Nothing can represented Chinese culture more significantly than dragon dancing.  The Fruit dragon is a dragon for dragon dancing made by fruit rind and wax structure. As previously mentioned, the theme of this program is food and art therefore I combined these two element into one of a traditional Chinese art. In Western Australia, fruit production is crucial for local economy but fruit rinds also peeled off and wasted. By using fruit rind as the cover of a dragon ,we will deliver the message of sustainability by recycling food waste and improve the interaction between Chinese community and  the majority Australian .

I struggled with this logo because it was difficult to think of easily identifiable objects that related to Germany. This logo isn't the easiest to identify unless you know that the eagle is on the German coat of arms, so therefore it does definitely does represent Germany, but not maybe the easiest to recognise, but it is accompanied by beer and sausages which are very stereotypical items, but they are easily related with germany.

The City of Perth will be a major sponsor and I would write an information piece and then regular updates for their website and social media outlets, facebook and twitter. I would also write the Mayor's opening and closing speeches for the event.

As the event is also being supported by the Department of Agriculture and Food, and the Department of Culture and the Arts I would be writing their official newspaper articles and the speeches for the two Honourable Ministers. During the Feastival I would be reporting on the upcoming events, the special guests, and the events that have been held.

My role would also include conclusion articles for the newspapers and magazines, the City of Perth, and the government departments. I may also be required to write a government report on the event. If it becomes a political issue governmental ministerials may also be required.

Our group decided we want to combine fresh local (Western Australian) produce and art to raise awareness of both areas, improve the economy and showcase what Western Australia has to offer. We are hoping this will also have tourism benefits and in the future Tourism Western Australia may also support the Feastival.

Event's rely on communication to be effective. My role as a writer will include preparing advertising material, event updates and event scheduling information for dissemination. This will be for the media and any companies involved in the event. The time period covered will be before, during and after the event is held.

The types of written material about the event which be required includes newspaper and magazine articles and interviews, blurbs to be read by presenters, and scripts for interviews for both radio and television.

Effective communication will ensure the event is a success, and it can become an annual event.

This event is due to how popular sausages are and how much of an icon they are to German cuisine. So for this event, which is an all ages event we will be calling on people to eat as many sausages as they can. Also we are incorporating a sausage tasting, as well as a chance to try and determine what sausage is which. There will also be an opportunity to make sausages with competition to make the most authentic German Sausage as well as the longest/largest sausages. After making these sausages there will be facilities to cook the sausages, which allows for people to not only get involved with the cultural experience but also get to socialise with others and try their creations.

# data[].attributes.body
This event will be structured like the popular and world wide renowned event that can bring up to 6 million people to Munich, Germany, of the same name where they celebrate alcohol. So for this event it will be an 18 restricted area as there will be alcohol present as well as the fact that Oktoberfest is known for its excessive drinking therefore to prevent any problems patron who are involved in the event must remain in the area to participate. Oktoberfest is an event that begins late September and carries through to October which is relevant as our festival is happening during September. This event is very important to the Bavarian culture and is said to be a folk festival.

This event will include drinking and trying different types of German beers, from the different categories of wheat beers, pale beers, dark beers as well as unfiltered beers. There will also be drinking competitions of who can drink a pint of beer in the least amount of time. There will be security incase of any unsocial behaviour as well as a medical tent if there is any problems.

# data[].attributes.body
As a multicultural country that was established by European settlers the influence on Australian cuisine by the german culture is seen through Australians incorporating German sausages as an everyday food item. For example it is a normal occurrence to find a Bratwurst sausage in your local super market. This is because German sausages and german recipes have been highly popular due to the uniquely German taste. There have been so many incorporations of German sausages that can be found in local supermarket if not local butcher, but it has also become common to find german shops, butchers as well as restaurants all over Australia. This is due to the large influx of German immigrants over the last few decades, as well as German cooking has become more common in each household as more flavours are being explored due to the rise in social acceptance of different cultural foods.

# data[].attributes.body
My role in this assessment was to involve German culture into the festival. This is because my discipline is International Relations, so I chose Germany and chose aspects of their culture that I was previously familiar with. This was inclusive of Oktoberfest and German sausages, so I decided that this would be an appropriate way to display Germany’s cultural impact. As not only would these be typical German representations they would be fun and festival events that wouldn’t be seen as out of place. So my role was to construct an event that could occur with these two concepts.

My role also included establishing the impact Germany has had on food in Australia as well as locally. This was important as we were promoting local produce so I had to look at how German cuisine was recognised in Perth.

For the posters, to create inclusivity within the designs and to keep the international idea for our event. I thought that the posters should have translated versions for other languages - especially for the countries we are targeting. Maybe have printed versions of these translated posters and also translated versions placed on the website and mobile app.

