Narrative

Floating somewhere over Tibet in a hot air balloon Phineas Fog find himself in a raging blizzard. He panics and in his frantic struggle to try to control the air balloon, the pot used to hold the gas to ignite the flame falls and knocks Fog out. When Fog wakes up he find himself on the back of a carriage being pulled by a horse. He sits up and all he can see is the back of a bald head. He gulps and manages to stammer out a, “who are you?” The bald man turns his head slightly sideways and says, “you should be sleeping you need the rest.” Phineas reply’s with a “where are we going?” The bald man points and says “there.” Fog looks up and into the distance and he can see the top of what appears to be some type of temple. Fog sits back silent with a puzzled look on his face.  The Bald man breaks the silence. “When we found you, we couldn’t believe you were alive. My master is interested in meeting you.” When they get to the temple the bald man Helps fog off the cart. Fog is hurt pretty bad and can’t walk on his own. They walk into a holy sanctuary. The walls and floor are all made of brick. There are several statues lining the sides of the sanctuary and they are all made of gold. At the end of the temple a man sits cross leg on the floor. “What is your name?” says the mystery man. Fog looks up, ignores the question and says, “Where am I? Where did you guys find me? And why did you save me?” The Mystery man stands up and says, “This is a temple, and you should count yourself lucky for even being here. The man helping you is Master Li YU. “We are shaolin monks from china who have built our strong old here in the Himalayas. I am Master Shin, I am the grand monk.” Fog, unimpressed say’s, Great, soo what do you need me for. Li YU, who is still holding Fog up let’s go causing Fog to fall. We’re wasting our time on this arrogant punk! Li Yu declares. “What could you possibly need me for?  Master shin stands. The great people of this village all saw something today. They saw your balloon crash out of the sky. They saw it, as a sign from the gods telling us everything would be just fine. You see our village hasn’t been too good. The soldiers are occupying the city. Everyone who has a solider is expected to give the solid half of every meal.” “What do you want me to do about it?” Fog says annoyed. “The prophecy speaks of a god who comes down from heaven; and from him, hunger shall be no more. The people think that’s you fog!” This blows I’m out of here. Fog turns and limps to the door. Wait! Don’t you want your balloon fixed? You do what to get home right? If you help my people I will fix your balloon. Fog looks down at the ground and thinks. Im going to hate myself but you’ve got a deal.

            The next day fog gets to work he journeys around the city looking for something he can use to feed the starving people. He finds mustard seeds, goji berries and some doe. You can turn the doe into crackers he exclaimed. I’ve got the perfect idea! We make trail mix! We can use yak jerky too. Well put these on people’s door step anonymously every night!  So they do.  The people rejoice and thank he gods for the extra food.

EOC: Creative content

For my final creative content, I will be sowing my graphic composting skills. To do this I will need photo shop, and images and text. I am going to first start out with a blank templet of a potato chip bag. Then I am going to add a color gradient. After the color gradient I will add the images. The images will be food, ingredients that my product has in it like for example it had yak jerky in it so there will be a picture of jerky on the cover. Next I will add the logo which is something similar to Pringles, it’s a mustache person with a top hat on and a monocle. I felt it fit with the Phineas fog vibe. Last I will add the text over top of the logo. The text title will be Tibetan trail mix, with have two different type faces one for Tibetan, one for trail mix. My final composite will be a complete chip bag.

Week 8 EOC: The Adventure

Floating somewhere over Tibet in a hot air balloon Phileas Fog find himself in a raging blizzard. He panics and in his frantic struggle to try to control the air balloon, the pot used to hold the gas to ignite the flame, falls and knocks Fog out. When Fog wakes up he find himself on the back of a carriage being pulled by a horse. He sits up and all he can see is the back of a bald head. He gulps and manages to stammer out a, “who are you?” The bald man turns his head slightly sideways and says, “you should be sleeping you need the rest.” Phileas reply’s with a “where are we going?” The bald man points and says “there.” Fog looks up and into the distance and he can see the top of what appears to be some type of temple.

Product

“Quality has a direct impact on product or service performance; thus, it is closely linked to customer value and satisfaction.” (Marketing: An Introduction, Armstrong; Kotler, p. 214)

“We define a product as anything that can be offered to a market for attention, acquisition, use, or consumption that might satisfy a want or need. Products include more than just tangible objects, such as cars, computers, or cell phones. Broadly defined, “products” also include services, events, persons, places, organizations, ideas, or mixes of these.” (Marketing: An Introduction, Armstrong; Kotler, p. 208)

Target Market Strategy

 "There is no single way to segment a market. A marketer has to try different segmentation variables, alone and in combination, to find the best way to view the market structure."

 "Dividing a market into different geographical units such as nations, states, regions, counties, cities, or neighborhoods."

Situation or SWOT Analysis

Over all analysis of my product is that the story is attributive and the price at $10.99 its a common bar price. My product is lacking the appeal I feel. Something that makes it jump off the shelf at you. Its easy to miss.

Eoc week 7: The pitch

My pitch is Trail mix made with yak jerky seasoned with mustard seeds; with crackers shaped like goat hooves and dried Goji berries . I piked theses food so that i could have a great story to tell about the Himalayas, monks and yaks. The packaging will  be a back that has a zip lock on top for freshness. 

Week6 EOC: Mex3

Bath and bodyworks cologne for men: I never would have thought to buy this product but a girl gave it to me once for a birthday present and when I wore it, a lot of girls started coming up to me and saying that I smelled really good. After that I started buying more products like lotion and shower soaps and it’s only increased my complements. The best part about it is Bath and body works is mainly a girls store so not many guys use it so I stand out

. 

