INTRODUCTION
The aims of this brief were to create and successfully promote ourselves as a brandand to work together as a team.
We had to come together as a group and put forward ideas andtry agree on a common theme that we all felt represented us.
We had to decide on how best to convey our message.We researched how other brands promoted themselves.
Traditional means such as posters and technological ways such as socialmedia were put forward and used.
The aspect of teamwork was also a large part of the brief. We needed toshow our ability to take forward ideas and delegate or volunteer to do
a task best suited to each person.Feedback and constructive criticism was also key.
I hope to show a good representation of what we achieved and how.

WEEK 1 26.2.16
As a group we researched brand and concept stories and reflected on different ways of promotionand ways we plan to promote our fashion show.
Traditional ways included:
• Invitations• Posters• Look book• Magazines• Programmes• Goody Bags / Merchandise• Business Cards
Modern ways included:
• Websites• Film• QR Codes• Social media sites• Hashtags• Stickers
We then looked at and analysed a selection of college produced magazines and prospectuses to decide on image types, fonts and layouts we liked as a group.

Modern and traditional ways of promotinga brand.

The following 6 pages show a range of paper media produced byvarious colleges.They are produced to show the students work on different fashion courses.We looked through and made notes of what we did and didn’t like.
We liked the merged photos with illustrations in this paper.We found it to be messy, disposable, too big and not informative.
We liked the written script like font used in this newspaper and that it was ina contrasting colour.
We liked the mixture of imagery used herealong with the collage element.We also liked the white space around the pictures.
The group liked the size of this magazine and it’s clearvisual font.We liked the matt finish of the paper and the use ofcollage and illustration.
The group liked the foil text on the front cover.The content was diverse and they had used still life images.We didn’t like the mix of glossy and matt papers.
The group liked this pamphlet as it was a good size when folded out to half its width.We felt it was too big when opened out as below.We liked the clean layout and the clear images.
We decided to use thispamphlet as our inspiration for our own design.

The first step to start our thought process was to do some mind maps about modern and traditional
ways of promoting a brand.
3 groups took a different keyword / phrase and made a Pinterest board inspiredby these words.We then took 6 images which best represented those words and made a mood board withcolours.
