what research needed to be done and what was required from us to complete the brief. 

As a class we brainstormed and created word lists on the type of people that would be at both of the events to get an idea of the range of target audiences. This showed how specific we can be when choosing a target audience for our event as there are many dry different types of people that go to the beach. 

For the last half hour of class we had a lecture in the pit where we went over creating mood boards and we could ask questions about the project.
