How im doing in artefact

In the artefact part of the diploma i have learnt alot about shoes and how they're made and how they've changed over time,ive also learnt how to make felt which i thought i wouldnt enjoy but i actually found it really helpful and interesting,and so did my mum when i got got home and told her what id been doing,i was really proud of the felt i made and would like to use it on the shoe we are now designing.I enjoy art and didnt think thered be much of it on the course but im happy there is.

how im doing in campaign

In the campaign part of my diploma i think im doing well but could contribute and share my ideas more.Im really enjoying the course because im not just in a classroom writing in a book,im going out and doing things that i wouldn't have been doing on a normal GCSE.I think the charity project we're doing at the moment is interesting and has given me a different perspective on charities and charity shops and i hope the rest of the course will be like this.

Learning objective 4

Thrughout the process of planning my campaign you must regularly moniter my progress and examine my achievments and aims.
I must constantly ask myself if im achieving what i set out to achieve and if not,why? Then i should ask what i need to do to either get nearer to achieving my intentions.
I must actively use my reflections to inform,shape or modify my work as i think is appropriate.
When the campaign is over i should include an investigation into the effectiveness of my campaign.This could be carried out by gathering feedback from my target audience using methods such as questionnaires or focus groups.

Shoe Designers

Red or Dead was started by Wayne Andrew Hemingway Esq. and his wife, Geraldine Hemingway in 1982. They had no money, so they emptied their wardrobes and sold them on Camden market one Saturday and before they knew it they had 16 stalls. Before long they had a decent sized company and came across Dr Marten; who changed them from being a work-wear item to something fashionable all around the world.

Christian Louboutin who was born on January 7, 1964 is a footwear designer who launched his line of high-end women's shoes in France in 1991. Since 1992, his designs have incorporated the shiny, red-lacquered soles that have become his signature. On March 27,2007, Christian Louboutin filed an application for U.S. trademark protection of this red sole design:

Compared to a riding boot:

A riding boot is a boot made to be used for horse riding. The classic boot comes high enough up the leg to prevent the leathers of the saddle from pinching the leg of the rider, has a sturdy toe to protect the rider's foot when on the ground, and has a distinct heel to prevent the foot from sliding through the stirrup. The sole is smooth or lightly textured to avoid being caught on the tread of the stirrup in the event of a fall.

The modern riding boot is relatively low-heeled, with a heel of less than one inch, though historically a higher heel was common, as it has always been critically important for riding boots to prevent the foot from slipping through the stirrup. Today, only some styles of cowboy boot retain a higher heel than other modern riding boots.

Materials:

Traditionally, English riding boots are made of smooth leather, usually cowhide, or occasionally pigskin, and most show boots remain like this due to the classic look. However, synthetic leather, vinyl and other materials are becoming more common. Quality of leather varies, with softer, finer-quality increasing the value of the boot. For formal wear, patent leather is occasionally seen, particularly in jodhpur boots designed for Saddle seat horse show classes. For casual riding, riders often wear well-worn show boots, but also may take advantage of new boot designs modeled after the athletic shoe or hiking boot that have been created, using space age synthetics and breathable materials to create what essentially is a "tennis shoe with a heel."





charity work

Dear the Wymondham and Attleborough Mercury,

                                         We are writing to ask you if we can put an advertisement in your newspaper. We are studying creative and media at school and one of our tasks is to help a local charity shop by creating posters, leaflets and adverts and we’d be very greatfull if you’d consider putting the enclosed advert into your newspaper. This would be helping the local charity, Quidenham Children’s Hospice, to raise donations and gain income.

Charity Shop.

In the video we watched Mary Portas go into a charity shop and find reasons why it isn't making as much money as it should and start to make changes to it.The charity shop she went into only sold about 15% of it's donations as people donating were donating rubbish and junk and the staff had to pay for the bins to be emptied twice a week which costs £90,also the stuff was all over the place and not very organised,she changed all this and now the chartiy shop makes alot more money.We discussed how we could improve the local charity shops and we came up with things like; posters,leaflets,talking to local newspapers and better window displays to make it more customer friendly:).