# data[].attributes.body
The posters would also be displayed on the mobile app and website to further the advertisement.

Also to futher the idea of creating harmony through the campaign

Say a viewer had seen the poster on the street then saw the website, they would see the post on the website and easily recognise that it is the same event.

# data[].attributes.body
The Posters look vitually the same to create harmony throughout the campaign and let the viewer know it is all apart of the same event.

Otherwise it can become confusing to the viewer, this way it is very easily identifiable, but still achieve the goal of representing each country

# data[].attributes.body
To begin I have made the title quite large which creates a focal point for the audience and incorporates dominance which pulls the viewer’s eyes directly to this point first so they have an understanding of what the  event is about.
Using line, I have placed the two cherry blossom branches to relate with the topic but mainly to lead the viewer’s eyes down the poster, to lead them in the way that I want them to see the information.
Next below the title is the details of the main event, the whole feastival. Below that is the logo for Japan/Germany/ China to exemplify what this particular poster is about, which is the Japan events.
The logo is place in the centre which reinforces its importance in the poster, since it is also quite large making it a dominant aspect of the image.
I have placed the elements in the image leading down from each other to create balance in the image, having them off centre would create discord, which is uncomfortable for the view, but using balance, creates harmony which makes it easy for the viewer to understand and view.

For this logo I went through the same process, thinking of a symbol to represent Japan and a food that can be directly linked with Japan.
For this logo I came up with the Cherry Blossom tree and Sushi. Cherry Blossoms are iconic to symbolise Japan, and can be quickly seen and linked back to Japan, the same for sushi.
Then I put the sushi on the tree to replace the flowers. This is representing the arts side of the festival, the food and the culture that is being displayed.

The International Poster. This time the logo is positioned in the center, as from a distance, this is the most viewed area. Up-close, the viewer can identify the title "PERTH Art Feastival" the play on words that combines a festival and a feast to art in Perth. Below the title is the brief: "Come to Kings Park from the 23rd to 27th of September 2015 for a celebration of German, Italian, Australian, Chinese and Japanese food and art." Like the first poster, colours (EoD) red and yellow are used to be consistent and show evidence of harmony (PoD). The Rule of Thirds is what the layout of this poster is based upon as the balanced (PoD) images surrounding the logo, text above and placed where needed creates this. Image 1: German area, Image 2: Japanese area, Image 3: Italian area, Image 4: Chinese area, Image 5: Kings Park entry location to the event, Image 6: Special guests and staff for the event, Image 7: Australian area. "FREE ENTRY" is capitalised to emphasis that the event has no payment for entry.

# data[].attributes.body
The Italian Poster. Logo is placed in the correct upper left corner for eye direction to bottom right corner. To the left of the logo is the brief: Where it is, When it is, What it is and the entry fee "FREE". The word "free" has to emphasised (PoD) to focus the viewers attention. Below the logo is the phrase "All the mamma mia you can eat", referring to the spaghetti eating contest and the atmosphere. It can also be perceived as a metaphor, so much art to digest. The colours (EoD) red and yellow are used as red is a dominate colour and the yellow drags the attention away. This forces the viewer to focus and engage on the whole poster. The colour red was also selected as it turned up in every countries flag. Unity (PoD) is achieved through the harmonious (PoD) balance (PoD) of the aligned (PoD) text and images. Three images are included: Image 1: a snap of the Italian section. Image 2: Happy families enjoying the Italian atmosphere. Image 3: a person celebrating and having fun.

My International logo inspired by an Art Pallet, combined with the outlines of each country involved with this event. The creativity that has gone into making this logo was my choice of inspirational images (see Inspirational Photos tab below) such as the pallet and accurate country outline. The representation behind this logo is that each country represents an art colour that is placed on a typical pallet, meaning that the art comes from each country where their iconic food is made. Emphasis (PoD) is on Australia as it is placed in the center and holds this event. Germany and Italy are on left as they are European countries and China and Japan are on the right as they are asian countries. Colour (EoD) is very much present as each country has their flag. Balance (PoD) is made through the size and scale of each country.

# data[].attributes.body
My Leaning tower of Pisa inspired logo with spaghetti and meatballs. The creativity that has gone into making this logo was my choice of inspirational images (see Inspirational Photos tab below) such as the Leaning tower of Pisa and the Spaghetti Bolognese dish. The logo combines the motto of "Eat your Art" as the Spaghetti Bolognese (Food / the "Eat") combined with the Leaning tower of Pisa ("Art"), forms the representation of Italy. Emphasis (PoD) on the bright spaghetti string leads the eye to the red meatballs, from top to bottom or even bottom to top. The lines (EoD) of the tower forms the identifiable shape (EoD). Scale and Proportion (PoD) challenge the realistic size of the meatballs and spaghetti, as the increased size or decreased size of the tower, creates this illusion.