Vans Casual shoes: I started wearing vans in high school because it went with my social identity as a “skateboarder” Now that I’m out of high school and none of that stuff really matters anymore I still were them because they go nicely with my style and there nice simple shoes that still represent me as a person.

 

Watch from Topman: I have one watch that I like as my favorite because it simple yet it stands out. I was going out to a club one day and I needed something to class up my style so I went into Topman (one of my favorite stores) and I found this watch. I doesn’t have any numbers on it but it doesn’t need to because I don’t use it to tell time. I use it to class up any look the leather and meatal combined make it look luxurious and classy.

Week 5: EOC

I thought before even reading the article it was clever how the title was “Toughest exam question: What is the best way to study” Because for me growing up, finding a good way to study was hard and critical for my success in the class. School and class rooms were not my strong suites. In the article they focus on memory which was what work probably the best was for me. In the article they have this idea of repetition in testing yourself with pre-test and information before the test. In my personal experience I found that I have had great success in studying flash cards of information rather then reviewing the information in bulk. So there is some truth to this, however I found that in the second part of this article that they said that studying with music playing was a bad idea. I think this can be wrong. I think it depends what type of music you listen to. I feel like when you listen to music with lyrics yes it could affect your recall latter on. But I also feel like if you listen to music without lyrics then it doesn’t affect you and you can recall it latter on. 

EOC Week 4: A new app

I have a new app idea that would help people working with large files. I think that there should be an app that works as a storage space for files such as videos and pictures. The app would be like a vault that you can use to access your pictures. But unlike similar apps, it would be connected to the internet so it would use the storage space on your phone. This is a great idea because with things like Instagram and snap chat a lot more people are taking picture of everything. They also are making the cameras have a higher resolution which again means it takes up more space. Upon the download I think that you should get a option, where you can set it as your default saving method so that you can take pictures on the fly and they automatically go into the internet drive. This would help people have more free space on there phone for other apps or music or whatever they like. This drive could also be used to back up important data. With this drive it will be able to me accessed through the internet so you would be able to upload content through a computer, from a high quality camera. This internet drive could also be used to save audio or recorded files. Then if you have music or something recorded on a device that is not your phone you can always get on the internet and upload some more files. This idea needs to be thought out a little bit more because it a little rough around the edges but over all I think that it is and app that most people would fine helpful or useful, especially people that are in a creative artistic field like students in the art institute.

Week 2 EOC: Gaming

A cash cow for the video game industry is the new Play station 4. Play station is cheeper then most of it competitors with the same resolution and gaming experience. The PlayStaion 4 launched in 2013 and sold  1 million units world wide in the first 24 hours. Before that the Playstation 3 had sold over 80 million copies total. Before that the PlayStation 2 was named the best selling home gaming system. Talk about money!

But still with the PC you still need to update thing like Graphics cards and monitors which is the down side that makes this questionable.

While the Nintendo 3ds sells skyrocket, the wii u sells stay the same. People predict the wii system isnt going anywhere just yet. Nintendo's cash cow is the 3DS so they will keep trying to keep up with the PlayStation and x box gaming systems. But will it ever surpass Playstaion or X box? Probably Not which is why Nintendo is just a dod,

Week 1 EOC: Great Customer Service

I Had exceptional customer service recently by a realtor lately. Me and and five friends have been trying to get a house lately that has five bedrooms and can fit most of our needs and requirements. This has not been easy for us because were young and only 3 out of five of us have rental experience. So we have been looking at houses for about 3 weeks now with no luck. The first house that we really wanted we go denied on our application they didn't even process the application. The owner of the house took one look mat our application and threw it away. We didn't expect this so it hit us kind of hard. a lot of us lost hope that we would find a good house but we kept going. So this time I set up 3 house to look at and view. Two of the house were the exact same model but one looked better and was cheaper so we gravitated towards that one. Now we didn't want to get rejected again so we asked more questions and they eventually directed us to the property manager for a man named Dennis. Now, they told us he was very easy to work with and he was good at compromising. so we called him up and I introduced myself and I said we wanted to know more about the expectations of what the owner wants to see. And all he asked me was how many of you guys are there? and I said five. After that he went on saying it was to many and that it would cause problems for the neighbors because all of the cars and that it would be hard for him do do anything at all. After that we went to the other house. We told the realtor what had happened with Dennis and she couldn't believe it. She then said," I will help you guys by sending you more options or giving you some tips on applying at this house." when we asked her why she was being so kind to us? and she said, "If we keep trying to do what’s right, at the end of the day we believe the marketplace will reward us." The social Marketing concept. So we took her advice and we are going to see what happens today actually.

Week 1 eoc: My voice

              Visual effects is my passion. With visual effects I can make people feel an emotion at at cretin point in time and I love that. I like it when people see my videos and they laugh, cry, smile, or show any emotion what so ever. With visual effects you can shoot a scene that looks good the way it is, but then you make make it even more intense with visuals. For example, if you have a romantic scene between a boy and a girl and he is walking her home and there's snow on the ground and it's mid day and they go in for a kiss. That's great and all but you can make that even more visually appealing seamlessly, with adding some effects. So instead of them walking home mid day. Imagine them walking home at dusk, and instead of snow just being on the ground you can add some snow particles falling to the ground slowly to bring out more emotion. Visual effects is great and the thing about being good at visual effects is if you are good at it, know one even notices it. That's right you spend hours and hours on a project and no one even notices it. But I like it that way its  fulfilling when people don't know that I created something amazing. So this is definitely a job that you do for the love of it, and I love it.
