CoP Tutorial 2

In this tutorial we discussed how to organise my chapters, as I was a bit lost on how to separate and structure my writing. Below is my plan before the tutorial:

Chapter one

How do we perceive colour?

Chapter two

Manipulation in branding

Chapter three

Children's packaging

I felt a bit uncertain whether this was the right way to go, so we rearranged it as so:

Chapter one

Colour and audience (children)

Chapter two

Brand and communication theory

Chapter three

Case studies/visual research

Notes:

• send Amber introduction and first chapter by next friday
• three or four chapter plan (time plan)
• 500 - 700 word count for intro
• link this into extended practice research

Research:

• communication theory - Mediums & Message (book)
• The Secret Life of 5 year olds - a documentary consisting of filming children in a nursery and the things they get up to and how they communicate and deal with issues.

Practical

I need to be thinking about my practical response and have a clear idea soon. Some thoughts we had:

• I don't want to do a standard rebrand of a product, or design a new brand for children. I'd much rather do something more abstract and abit more unique, that can still be linked to my written work.
• Amber suggested the idea of packaging an emotion or feeling, and using colours to communicate it to children.
• It needs to be packaging and have an audience of children, and can be quite lighthearted.
