We got taught how to deliver our message to our target audience. Our target audience is low skilled people, without jobs. The group has decided to take the emotional approach to delivering the message to the audience. The story we've decided to go with includes me being a father to Amanda. I need to buy her something like an ice-cream but I can't, showing I am a bad provider. Then when I go get a job I will be able to buy her an ice-cream and we'll start laughing giving everybody who watches it a little bit of a good feeling.

I'm still excited for this project.

English Week 1

I haven't been here last week so I missed the ever so important introduction lesson, so I wasn't quite sure what the plan was for this period.... silly me:S.
I've read the reader by now and I have some idea of what were going to do. Do assignments and document what you have learned. I am slowly slowly starting to understand, the importance of documenting your progress, since it is a good way of making sure the lessons you've learned stick.
So what I learned about plagiarism is that plagiarism isn't necessarily a crime, as it is more of an ethical insult. Once you plagiarize trying to get commercial gain from it you are committing a felony.
This period I will learn a lot about plagiarism, trademarks, copyright, which is going to be really useful, since I am going to be working in a creative industry in a few years. Always look out when you are making a mood board and look for reference material, that you don't get too close to the original work. Sometimes this is a bit of a difficult situation since all creativity is is putting together known elements. To how far of an extend you do that is what makes this difficult, but really just a skill to learn.
