Final project Sep-Dec 2011


Well, we got to the third term. Time to work on finishing the project. But what's the project about? well, we are designing a campaign for our most important event. "Chinita's Fair". This time the products created for the campaign will be exhibit it in our URBE EFL Center in SL.

An advertising campaign is a specific course of action designed to advertise a company, cause, or product that employs an intentional and carefully coordinated series of marketing tools in order to reach the target audience. The end purpose of any ad campaign is to boost awareness of the subject matter and generate demand. The exact structure of the advertising campaign will often depend on the nature of the product or cause and the target audience that the campaign is designed to reach. 
While specifics vary from one advertising campaign to another, some of the same tools are used in just about any campaign. Both print and electronic media are often used to generate attention and enthusiasm for the subject of the campaign, often with the logical and timely launch of different tools at specific points in the overall campaign. While in time past, electronic media referred more to television and radio broadcasts, that component now includes tools such as online banner ads, text messaging, and email advertisements.


We have to thank professor Nuris Zambrano for the help she gave us in this project. On her visit to our class she left us some guidelines on how to work with a campaign:

Graphic Concept:
Selecting key words
2- 3 meaningful terms
Singtagmatic relation
Rhetoric

Main features of the event:
Composition: format orientation, diagram and reticule

Design determiners:

color
fonts
graphic elements

Include the names of the participants and their avatars.

Well, this is going to be fun! See you in SL!

Intro Task: Writing a welcome post

Hello, everyone!.. since everybody should be working on their first  post in your scoop.it this week.. This is an example you can follow to write your welcome to my Scoop.it post.





A. Read about Carlos. Tell about you.  (This is just a model.. feel free to add more to the different paragraphs)

Hello, I'm Carlos Delgado. I'm 20 years old and I study Graphic Design at Urbe, in Maracaibo, Venezuela. I live in the north-west part of the city.

I love comics, mangas, illustration, Caricatures and specially Videogames. I enjoy mostly RPG games like Final Fantasy and Persona games. I work as a Caricaturist for people around the world in the webpage Fiverr. This is the link of my profile: https://www.fiverr.com/tenjidesign/make-a-high-quality-head-caricature?funnel=2014091519313346919411760

 I don't like smoking or drinking alcohol, I really dislike people who smoke in your face.

 My dreams are living in Canada with my husband and have a print shop and an illustration studio.

I've always liked English, I've studied it since I was 8 years old, the best way to learn english in my opinion is reading on the internet, playing videogames and watching movies in english.

About Graphic Design and Illustration.

 When i'm drawing Caricatures for people around the world, i really feel motivated by the different stories people have to tell about the caricature they want, i could be for a holliday, a gift, a business and many other crazy reasons, it's really fun to know so many different -and good looking and interesting- people.

My best ability is drawing Caricatures, Cartoons, and other Illustration, though i'm also good at designing prints.

 I work alone, though i love the company of my husband and my brothers when i'm working or having breaks from work.

My best source of help is excellent quality data, which would be Good quality photos for Caricatures, good references for Illustrations, and accurate explanation for designs.

A couple months ago i realized that Drawing and Illustrating is my thing, it's my main source of work and i get better as i work so i really want to focus on that, not only because of profit but also because it's what i love to do.
