Music Flyer

Reflection

 

In the two photos above you will see pictures of the planning of my flyer which is advertising my very own music school. Making this planning for my flyer was quite fun and very entertaining. I enjoyed making a flyer as well as filling in the answers to the questions that were asked of me on picture 2. I felt like I was a business woman, which is in fact my goal in life. I hope in the future we will do more fun activities like this instead of the usual boring things / activities that students do in school. The reason I have decided to advertise a Music School is because I like to escape the boring homework and the strict rules and personally the way I do that is by singing or just listening to music. Now while I don't have a perfect angel voice, I still enjoy doing it. So I know that some people like to sing but are too scared of other people judging them, so in my Music School there is only one rule: No judging people. So that way everyone else that has an escape similar to mine can enjoy it without having to worry. As well as that we have learned how to properly advertise something, the rules of an advertisement, the importance of an advertisement, why people make advertisements and the different types of advertisements. We also learned how to make a proper flyer and not just a planning. Everyone in the class is doing a different topic and they all have their own reasons. Hopefully everyone else in this IT class enjoys and learns from  this activity as much as I have. So this is my Reflection of this exercise that we have / are currently doing in IT class.

Reflection

In the photo above you will see my final copy of the flyer that I have been planning on making. In this flyer you will see, the title, my name, two different slogans and the following questions will be answered in this flyer: a short, simple explanation of why they should come, what we do there, what to except, where it is, when it is, how to sign up and the contact information for those who would like to join this music school. I have made my flyer colorful and appealing for the audience I am targeting, which are preteens and teens. The reason colorful flyers will attract my audiences eye is because it is a fact that most preteens and teens (13-16) have a short attention span and will most of the time not listen or watch something that is not funny or colorful or even dramatic. I have included adjectives to exaggerate my point such as; calming, peaceful, majestic, beautiful, harmony, heavenly, melody, tunes, lyrics, fun, an escape, no work, no stress and non-judgmental. Now you might think that the word non-judgmental is not very appealing but in this day and age with so many people being judged and bullied most teenagers just want a place where they can be themselves and have no reason to be looking over their shoulders 24/7. This is my reflection of my final cop of the flyer advertising my music school.

 Peer Reflection

Self Evaluation

When I read Arthur's Evaluation on my work, I was quite satisfied. As he told me, in a very detailed description, what I did well and what I did not so well. He told me that I can improve on my 500-700 word essay and make it a little less colorful next time I do a digital essay. He also told me what I did well, which was the flyer as I made it very clear and appealing for my target audience. I will take the suggestions my peer has said and try not to do the same mistakes again. I am very glad I could get the opinion of my peer, as I know that he has never seen my work before and will give me an honest opinion. This was very educational and I learned a lot about my strengths and weaknesses, on what I can improve on and on what I have done well. I will strengthen my weaknesses and I can help my peers using my strengths. The reflection was very well detailed and proper. I could understand everything he meant and what he was saying. He made it very tidy and easy to comprehend. It was a great reflection. 

Overall Reflection

Overall my work is on an average scale. I have done all the things that were given to me but some I did not do as well as others. I have reflected on all the work that I have done, though I sometimes did one or two words less than two hundred words. Other than those tiny mistakes I have updated my blog every time I finished my work, I always finished my work before the deadline, I have done at least two hundred words in each reflection, I have followed all the steps that were given to me each time I did a piece of work. So although I am currently on an average scale, I hope I can do my work well enough to be on an exceeding average scale. To reach my target I will work harder and focus more in class than I currently am. I have weaknesses and strengths. Those weaknesses and strengths are clearly shown in my work that I have posted on the blog. I shall improve on my weaknesses and share my strengths with those that are weaker at them than I am. Overall I am very happy and satisfied with the work that I have done and posted on my blog. I plan on working harder on my work next term and if I do, I will hopefully I get as much positive results next term as I did in this term.

My Music School

Music School

My name is Rania Sarahni and I study in Emirates International School Meadows. I have seen that we have newsletter being generated in our school but students are rarely contributing towards it. So I am planning to develop a video advertising the need to write articles on my music/singing school in school. So for my MYP project I intend to create a feasible solution that rectifies these issues in our communities. For this project I will inform the others on the effects music has on a human being as well as the fun it possesses. It can consume you in its melody and tune.

There are not enough Music Schools in my community. I believe that this is a very big problem as music can be a type of escape from school, work, your problems, you parents, your friends and even sometimes yourself. It can make you experience love and hate, dark and light, evil and good in just its harmony and lyrics. This is why I am opening my Music School. I am targeting students in Middle School and High school as well as the occasional College students because they are the people with the most stress in their lives. I will create flyers to pass out to the students so that they realize that they have a place where they will not be judged or have expectations to follow, it will be a place of peace and melody.  So if you want to escape all that hard, tiring and stressful work, then come on over and just relax in a calm and soothing atmosphere.

Different types of advertisements

Below are examples of the twelve advertising techniques and my point of view as a consumer looking at the ad and commenting on it.