# data[].attributes.body
For the Chinese logo I designed this simple logo with the help of group member’s ideas. I first began to think of a symbol that could easily be identified with China, so I thought of the symbols that I could think of straight away to do with china. The dragon popped into my mind because it is from Chinese New Year, which is a well-known and celebrated event and I believe it can be easily and quickly related to China.

Then I had to relate the food aspect of the festival in the logo, at first I have the noodles laying on the dragon, but I thought that was silly and found another way by using a tray. It’s a simple logo but I believe it easily relates to China and that was my goal for this logo.

# data[].attributes.body
The first logo was a representation of Italy and Italian food. See figure.1 and full analysis.

The second logo was a construction of each selected country; Germany, Italy, Australia, China and Japan. Since we are in Australia, no logo was created. The other four were divided between myself and Amber 2:3. See figure.2 and full analysis

Without a doubt , both ethnic groups provide massive contribution to Australian society from every perspective. However, some  news report from mainstream media create flaw and negative stereotype on these minority groups. Chinese and Muslim communities are conceived as lack of creativity and  violent respectively.  These misunderstanding become an obstacle in terms of diplomatic relationship among China and the Muslim world. Hence , I want to alter the public stereotype towards these two minority groups , especially  both groups inherit abundant culture  like culinary art  and their own traditional performance.

# data[].attributes.body
The goal for each logo was represent specific country in my case I did China, Germany and Japan.

Each logo had to represent not only the country but the arts aspect of the event and the food aspect of the event.

# data[].attributes.body
My role in the event was to create 2 logo designs, 2 poster designs, 1 webpage and 1 mobile app design to advertise and display the event to the target audience. The principles and elements of design build the design as they are the recipe of creating any design. All of my contribution is hand drawn as it is how it was done in AIT (Applied Information Technology) class.

Though this is a hypothetical event, issues such as security are important for the success of an event of this scale. Security would be used for crowd control/management as well as general security. After researching various companies, i decided Australian Event Protection would be the best option. Though a costly option, this event could be easily shut down or never to be repeated if there was any severe security issues.

This event will mimic Italy's largest food fight. The Battle of the Oranges takes place in the ancient Italian town of Ivrea every year and lasts for 3 days. The Battle evolved from the way girls would drop oranges from their balconies to get the attention of boys. The Battle involves approximately 100,000 spectators and 9 teams of 4000 people. Teams are judged on overall performance and accuracy.

At Feastival there will be a 'mini' battle, the number of teams will depend on the number of brave participants.

How do Festivals Bring Communities Closer?

# data[].attributes.body
As a social science, Anthropology revolves hugely around the observation and study of communities. Whether its a 'community' of an entire ethnic group or a local sports club- from the point of anthropology- they are all essential to the very fabric of our society. Whenever conducting a piece of anthropological and/or sociological observation (i.e. ethnography), anthropologists must pay acute attention to the differing functions of the community/ies.

The preparation that is needed for a festival includes having constant interactions with other local groups/communities. This constant interaction results in the development of a strong and positive sense of community (hence a sense of 'belonging'). With the large quantity of time, funds and effort that people devote into the making of a festival, communities are able to form close bonds and supportive social backing (see Roemer 2007).

In the last two decades, sociological studies have been able to show that 'tight-knit' communities offering social support, results in positive alterations to both mental and physical aspects of an individual (Roemer 2007).

Location, Location, Location. In order to be successful, this event needs to be at a suitable location. As a group we decided on the location, but it was up to me to actually look up where in Kings Park we could hold certain events. The Three areas we selected were:

1. Synergy Parklands

2, LotteryWest Family Area

3. Saw Avenue Picnic Area

Each of these locations are capable of holding different amounts of people and therefore we have targeted specific events for each area. Case Example is the Saw Avenue Picnic Area.

Based on my economics background, i decided to take a management approach to this assignment. I therefore looked at this assignment from an Event Coordinator's perspective. This involved deep research into areas such as governmental laws and regulations, security, transport and many other areas. By doing such research i add a "realism" element to the project as if we abided by the same laws and regulations that i have researched, we could actually hold this event in real life.

Ethnography is basically anthropological and sociological fieldwork. It is the main form of research, revolving mainly around strict observation and self involvement in social groups/cultures/instances. Some interviews may also be conducted for the research, however questions asked in the interviews must stay quite general and broad, as the main research must always stem from observation. This observation must come from the point of view of the subject of study.

# data[].attributes.body
My anthropological analytical article would revolve around 3 main parts:

1. Appropriate Cultural Involvement: How 'real' is the experience we are providing? Revolving around interviews and observational ethnography.

2. Cultural Anthropology: Physical evidence of cultural clashes/differences within present communities. This may also include delving into linguistic anthropology i.e. observing verbal interaction between differing cultural/ethnic groups.
Revolving around observational ethnography.

