Week Eight

We attended the Tech for Good Live Funding event at Hyper Island. At the event we took control of the social media platforms, I was responsible for recording the event to Facebook Live and Alicia for Periscope. At the event we listened to four speakers from different charities and their experiences with Tech for Good, as well as tips and advice on how to start up your own project. Halfway through the event my phone ran out of battery meaning we were unable to film the whole talk continuously - from this I have learnt to bring a portable charger with me to the next event. We are yet to arrange another meeting with Rebecca albeit, the next event is a live podcast recording and Christmas Party at Night and Day Café on the 13th of December where we will again be responsible for all social media platforms.

In week four of the big agency, we received feedback on our presentations from the previous week. From the feedback we began to understand what we had done well; working well together, clear slides, good Q&A etc. and what we needed to improve on such as presentation skills, less text on screen and being more concise with our ideas. Our positive feedback meant that we were the team chosen to represent Reason Digital. We then arranged a meeting with Reason Digital at their office in Northern Quarter on Monday the 24 th in order to get a greater understanding of what the company wants from us.

Week 18: Assignment 2

In week 18 of The Big Agency we went over the brief for assignment two. This assignment requires us to produce a Creative Group Video summarising key points; I will reflect on this process in my later blog posts. We are also required to use reflective theory in order to demonstrate our professional development. I have written an example below; When working on our Brand Management assignment, Yousaf was delegated the task of drawing logo ideas whilst I typed up key theory we could use and justify our logo choices. Whilst I was typing, Yousaf was suggesting new ideas that I blankly ignored as I was trying to focus on typing up my research. I noticed that through disregarding Yousaf's remarks I had demoralised him and as a result he was not motivated to continue his work. I then immediately brought focus back to his work and praised him for the work he had contributed - as a result he continued to develop more ideas. From this experience and reflecting in action (Schon, 1991) I was
