 * Assignment # 2**

You will be leading an advertising campaign. The first thing you need to do is to decide on a product that you would like to represent. Also, you must create an advertising team. One catch: you must have new partners this time. No partner may be the same. Also, both genders must be represented within your group. By the end of the period you must tell me what product you will be focusing on. This period you may use to research possible topics.

Step 1:


 * 1) Your group must choose 3 criteria upon which your product will be judged. As a class, we will choose 3 overall criteria that the class will use to judge each product.
 * 2) Take a moment or 2 to ask your classmates their thoughts on your product. LISTEN to what they say and how they react. This will provide you with some ideas.
 * 3) What is your target market ? This market should guide marketing choices in regards to labels, advertisements, etc.
 * 4) You must start brainstorming your logo- how will it look, design, etc. Again, please consider your target market when considering this.
 * 5) Analyze your #|survey results. This should include 1 graphic in your presentation that shows the data collected.
 * 6) What is the data telling you? How might you change your product? Was the data collected helpful? Do you need to re-phrase your questions?

Sept. 27th


 * 1) So far, you should have completed the above requirements. Your target market should have been chosen. Your logo should be designed. Each of these will be part of the project rubric.
 * 2) Now, you must design a 5-10 item questionnaire that you will use to guide your research. The questionnaire should include such questions as: what brand colours and designs should I use?; is your product name "catchy"?; how does your product compare to other products?; what is the impression of this new product?; etc.
 * 3) Make the questions simple.
 * 4) Provide multiple choice answers when possible.
 * 5) When your group is ready, you may survey the class.
 * 6) Zoomerang would be a great survey creating tool. We will look at this in class.

If so, great, you will be asked to be student-leaders this week as we examine Prezi. Your first task is to go to the "Learn" page and begin an introduction to Prezi. Once you are comfortable, you may create a free "Public" account. Be sure to use your NBSS mail and use your first name and last initial only. Manual and database

Today you will be continuing to look at Prezi. Your task, within your group, is to create a Prezi. There is one catch, you must finish before you leave. Topic? Your choice. Each Prezi should have the following (minimum): Remember, it is due today. Keep it simple and fun. Hint: work together, it will be simpler and make the learning more fun.

 * Tuesday, October 18th**
 * 1) as a poster using powerpoint, Prezi or by taking photos and creating your poster with original photographs and using a medium such as photostory.
 * 2) by creating an audio ad, like you would hear on the radio. The Audacity software is on your netbooks. If you need a refresher from last year, the tutorial for the app may be found here.
 * 3) by creating a TV commercial using Moviemaker on your netbooks. **__For TV and/or radio advertisements, you must also create a script with the roles, expectations and speaking lines for all group members.__**
