Update

Today I completed my questionnaire. I then photocopied another twenty copies as I think this would be an acceptable amount of surveys to give out in order to give myself the right idea of what type of advertising techniques my target audience would be drawn into. I have began distributing these amongst some students in my class.

Today I continued working on my questionnaire. I am aiming to give my completed survey out to year eleven students of different genders, my classmates and maybe some students from year ten as these are the people most likely to share the same views and be attracted by the same aspects.

Wednesday 4th March

Today I continued and completed my history of advertising research and also researched different types of advertisement and ASA, BARB and PCC. This is very helpful to me as it allows me to see what is and is not acceptable content in advertisement and how complaints and viewers are documented.

Monday 2nd March

Today I began my research on advertising. I also had my first meeting with my client Mr. Newman I asked him several questions about the project and what he wanted me to do specifically I found the meeting very helpful.
