Hungry Hearts: Homeless Youths Video
Ah... I'm finally done with the clip with some help from Liwen. =^)
We'll be showing this at the end of our presentation, as a sort of 'prototype' before the actual filming of the video, so that the audience can get the basic idea.
Pip, Oscar, hope you guys are going well with the hard-copy proposal! =p

hungry hearts logo designs
hey hey heres my first batch.
i tried to keep it very simple and bold so it could be reproduced easily without loss and on any sized object. let me know what you think :)
- Oscar
Final Logo
I re-photoshopped the logo, and the two extra 'bumps' on the horse's mane are gone now, so it doesn't look like a 'B' anymore. =)
Oh and Liwen, I added one with a black background since your powerpoint slides template is black. Hope it's useful! ^^

Cheryl's Two Cents - The Pitch
Possible slogans for The Show Ponies:
-galloping towards a better future
-racing with you to a better future
-in the spotlight
Hungry Hearts slogans:
-help us help the homeless
-helping the homeless to help themselves
-end homelessness
-a little bit goes a long way
-back the right horse
Hungry Hearts Campaign in a Nutshell:
-main point of the project is to get donations/ awareness/ get youths off the street into homes
-as youths we find it appalling that so many young adults, people who SHOULD be in the know, are so ignorant about the situation of homeless youths in Australia
-not going to resort to silly gimmicks to get your attention. Undoubtedly, you’ve seen enough of that today. Gimmicks will only be distracting us from the real issue here, which is a sombre one.
-Whilst we are comfortable in our homes, youths out there are where they shouldn’t be. Living on the streets, homeless, hungry, and cold.
-We need to do our part to get them off those streets, and the only way we can do that is with money.
-But people won’t donate to an issue they don’t feel strongly enough about. So what we need to do is create awareness, so that people DO know what the problem is, how severe it is and what they can do to help. Make it easier for them to help and they will. From there, things can be set in motion.
-what kind of events can we propose to create awareness
-media release
-market day booth
-flyers
-posters
-free gifts (heart-shaped lollipops, blankets, campaign wristbands)
-awareness ribbon (silk heart ribbon with a pin – got to buy silk ribbons)
-got to find out where and how much to print out samples of the advertising materials (flyer, poster, proposal, etc) and find out if there is a cost involved in setting up a booth on market day
Oh, and Liwen and I met this evening at the library and with Liwen's input as well, this is the outline I came up with for our presentation slides, based on what cropped up in our discussion and what we deemed was important:
• Our team – our roles
• Why we want to do this
• CLIP
• The BIG picture [our main proposal, i.e. the campaign, slogan and the events planned, and how we’re going to get the word out (the mediums we can use for the media release/media package) and spread awareness, video]
• Getting into the DETAILS
• Examples of some of the promotional material (clips, flyers, posters)
• Budget i.e., tent, freebies, advertising/marketing expense, utilities (setting up booth, do we need to pay?)
• Timeline
• Target audience
• Why we are the right company for this
Do tell us if we left out something. We can flesh it out and elaborate more during tomorrow's meeting. See y'all there! *hugs*

Group Logos
Hallelujah. I'm done photoshopping the logos at last. I do swear I'm cross-eyed now...
ANYWAY. What do y'all think? Which one do you prefer? Is the 'SP' visible enough in both?
I wanted it to be subtle and not too blatant.
p.s. I can amend them if anyone wants something else added to the logo, etc. Not a problem there. ^^

TUTORIAL ASSIGNMENT: Nuclear Waste Dump Sign
We decided to use the colour red predominantly as it has been scientifically noted to arouse the senses, and universally understood to convey connotations of 'blood', 'danger', and to be alert.
The skull and crossbones signify 'death'. And the wavy arrows symbolize 'radiation'. Together, they look malicious enough that a passerby should be warned and wary. The man running away from the area portrays the action the passerby should take.
p.s. We initially thought about adding an arrow to show the direction in which the man was running, but decided against it, as it could be misconstrued by some to mean 'hunting'.