Association: 

Using an actor or someone famous makes people think that the product is good because the celebrity is using it.

Call to action:

This ad says ‘Try 20 free questions now ‘ calling the person  and telling them to come and do a test trial. 

Humor:

This ad certainly would make people laugh, thus it is humorous and appeals to all.

Fear:

Using the fear of death, this ad is notifying and telling you not to throw your life away to smoking.

Sense appeal:

Even though this ad does involve call to action as well, showing this juicy burger upfront appeals to tones taste buds.

Must have:

By revealing its amazing qualities, this Dettol ad certainly seems to be a must have.

Repetition:

Repeating 'sale' is certainly going to grab the eye of the reader

Special Ingredients:

This Vatika ad reveals the special ingredients to strengthen and give your hair a healthy glow

Testimonials and endorsements:

Using Priyanka Chopra, and having a positive quote from her side, simply means it is an endorsement ad.

Claim:

What comes to my mind when I see this advert is that it is quite convincing because the two models ( the young one and the old one ) look very similar and can pass as the same person.

Methods of advertising

Reflection

Today in class we were presenting the posters we have made, My group and I did two different topics we did Newspaper Ads and O.O.H media. O.O.H stands for Out of House media. We split our work into fair parts so everyone did the same amount of work. I also learned from my group members and I gained knowledge from researching for the poster. I learned that newspaper ads a useless if they are not interesting or if they do not catch the eye of the readers. I learned that newspaper ads targets adults and the elderly, because teenagers, children and preteens do not read newspapers these days as they are more into magazines, play station etc. I learned from the other groups when they presented about the different types of advertisements such as; Television advertisements are one of the most popular because you have to watch the ad if you want to watch whatever movie or video or series that comes after, I learned that billboards are not the only form of out of house advertisements; there are hot air balloons, people holding up posters etc. Personally i enjoyed watching everyone present, most people had loud and clear voices whilst some were very quite and shy making it difficult to hear what they were saying. Over all the presentations were quite good though some posters were lacking in information and creativity. Personally my favorite poster was Ria and Anania's poster because you could tell that they split the work fairly and they had an appropriate amount of information and pictures. That is what you are supposed to do when working in pairs, you are supposed to split the work and I think its great that they actually followed that rule.        

The Factors Of Advertisements:

Factors to be considered before making an Advertisements

Advertisements are one of the most crucial things to grab the attention of the audience that you want. It is essential to create an advertisement that is really creative; it attracts more customers and their attention is then on your product. The more creative an advertisement is, the better it is. Creating advertisements is an easy way for best-selling product companies, such as Burger King, Porsche, Toyota, , etc. To capture more of an audience that you targeted.

Here are some key factors to create a successful ad:

•   Focus on a certain target audience.

•   Promote a discount for something that you are selling.

•   Your advert should be original and creative.

•   Your tone of voice should compliment the product.

•   For example: A food ad will not have your boring voice. Your

voice needs to be full of expression and appetizing.

•   Attract customers based on their needs.

•   Select the suitable media for your advertisement. It could be a TV

commercial, brochure, flyer, etc.

•   Use bold words.

•   Include exciting offers.

•   There are 3 important factors for content. 

They are:

1 The way the product works.

2 The role model preferring the product. Someone famous like

Justin Bieber, Messi, etc.

3 A spokesperson, a celebrity showing his linkage to this product.

What is the importance of creating ads?

The importance of having ads is:

1. Advertising is important for the customers. Advertisements play

very important role in the life of customers.

2. It can make your product relatable when seeing idols using it.

MY CONCLUSION:

In conclusion, I would like to say that in order to create a successful ad, you need to use these features to promote your product. These factors will help strengthen your advertisement and will help you catch the audience that you want/need.

This is my reflection of what I have been doing in Digital Design Class

In our Digital Design Class, we have been doing a variety of different things such as; learning how to use a blog, reflecting on the different parts of a laptop and how to appropriately use one, we have been given our four criterion, we were taught how to use publisher, we have been taught how to use a tool called snipper, we are currently learning about ads and the reason they are critical to companies and we have written a 500 word essay about the use of ads which we have posted on our own blogs like this one. We have been given our seats and the passwords of our laptops. Now while most people might find this boring, I find it quite interesting to learn all these new topics and tools that I didn't even know existed before I learned about it. I find that we find the most beauty and wonder in places that we didn't think there would be any beauty and wonder such as; an IT lab. It is beautiful because it shows how much humans evolved and what we are capable of, because we went from cavemen and woman to these creatures that create things so amazing that it just makes you think. What if I can be one of those few creative and energetic minds that make things as impeccable as this? That is my practical, creative summary and reflection on what I have been doing and learning in Digital Design Class.

Reflection

This Activity was very fun and I believe I did very well. we learned how to make C.D covers and properly use publisher. I learned that there is a tool called the snipping tool and I learned how to use it. It was a little confusing at first but I soon understood it with a little help. I hope we can do fun activity's like this in the future.
