Blog Entry # 3.3 - Design Brief

I am going to design my own cereal box. The cereal box has to honor a person from World History. Cereal boxes often have an image or images of creatures. The cereal box will be informative and include facts about the person. It should represent the regular size of a cereal box and include its features as well. Our target market is for teenagers so that they can have knowledge about a person they have never heard or learned about before.

Blog Entry # 3.2 - Design Task

Our task for this marking period is to create our own cereal box. We were assigned a specific person and we have to honor that person on the cereal box. The person is not Amercian nor Canadian. We have to work individually for the first time. We will look and observe other cereal boxes and observe how they were created. Also, we will learn how to use photoshop in order to make the cereal box.

Entry #11 - Picture Research

This image is appropriate because parents are being empowered in the PTA. They are knowledgable about what's happening at their kid's school and they know what is needed to make sure their child is succeeding in school. The parent is not kept in the dark about what's going on with their child academically because they are a part of this association.

This image is appropriate because it shows everyone's hands together. This is a symbol of teamwork. There is teamwork with the Parent Teacher Association. Parents have to contribute and come to the meetings so they can know about their child's school, amongst other things such as programs. So there is a partnership with the parents and the teachers.

I think this image is appropriate for my invitation because it shows how people can come together to help education. With the Parent Teacher Association, everyone comes together to help out the community and better the school so the child can have a better learning experience. It is a national organization. This is why I think this is appropriate for my invitation.