3. Sociology: studying human behaviour within each festival activity i.e. looking for "public issues" (Mills, Wright 1959) that underlie "private troubles" (Mills, Wright 1959). Strictly observational ethnography.

There are several organisations which promote a 'mutual understanding' and strengthen relations between Perth and Japan. Through the Sister City program Perth's connection to Japan becomes a two way avenue. "Both communities become enriched with a broader understanding of each others nations, traditions, customs and cultures". Perth's first sister city agreement was with Kagoshima, Japan 1974. This was a highly successful endeavor. As our sister city Kagoshima is promoted in Perth, so too is Perth promoted in Kagoshima. We may be on opposite sides of the equator but we share the same latitude and a connection as sister cities.

The stalls in the Japanese section of the 'Feastival' will be set out in a alley like format, where guests are able to experience the delights and excitement each season in Japan offers. Amazing meals are either cooked before your eyes or artistically created with care. There will also be a range of activities to get the kids creating their own master pieces. Seasons hold a significant importance in Japan's culture, being celebrated through festivals and foods specifically made during that time. The concept aims to create an immersive environment of Japanese culture through 'food as art and an appreciation of the traditions and values held by the Japanese.

The influx of Italian migrants to Perth first became significant at the time of Western Australia's Gold Rush. There was a lot of work available to unskilled labours and due Italian's discipline and hard work ethic they were easily employable. Italian migrants were also attracted to work in other felids such as the fishing industry and urban pursuits which included market gardening and keeping restaurants.

As migrants they were hungry for the foods and flavours of their own country. This desire resulted in Italian food being the first food to be imported internationally and gourmet products become freely available to Perth food retailers and restaurants.

The Italian's passion for food can be said to have paved the way for Perth's vast, vibrant and diverse food culture. The influence of Italian taste is evident through the multitude of pizza and pasta eateries and Perth's thriving coffee and cafe culture, namely the 'cappuccino strip' in Fremantle.

# data[].attributes.body
My task revolves around the incorporation of Italian culture in this celebration of Perth's ethnic minorities.

Italian migrants have played a crucial role in establishment of Perth's extensive and dynamic food scene. As a result they are one of the main cultures featured as part of the festival.

As the Italian coordinator, it will be my job to organise events and activities within the festival that display aspects of Italian food culture. This will require to me liaise with Perth's Italian community, particularly those who work in food retailers. I will then plan and initiate events that accurately reflect Italian Culture.

I will seek out Italian chefs and food specialists, inviting them to feature as special guests in the festival.

I will also be required to promote and directly advertise the event to the Italian community, encouraging them to participate in this celebration of their significance to Perth's multicultural society.

The festival itself is extremely important in giving local artists, chefs and growers the chance to display their produce, skills and talents. Different ethnic groups will be invited to showcase some of their cultures most exciting and beautiful qualities. This will contribute to Perth's overall engagement with multiculturalism and build a greater sense of community. The festival will also improve marketing and tourism for the City of Perth.

The anthropological and sociological contribution to the event is important because, as mentioned before, it will provide future event managers with feedback that will later be used to 'better' specific areas and/or events included in the festival. Anthropological analytical articles will also be presented to the City of Perth for evaluation. These articles will provide the Perth City council with research and evidence of social behaviour, giving the council a 'template' for any future social events held in or around the Perth metropolitan area. Articles and research conducted will also provide the council, and if forwarded onwards, national governments with further ideas on developing multiculturalism and stronger local communities within Australia.

My task includes making sure the events being held/groups included in the 'Art Feastival' are culturally correct and appropriate in order not to offend ethnic groups and communities. This also insures that all cultural experiences we provide are authentic.

As well as insuring cultural appropriation, a group of local, national and international anthropologists are invited to analyze social behaviour at the 'Feastival'. For local anthropologists, this will assist in finding "pro's and con's" for next years festival (as we are planning for the festival to run annually). All analysis will contribute to Perth's anthropological and sociological identity.

As a further extension of the analysis, all anthropologists will be encouraged to release an article (or articles) which address anthropological theories and ideas surrounding festivals, and how they bring communities together/how communities interact - these will later be made available for the evaluation and analysis by the City of Perth for future event planning.

With the idea of promoting internationalism through the concept of ‘Eat your art’ our group will incorporate the cuisine of several countries in an artistic foodies’ festival or ‘Feastival’. My contribution is specific to Japans relationship with Australia, promoting and introducing knowledge of its culture and art through food.
How we communicate with our neighboring countries is imperative to building positive intercultural relationships. My task therefore involves organisation and collaboration with guest speakers, Japanese artists, workshop teachers and stall vendors in order to bring the Japanese aspect of the ‘Feastival’ together. I will also provide the marketing information for this particular section of the festival. The Japanese portion of the ‘Feastival’ will be indicative of a ‘walk through the seasons’, with the cuisine not only in its artistic form as to display which foods are available at the different times of the year.
